A witch ball is a very interesting item. Powerful and simple to make.

It requires a glass jar, I use a jar about the size of a baby food jar, with the lid....

You fill it halfway with sharp items. Broken glass, needles etc.

You then fill it with a liquid. Some use oils some vinegar others use their own urine. That seems to be a personal choice.

You then bury it in your yard. It "cut's" any "evil" or bad, negative things "pointed" at your home. They are good for a year and then it is time to replace them.

I have also heard of witch balls being made with glass and then filled with string or yarn. You place them in a window and they "tangle" negative or evil as it comes to your home. For myself, I place mirrored balls in my windows to reflect out any bad energy from the outside. I make a point to sand off the tops of the jars and to remove any labels.

IF I WOULDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I WOULD SAY YOU ALL GOING HOODOO ON ME.LOL BUT SERIOUSLY, IT IS QUITE AMAZING TO SEE THAT MOST OF THE OLD CRAFTS HAVE THE SAME BASIC FORMULAS ETC. SOME OF THE INGREDIENCE MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT THE CONCEPT IS THE SAME. E.G WINDCHIMES, GLASS BALLS, JARS.

You would be surprised what has gotten passed down through BOS's and then latter published. I have a whole book of this kind of stuff here and probably ten more in storage. I can't wait to get my library back.

BUT IT GOES TO SHOW THAT ALL COME FROM THE SAME "TREE" SO TO SPEAK. KIND LIKE A FAMILY TREE WITH BRANCHES GOING IN EVERY DIRECTION.
