Spell of Protection

First, go outside in the moonlight. Bring the object if you want to, it's optional.
Sit down. Here you can chose to meditate or not, to get a calm mind. Meditation is a good idea. But it's not nessesary. if you're gonna meditate, make sure you're in a safe place to beable to meditate.
Now, sprinkle the salt around or on you. You can also sprinkle it on the object instead of you, or on it and you/around you.
Close your eyes and say:

"Magix (Or say a magical being's name here) come to protect me,
Don't let evil around me.
On this solemn moonlit day,
let the gods come hear me pray.
I will stay protected.
so mote it be."

Sit there for a moment (doesn't have to be long)and let magix work it's way for you. Then you can take yourself (and the object if you brought one) home.

For added protection, sprinkle some salt in windowseals and doorways.
