ushrooms in a circle
A door within their midst
Mustn’t set a foot in
You won’t know what you’ve missed
Curtsy to the old ones
Do not meet their gaze
Bells will send them running
Their food will bid you stay
Salt around the windowpane
Scissors by the bed
A bowl of bread and milk outside
To save you from the dead
Rowan for the trickster
Silver for the beasts
Holly breaks the curses
Iron they like least
Horseshoe on the lintel
Nails sewn in your hem
No other names but Ainsel
Will keep you safe from Them
