A simple protection jar (or pouch) for beachcombers, sailors, or all other individuals who wish for some protection when in the domain of Poseidon and the ocean.

(*You do not need all of these to make the jar or pouch, any one or any combination of these should theoretically work as long as your intentions are faithful)

✨ = what I used in my jar

~ Saltwater: (jar only) ✨

~ Sand: (pouch or jar) ✨

~ Aquamarine crystal (any size or quality is equally effective, wether a chip or tumble) ✨

~ Beach glass

~ Dried sage

~ Greek protect kharakter ✨

~ Thurizaz rune

Small self love and strength/will power spell!

Protection charm / prayer beads I finished. any advice for for charming it or blessing it or is just making it with intention good enough?

I’m working on a bracelet

Another interesting problem is posed by the fact that this material from Greco-Roman Egypt contains many sections that are Greek in origin and nature. How did this older Greek religious literature find its way into Egypt? We do not, and probably never shall, know. In this older material, the Greek gods are alive and well. But Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, and others are portrayed not as Hellenic and aristocratic, as in literature, but as capricious, demonic, and even dangerous, as in Greek folklore. The gods and their activities resemble those in the popular myths and local cults, as reported by mythographers or by Pausanias.

Initially I tried following the sources on the footnote, but on reading the paragraph further has me thinking to grasp the "demonic" aspect means studying Greek folk religion. In other words, if Betz suggests that the "demonic" conceptions of gods are part of the material of the PGM and linked to a folklore and folk religion for which the PGM is the primary source, then I need to study the PGM portrayal of the pre-Christian gods and daimons.
