Farmers and their problems have down through the ages been a constant source of income for the south west witches. This protection charm formed from handworked sections of baked clay comes from the Ottery St. Mary area where it was kept hanging in one of the out-buildings. The spell holds good for one year and one day, when, as is the case with your car licence, one is well advised to renew it - if trouble is to be avoided. (Adapted from text by Cecil Williamson)
