To protect yourself from being struck by lightning according to an old book
of Witchcraft and Wizardry, dig up a small black coal from under a mugwort
plant at either noon or midnight on the Summer Solstice and carry it with you
in a pocket , purse, or charm bag as a powerful protective Amulet.
A piece of wood splintered from a tree by a Both of lightning or cut from a lightning
struck tree also works well as a powerful Amulet against lightning when
carried in your pocket.
In some parts of England it was once believed that a
sprig of hawthorn cut on Holy Thursday could be used as an Amulet to guard a
family and their home from being struck by lightning.
