To Avoid Poisoning Through The Feet

Many harmful tricks (spells) are laid by throwing powders in a pathway, burying bottle spells for the victim to walk over, or lifting the victims foot track dirt and working with it in some way.

To shield yourself from anyone doing these things to you, sprinkle black pepper powder or a mixture of black pepper and “Fear Not To Walk Over Evil” powder in your shoes. It is said that your track will be magickally invisible or invulnerable to harm, and even if someone does throw for you or lift your foot track, they won’t be able to affect you in any way. If you keep a silver dime in your shoe, too, and check it every once in a while, you’ll know if someone is laying messes for you because the dime will turn black.
