1. Face your witch ball east
Putting your witch ball in an East-facing window may ward
off detriment. This may be because the sun rises in the East and may welcome
new beginnings and the light from the witch ball may scare away detrimental or
harmful energy.
2. A bit of history
Witch balls gained popularity in Medieval Europe. Depending
on the region holistic practitioners, or witches, would bless them to ward off
evil from the home and in other regions witch balls were filled with bright
colors to attract a witch. When the witch would touch the ball her power would
be captured by the glass strands or web and the community as a whole would be
safer.
3. Something smells fishy
And it’s the witch balls. In Cape Cod fisherman have
traditionally tied witch balls to their nets in order to ward off evil spirits
that ride the waves of the high seas.
4. Filled with herbs
During the 18th century many Christians would
fill their witch balls with herbs such as costmary and frankincense and myrrh
to ward off evil and witchcraft.
5. Well, that’s… peculiar
A witch ball from the 17th century was found in
the UK with hair, fingernails, carpenter nails, and for some reason even urine
inside. It was opaque and needed to be x-rayed to actually found out what the
contents were inside. The reason behind this witch ball was to actually throw
the spell back as the witch. The urine was to slow and confuse the flow of the
spell while the nails were supposed to get in the way and frustrate the witch.
