If anything will keep evil spirits away, it would be 300 year old urine.

They knew it was naval fluff because it contained seamen.

Witchcraft is evil! Therefore we must cast ritualistic magic spells to eliminate it! Makes perfect sense.

Now, identification of the nails, urine, etc makes sense... but how do they scientifically determine that "navel fluff" was included?

Worse magic trick ever!

I believe they were also made by 'White Witches' themselves to protect their homes from curses and bad luck.

If it isn't a witch bottle then this is the Worst Recipe for Jail-House Wine I've ever seen.
