Classic Witch Bottle
This type of charm is an old one, and is a classic spell to protect your home. It was originally intended as a way to protect against witchcraft, but its a common form of protection magick today.
You will need a number of things, though you can adapt or modify the exact contents:
A jar with a tight lid
Pieces of broken glass
Nails or pins (rusty is best)
A pinch or two of dried rosemary and/or rue
Vinegar
(SIDE NOTE: You can add your blood to this type of bottle for more personal protection for your home. If you live in an apartment and can’t bury the jar outside put it as close to your front door as you can. I have also added hot candle wax from my personal spell/ritual candle by pouring it over the top of everything to make it even stronger.)
The exact amount of any items will depend a lot on how big a jar you use. Fill the jar with broken glass, rusty nails or other sharp bits of metal. Pieces of broken plates would work ok too. Fill the rest of the jar with vinegar, lemon juice or sour wine. If you want to be really authentic, add a little urine in their too.
Seal the jar tightly, and bury it outside your front door. A witch bottle will protect your house for years.
