This spell is a simple one. With only five steps, it is a good one for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. I have found this to be useful to keep the malefic magic of others out of my home. It can also be repeated and used in a work environment, simply keep the jar on your desk. If you are using this spell in a location where others might be inquisitive about it, you may want to use a jar with opaque glass or colored glass. This way it looks to be more of a decorative object than something just sitting with no apparent purpose.

Items Needed:

• 1 small glass jar with lid
• 10 to 20 slips of paper
• Crumpled scraps of paper that will fill the jar
• Red inked pen
• Sealing wax

Ritual:

1. Select one slip and write your name on it. On remaining slips, write gibberish. Fold all slips.
2. Fill jar with slips of paper and crumpled paper at random intervals. Use first intonation as completing this step.
3. Draw an eye on the inside of the lid. Use second intonation while completing this step.
4. Close jar and seal with wax. Use final intonation for this step.
5. Place sealed jar at entrance into dwelling, where it may be visible. 

Intonations:

1. Many slips of paper lie. Many scraps between. Never shall you find me with your baleful eye.
2. Watchful gods and spirits turn away the evil eye.
3. Safety and goodness sealed within, let my magic's might begin.
