Preserve Me From Harm: Protection Against Witches

Disclaimer

This is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells.

With all of the purportedly effective charms and wards against witches, it's a wonder witches got anything done. Here is a list of witch repellants.

Agrimony Ash Aspen Beer Brass Broom Candles Charms Chickens Church Grim Daisy Dill Elder Emerald Garlic
