PROTECTION SPELL FOR THE ELDERLY OR HOUSEBOUND This spell can be used to improve the health of an elderly person as well as to keep harm away from someone who is housebound. Take a horseshoe or an iron nail and bless it by immersing it in salty water. Bury it in the garden of the sick person or in a potted plant. Leave the tip poking out of the earth to act as a conductor to disperse the energy. Say when you bury it: Ill health I do tell Run through this iron (name of person) is free and well.
