Chimney Charms
A fireplace chimney provides a gateway for energy to enter your home.
Keep the fireplace clean to discourage negativity. Fairies use the smoke-hole of their mounds as an entrance.
You can call on the fairy folk to ward off negativity from entering your home through the
chimney by placing a figurine or picture of a fairy on your hearth or mantel.
Also, while a fire is burning you may want to send a protective charm up the chimney along with the smoke by tossing a sprig or two of dried lavender or rosemary into the flames.
Medieval spells for protection called for a toad to be hung upside down in a chimney.
Placing a figurine of a toad on your hearth will suffice.
