Devon charm to counter the power of a 'black whitch'

Horseshoe nailed to a door in Chagford, Devon. If you want to use my photos please attribute this blog

"TAKE a cast horse shoe, nail it over the front door, points upwards. While nailing it up chant in monotone the following :

So as the fire do melt the wax
And wind blows smoke away,
So in the presence of the Lord
The wicked shall decay,
The wicked shall decay. Amen."

 

Hewett 1900
