Using the permanant black marker, draw a pentacle on the bottom of the pumpkin.
Place the pumpkin near your front door. Make sure not to leave it on concrete because it will rot faster.
When the moon rises, hold the pumpkin in your arms and repeat the following:“Precious Pumpkin, watch over my home Protecting from bane all you behold, By the power of this fruit in the pal moonlight Shield us from harm both day and night.”
Leave your enchanted pumpkin as your watchful Guardian beside your front door.
