The Powwow Guy

It's very sad that we even need charms like this, but this time of year especially we see and hear stories about families being robbed or houses being broken into.  They say that desperate times call for desperate measures, but nothing on this earth forces us to be victims of other people's desperate measures.  To that end, I am sharing some of the more common charms for protecting your home from thieves and burglars this holiday season. 

All of these charms are taken directly from Long Lost Friend.

To Protect Houses and Premises Against Theft

Its, alto Massa Dandi Bando, III. Amen

J. R. N. R. J.

Our Lord Jesus Christ stepped into the ahll, and the Jews searched him everywhere.  Thus shalt those who now speak evil of me with their false tongues, and contend against me, one day bear sorrows, be silenced, dumbstruck, intimidated, and abused, forever and ever, by the glory of God.  The glory of God shall assist me in this.  Do thou aid me J. J. J. forever and ever.  Amen.

The above is written on a piece of parchment and hidden in the home.  It acts as a curse against those who would attempt to cause us harm.

A Good Charm Against Thieves

There are three lilies standing upon the grave of the Lord our God; the first one is the courage of God, the other is the blood of God, and the third one is the will of God.  Stand still, thief!   No more than Jesus Christ stepped down from the cross, no more shalt thou move from this spot; this I command thee by the four evangelists and elements of heaven, there in the river, or in the shot, or in the judgment, or in the sight.  Thus I conjure you by the last judgment to stand still and not to move, until I see all the stars in heaven and the sun rises again.  Thus I stop by running and jumping and command it in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Amen

This must be repeated three times.

To Charm Enemies, Robbers and Murderers

God be with you, brethren; stop, ye thieves, robbers, murderers, horsemen, and soldiers, in all humility, for we have tasted the rosy blood of Jesus.  Your rifles and guns will be stopped up with the holy blood of Jesus; and all swords and arms are made harmless byt he five holy wounds of jesus.  There are three roses upon the heart of God; the first is beneficent, the other is omnipotent, the third is his holy will.  You thieves must therefore stand under it, standing still as long as I will.  In the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, you are conjured and made to stand!

Repeat three times.

A Charm to be Carried About the Person

Carry these words about you, and nothing can hit you (or steal your wallet!)

Ananiah, Azariah, and Misael, blessed be the Lord, for he has redeemed us from hell, and has saved us from death, and he has redeemed us out of the fiery furnace, and has preserved us even in the midst of the fire; in the same manner may it please him the Lord that there be no fire.

To Prevent Bad People From Getting About Your Home (originally used to protect cattle)

Take wormwood, five-finger grass and asafoetida, blend with some dirt swept up from behind your back door and add a little salt.  Tie these all up together with tape and put the bundle in a hole over the entrance to your home and cover it up.  This will certainly be of use.
