Garden protection spell

Now gardeners are beginning to plant their flower and vegetable gardens. After all your hard work, it’s a good idea to protect your garden from pests. Here is a spell that may help without harming any cute but pesky little critters. In a small glass jar, mix about 1/4 cup each of vinegar and olive oil. Add a clove of finely chopped garlic, black pepper, and a dash of cumin. Shake well and let steep for a day. Sprinkle here and there around the edge of the garden plot or borders. End the spell by saying in a strong voice:

Creatures of the land
And creatures which take flight,
This garden is protected
Both day and night.
So mote it be.
Repeat as needed.
