BANISH TROUBLE

Homework? Zits? Cockroaches? Our sources say this amazing spell will get rid of things you don’t want.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  1 apple

  2 or 3 mint leaves

  1 skewer

  1 ribbon

WHAT TO DO:

  1.  Cut the apple in half to reveal the star at its center. Rub one half of the apple with mint leaves and repeat, “Go away [fill in what you want to banish here].”

  2.  Use the skewer to carefully rejoin the two halves of the apple.

  3.  Tie the ribbon around the apple and skewer.

  4.  Bury the apple in backyard.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN: Our source claims that as the apple rots, whatever has been troubling you will disappear.
