Rarely will you see an unjeweled pagan, even if the person is wearing one single ring or pendant. Know full well that jewelry can be used as defense. Witches take it one step further by knowing the meaning, power, and properties of each stone and type of metal, and wielding that energy for the good of others and themselves.
You can make a powerful protective amulet with just two items— a tiny muslin pouch and a tablespoonful of dried herbs. The list below offers a selection from which to choose for the specific kind of safeguard you feel you need.
