Witchhazel & dishwashing liquid - 1 to 3 ratio. Just spray on lightly and wipe off. You can get fancy and use rowan wood and red thread, but finding rowan in this country is a chore. Alternatively, put your clothes on inside out to render yourself invisible to the fae. Also invisible to a lot of other people who are going to be too polite to mention your sartorial choices.

Three times my height of course, and with a stone with a natural hole.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course! I've found the stone with a hole is more effective if carried in the hand, or at least tied to a piece of string for using as bolas. Works on more than just fae too.

I like bolas! Much more effective on muggers than a bowl of milk. Though you might get a +5 confusion if you tried

I've never tried a bowl of milk on muggers. I thought they ate fish. But maybe I am wrong.

This may depend upon the species of mugger, but I believe the littles do like a drop left on the porch

I believe baked goods are also considered highly acceptable too. Presumably to have with the milk.
