Protection Magic: Warding and the Evil Eye

Greeting’s heathens and witches,

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

              This episode focuses on different types of Apotropaic magic, which is meant to deflect bad luck and ward off the evil eye. We discuss various types of warding magic, like the Evil Eye (Nazar), Hamsa, Eye of Horus, Horseshoes, Fascinum and more. There’s lots of talk of our personal practices, and we go over a spell that we plan to do using a tree!
