Railroad Spikes Defense and Protection Spell
* 4 or more rail road spikes
* Half yard of red cloth
* 4 or more containers of Red Devil Lye
* 1 large bottle of Whiskey or Rum
* Tobacco
* Fiery Wall of Protection Incense
* 4 or more Sixth Pentacles of Mars from the Key of Solomon or you may
choose to use a different protection talisman.
* Glue
* John the Conqueror Root Chips
* Devil's Dung (aka Asafoetida)
* Red Pepper
This defense and protection ritual will be deployed at the four corners
of your house. A person living in an apartment or condo can improvise by
setting potted plants in the four perimeter corners of their dwelling.
Perform during the hours of Mars if possible.
Soak the rail road spikes overnight in whiskey or rum; this will clean
and feed the iron. Take spikes from rum and allow to air dry.
Cut the red cloth into 6 inch strips about one inch wide. If you only
have four spikes, you will only need four strips of cloth. Set the
strips aside.
Print out the talismans using the appropriate color ink. For the Sixth
Pentacle of Mars, red is the appropriate color. Glue one talisman to
each railroad spike. As you prepare your spikes, pray your prayer of
protection such as the 27th Psalms or a protection mantra/chant
associated with the Deity or Loa you work with.
Next tie a strip of red cloth around each railroad spike directly under
the head of the spike. Now you will smoke the spikes in the Fiery Wall
of Protection incense. Add some tobacco to heighten the effect. As you
wave each spike through the smoke of the incense, continue repeating
your prayers and incantations. See the energy of your enemies repelled
by a giant invisible force field surrounding your residence. Visualize
your spiritual helpers forming an impenetrable perimeter of protection.
You may wish to add red pepper or High John the Conqueror Root Chips to
the Fiery Wall of Protection. You can also substitute Devils Dung for
the High John or use the Devil's Dung alone as incense. All are
effective alone or combined for protection work. The next step is
optional but effective. Prick your finger to draw blood and place a drop
of your blood on each spike. You may be led to place the blood on the
talisman too. If pricking your finger is out of the question, dress the
spikes with a little of your urine.
Now it is time to put your protection in place. Dig a hole at the four
corners of your house and place a container of Red Devil Lye with the
Devil facing outward in the hole. Cover the hole and drive the railroad
spike into the ground next to the hole. The head of the spikes should be
flush with the ground and hopefully you will be able to locate it each
month to feed the spike a shot glass of rum or whiskey mixed with some
of your urine. After you drive the railroad spike into the ground, pour
a shot glass of whiskey on it and whisper your prayer, Psalm,
incantation or invocation. Once a month during the Full Moon or New Moon
feed the spikes in this manner or as frequently as you are led.
As you can see, this protection spell incorporates multiple traditions
such as Solomonic magick, Hoodoo, Vodoun, Palo, Santeria and
astrological magick. Spiritual/magical traditions can be used
effectively by observing the simple rule of the Doctrine of Signatures
and the Law of Correspondence. In this defense and protection spell each
component complements the other and combines to strengthen the results
of the spell. One word of caution: when working with spirit entities of
different traditions make sure they will get along or the spell may back
fire or not work at all.
