LAMMAS BREAD PROTECTION SPELL A book of Anglo-Saxon charms advised the crumbling of the Lammas loaf into four pieces and the burying of them in the four corners of the barn to make it safe for all the grain that would be stored there. You can use this old spellcraft in a protection spell for your home. Bake a Lammas loaf, and when it is cool break it into four pieces don't cut it with a knife and take one to each corner of your property with the words: I call on the spirits Of north, and south, east and west Protect this place Now, at the time of the Blessing. Leave the bread for the birds to eat or bury the pieces. Note: bake two so you can actually eat one. You can also make the dough into a wicker man for Lammas or as a altar or table centerpiece wreath for candles as shown in pics
