Get four or more St. Benedict medals, and at a minimum bury them in the four corners of your property for protection from evil. Bury them 6-8 inches deep. You can bury more along the sides of your property too, if you so desire. If you are in a condo or apartment, put a medal in the four corners of your home.
St. Benedict was the founder of Western monasticism. He is the patron saint of all sorts of things. Above all, his intercession offers protection from the evil one, especially if one wears his medal.
St. Benedict is the twin brother of St. Scholastica. They were born to the Roman nobility. Eventually he founded the monastery at Monte Cassino where he wrote the Rule of his order.
