You will need:
White cloth (such as cotton handkerchief)
a few strands of loose dog hair (why dog hair? cause dogs are willing to endanger themselves for their masters sake)
a strand or 2 of your hair(one or both parents)
picture of your child
any protection herb of your liking (chamomile is great for children)
black yarn or thread

*Place the picture of your child on the cloth along with your hair, the dog hair and a sprinkle of the herb. Bring up the corners and tie it with the string, all the while focusing on protecting your child.
You can place the sachet on your altar, or place it n your child's room, or even have your child carry it with them.

Will this work on a child that's not yours and can you protect more than one child in the same spell or do you have to do it twice (my best friends children)?
