The Pocket Charm of the Thorn-Wrapped Pouch
Every step into the world invites danger. This charm carries a warning in its heart: turn back. Salt to purify, ash to darken, and a thorn to bite the hand that reaches too far.
How to Make It:
1. Take a scrap of cloth and place inside a pinch of salt or ash.
2. Fold the cloth into a small pouch.
3. Tie it tightly shut with thread or twine.
4. Push a thorn or sharp twig through the knot, binding it in place.
How to Use:
Carry it in your pocket when traveling or when you feel hostility near.
If someone directs malice at you, squeeze the charm in your hand and whisper: “Bite.”
Notes:
Renew by adding fresh salt or ash each month.
Retire by burying the pouch at the base of a thorn bush.
