WITCHES LADDER FOR COMFORT AND BLESSING
If you want to do a spell to comfort [a sick friend], try making a witch's ladder.
Take a long blue cord or ribbon, and collect 7 symbols to hang from it -- things like 
Grey feathers for protection during sleep, sprigs of healing herbs, garlic for healing 
and protection, small talismans, conjure bags, charms you get the idea. The important 
thing is that the symbols should represent comfort, protection, and healing. Tie them to 
the cord and charge it with comforting power.
