Sister isn't there the prayers of Saint Cyprian? I'm sure it's in the Euchologion of your Parish in Serb/Slavonic. You should ask him, it is guaranteed they might have it. I haven't gotten the chance to check from Prayers in English...

I've been told that there are numerous things that should be done for protection. Blessing and incensing the house: taking prosphera(andetheron) and holy water in the morning(before eating or drinking anything); wearing a Cross. Regular prayers. Doing the sign of the Cross is a great protection.
But, these are things that should be done on a daily basis anyways. In that way, it would avoid being attacked. But, if an attack has already been instigated, then these rules should be followed immediately, but they should also become the routine, in order to keep a spiritual defense at all times.
Plus, frequent attendance to Holy Communion. An added prayer can be said to Sts. Cyprian and Justina.
There's no specific prayer, like an incantation that will get rid of the attack. That is the mentality of the spiritualists. It's our spiritual vigor and conduct and faith in God that will be our defence, with God's support, of course.
You have a strong faith...therefore, you will have a strong defence. It's just a time of trial. It must be faced, because God has allowed it. Put all your faith in God and He will be with you. He is there and nobody can defeat Him. You are with Him and therefore in His protection.
The sign of the Cross and the name of Jesus Christ are our biggest weapons against any demons. Our faith in the Cross and our faith in the name of Jesus Christ comes from our free will to accept Them.
God's power and our faith in His power will defeat any demon and his master.
Oh sorry. I hope my question was not misinterpreted. I mean to ask for prayers against people practicing witchcraft/sorcery/etc.
Someone of another faith within the family is the "suspect". The person has NO respect for Orthodoxy, they started choking when the house was being censed by the priest, and fled the house. On another occasion they locked the door so he would not enter the room while blessing the waters. But further than that we've seen suspicious amulets, and superstitious items (from wrapped up hay and wheatwith nails in it, to things nailed to a board under their' bed) in the room and house where they reside. Ever since they joined the family everything has been going downhill over there. My kids wake up from naps or in the night with HORRIBLE nightmares about monsters and being chased and scratched any time we have stayed down there. Then my almost three year old one day out of the blue told me this person doesn't love God.
We stopped going over there and I had the priest read prayers for my kids againsafter church yesterday. But please pray for them guys. And pray for the spouse to get back on the path of Orthodoxy.
In Christ,
Tessa
