take a long blue cord or ribbon, and collect 7 symbols to hang from it -- things like grey feathers for protection during sleep, sprigs of healing herbs, garlic for healing and protection, small talismans, conjure bags, charms ... you get the idea. The important thing is that the symbols should represent comfort, protection, and healing. Tie them to the cord and charge it with comforting power.

The "Witch's Ladder" charm -- 7 items on a cord -- is very common in Latin American brujeria, where it is called "sortilage." That word actually means something more like casting lots or drawing straws, but that's what they call it, and i'll explain why:
In Mexico, they make special sortilage candles with 7 little charms in them -- usually tiny metal milagros depicting men, women, children, flowers, hearts, and other devotionary items. You buy a sortilage candle and burn it for 7 days and every day a new charm comes out of the wax and you string it onto a cord, knotting it in place as you go. When the 7 days are up, you have created a special charmed cord! The word "sortilage" makes sense in this context, because when you buy the sortilage candle, you have no idea which 7 charms will be cast inside it, so it is like drawing straws or casting lots. But the name "sortilage" also applies to ANY cord-charm made with 7 items on it.
