In many parts of India, people hang a string of chillies and lemons, tied up with a piece of coal to ward off evil. To be honest, I am not sure what the chillies and lemons are meant to do, but I would think it is not unlike garlic keeping vampires away.

Interesting, never heard of that one. But they definitely stand out on the door frame.

Beautiful picture, Rayna. What an interesting idea. Is it the spice and the tartness that are supposed to keep the evil away?

Hehe, I am tempted to do the same... or maybe mix chilies with rocks in a protection bottle... thanks for the inspiration!
@ Diandra - whether it helps or not, it can't hurt, so why not try.
