Gather all the rusty bent pins, nails, and screws that you can find. Place them in a jar and write the following verse on a piece of paper. Place the verse in the jar, cover with its lid, and bury the jar outside near your door.

If you do not have anywhere that you can do this you can use a small jar such as an empty makeup or moisturiser container instead and plant it in a flowerpot and place it just inside your front door.

If you also have a back door, use two jars so that you are protected at each side of your home.

Little bottle full of pins
Sharp and jagged edges
Keep away the ones who sins
Away from all our hedges
Keep us safe and keep us warm
Watch o’er us when we’re sleeping
Keep us safe and free from harm
And always in your keeping
