Nasty Catchers
I learned how to make nasty catchers from a cyber-friend, a Wiccan witch of
20+ years. I was looking for a way to keep our creepy landlord (who only
lived two doors away) from coming over and hassling us every day.
Start with a whole head of garlic, which has been associated with protection
from ancient times. Stud the garlic with as many pins, nails, screws, etc.,
as you like. These sharp objects will impale the negativity/evil/icky stuff.
Then, take thread (I like to use two or three different colors) and weave it
around and around and around the garlic, using as much as you like. The
string will trap the negativity.
Finally, decorate the nasty catcher with little pretties - I always have
odds and ends of old costume jewelry lying around, but you can also use
little bows, beads, whatever - the pretties will help transform the negative
energy into positive energy before releasing it back into the universe.
While you're working on them, it helps to visualize your home in a sphere of
bright white light, invisible to people you don't want around, safe and
secure from any harm or evil. I also like to do a binding on them after
they're finished.
To hang them, I lay two pieces of string out in an X, set the nasty catcher
on the center of the X, and then pull the four string ends up to form a
little basket. I have them hanging over all my doorways, but you can put
them anywhere you feel you need extra protection.
Kids love making these - and they work! Creepy landlord came two more time
but was obviously extremely uncomfortable - stood on the porch, wouldn't
come in! And then never bothered us again.
