In Scotland, bracelets of leather, copper, braided hair, or red coral were often worn for protection. Necklaces of lucky stones or pebbles protected against drowning, lightning, or robbery. Silver coins, iron objects, and the berries and twigs of the rowan tree were also commonly used, as well as herbs like rue. Here is a protective charm to recite whenever you want to intensify your protective field: Power of silver, Power of stone, Protect me fully, And my home. Power of rowan, Power of rue, Bless and shield All that I do. Power of thread, Power of bone, My power intact, And left alone. |
