This working uses a "cat got your tongue" imagery to discourage someone from speaking maliciously and to hunt down and squash any ill effects of such gossip.
To reinforce the work, the person can rub the candle with Crown of Success oil and sprinkle Fiery Wall of Protection Powder in a large circle around the candle just after lighting the candle wick.
Later, this Fiery Wall of Protection Powder can be sprinkled discretely where the malicious gossip takes place, or this powder may be sprinkled outside the home.
Fiery Wall of Protection Powder often contains the following: powdered dragon's blood (Dracaena draco or Daemonorops draco), powdered frankincense (Boswellia sacra, Boswellia frereana or Boswellia bhaw-dajiana), powdered myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), ground cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, Cinnamomum aromaticum, or Cinnamomum burmannii), ground ginger (Zingiber officinale), and arrowroot powder (Sagittaria graminea) [This particular Fiery Wall of Protection Powder ought not to be sprinkled on one's own skin.]
