Protection from Intrusion: Place a pinch of any form of Elder in the four corners of the room and also in the room’s center -- or, alternatively, hang some Elder in bags above the front and back doors. This is said to provide protection against break-ins and also to shield one from prying eyes, both physical and spiritual.
