In A Quandry Here., definitely in need of some wisdom. Options

My daughter who admittedly is a new driver had her first accident. My husband and I ran over there etc.

The thing is I immediately thought in my head -- magick! I said nothing though thinking I was imagining things. Later my husband said to me that he thought there was just something very strange about this particular accident, just very funny. Like magick I asked? He thought a bit and said yes; I'm positive. wow!

But who, how, why? Was it a hex or just the evil eye not done intentionally. She is in a school that seems more like a home for wayward girls to me. The next town over is a bad area and my daughter shows up with a cute tiny sports car which she worked hard to buy herself but maybe someone there thinks mommy and daddy.... You get the idea.

My kid came inches from being killed so I'm not taking this lightly. The question here is if I am wrong and send spirits out that cannot complete their mission that presents a problem. I was thinking of something from the NAP for not know where your attacker is but changing the words but I just don't know how to handle this.
Can someone tell me how to get around this??? Wisdom please.

Peace

You might look at something like a protection spell if you aren't sure who the attacker is - assuming there is someone intentionally targeting your daughter. Does your daughter practice? Does she have friends that do as well, and might she have made any enemies in this vein? Teenagers especially generally do not blink twice about hexing somebody, and they've got little enough experience to really want to do harm - adults tend to be a little more level headed and if they were one of those teens in the past, well, we tend to grow up and realize that magical violence is still violence.

If you're concerned for your daughter, talk to her about protective options she might help with. If she's been begging for a tattoo, you might come up with a sigil for protection that you can create together. As your daughter, this could be a really empowering process for both of you.

As for identifying unknown attackers, if your daughter is the target then I would still set up something around her personally - something in iron, like a sword pendant, or a stone of retribution like onyx. For work specifically fore direct retribution, you might do something with saturn. You'd need an image or better bodypart from your daughter - nails, hair, etc. - possibly folded into a packet with a seal of saturn, protection oriented stone, plant, etc.

For something she can have with her, though, I'd put together the amulet - a little sword and shield made of iron, with the seal of saturn or the rune Suwelo engraved on it. If you've got the materials and tools on hand to cast it yourself all the better, otherwise if she's aware of and working with you you can mix a little blood into some enamel and paint the amulet to actually create and bind it specifically to her. The symbolism is fairly obvious I think - be sure to paint the back-side of the shield, and not to paint the sword blade if you can find something this specific.

It's not as lovely, but a medicine bag can be as good, same concept as the packet.

The wording is the easy part, really, the symbolism needs to be geared towards unknown attackers, blind combat, etc. If you're into Tarot magic, Justice, the Hanged Man, and the high Priestess are all good cards; the Tower as well if the idea is destructive retribution. With Tarot magic I prefer to use the minor arcana as well to tell the story from the beginning, and 'write my own ending' as it were, so you might start by depicting your daughter under attack from unknown forces and those attacks being repelled and delivering destruction upon her assailants. This can be done in five cards, so focused enough to not have the whole deck on the altar.

Hopefully that gives you a few ideas that are familiar enough for you to work with. I do think you should definitely involve your daughter, the magic we do for ourselves is much more effective than the magic done for us by someone else.
