Description

A magical recipe for a safe journey (אדא טלב אנסאן ימשי פי טריק בעידה). Take 7 pebbles representing 7 prophets (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Aaron). Then recite 7 times verses including Exodus 15:16, Psalms 116:16, and Psalms 141:10. Then throw one pebble in each of the four directions (behind, front, right, left) and bind up the remaining three pebbles in your handkerchief. (Information in part from FGP.)
