Hello everyone. Every three months I completely cleans my house and renew the protection on the place. I figured I'd post a few of the tricks I use here both for critique from my elders and betters in hoodoo and to give those with less experience a starting place for their own protection work. Let me start by saying that I believe that protection work is some of the most important work one does, if you don't keep up with your defense, well it just won't be a very good thing.

Now the first thing I do after cleansing the house is to go and dress the rooms with Fiery Wall of Protection. A pinch of the powder in each corner and one in the middle of the floor. The windows get dressed with the oil, again a dab at each corner and another in the middle.

The four corners of the property are nailed down with railroad spikes and I go and urinate on them. The four corners of the house get dressed with more Fiery Wall of Protection.

Along the outside of the house, one on each side theirs a small round mirror to reflect evil, those get brought in and washed and prayed over before going back out.

The front and back doors get dressed same as the windows. The door mats get a powder put under them, its Fiery Wall of Protection mixed with salt and fillings from a sliver dime. I was taught to put that under the door mat to keep evil people from entering.

That's basically it as for what I renew every three months. I do have a couple other things, boxes of Red Devil Lye buried under the house, and a devil pod over the front door, but the pod gets anointed every week.
So yeah that's basically it, sorry for the kinda scatterbrained format, I'm just not very good at typing out things If anyone has any advise on what you think I should or shouldn't be doing please let me know, any questions are welcomed.

I hope this can help the people out their that don't have any protection going to get some up.

In much of southern West Virginia (and perhaps elsewhere) a common sedum plant known as "hens and chicks" is kept on the homeplace for protection against lightning, fire and theft. These are pretty, hardy plants -- easy to find and grow, indoors or out. One cares for them much like an aloe or other succulent plant. My take on this has been to write out my petition for protection (you could annoint it accordingly with LM's Fiery Wall of Protection and/or add in some protective herbs such as Blessed Thistle) then bury your petition along with some graveyard dirt and pot up your hens'n'chicks. Viola! Pretty, functional and discreet protection for your home. Note: I like to use dirt from my Dad's and Popaw's (that's hillbilly for grandfather ) graves as they were very protective of me.

The hens'n'chicks, once potted up and empowered, also make wonderful housewarming gifts or can be sent with students off to college. After a season or two, your plant will have "babies" -- these can be kept intact on the original plant or removed and added to a new pot. I would suggest repotting the plants once a year and renewing the spell. With very little care, and the judicious repotting of the "chicks" one can have an ongoing supply of these lovely little garden guardians.

Hope you enjoy! I am new to hoodoo, but my practices for the most part follow very similar traditions -- I'd love to hear how any of you may choose to make use of this Appalachian folk practice and incorporate it into your Rootwork tradition.

I have also leaned to rub Protection oil on the door knobs and that you can spray Holy Water all around the doors and the windows ...and I was also told you can put Camphor Squares on each corner of the room.

Camphor is a cleanser, it doesn't protect. A better option if you have concrete floors is to drive small tacking nails into the corner of the skirting boards.
