The Protection Ritual:
Lay out each of your protection ritual items. The black candle, black tourmaline, black salt. Bay Leaves, Yew springs, egg shells and cinnamon. You can lay them out however you wish – be creative and go with what feels right. Once you have them laid out as you wish, you can move on to the next step to start your ritual.
Now that you have all your items laid out, light the candle by clicking the flame. Find a comfortable position, relax and take a couple of deep, relaxing breaths.
Give yourself some time to really relax as you watch the flame of your candle and feel the energy of your ritual items in front of you.
Cast a circle around you with your finger or with a wand if you have one. Simply trace a circle around you starting in the North and moving sunwise.
Now focus on the protection you seek. Perhaps it is from a person or a group, perhaps from a battle that is coming or maybe you want to protect your health and wellbeing. Focus on what you need protection from.
Now….
Call upon the protection of the Bay Leaves, known for their qualities of protection and abundance. They have a strong smooth leaf and a formidable aroma and taste. See that strength form a protective shield around you.
Call upon the protection of the magical Yew Tree. The Yew tree is no ordinary tree. They hold a treasure trove of symbolism and ancient magic. There is a reason you find yew trees standing watch over many sacred sites, their presence a silent guardian of protection spanning back to time immemorial.
Call upon the protection of cinnamon. This fiery spice has a powerful energy to ward off negative energies and threats.
Call upon the protective power of egg shells. Known to protect from malevolent forces of all kinds. Imagine in your mind’s eye the egg shells forming a protective barrier around you, or your family – your friends, your home – whatever it is that needs protecting. See the egg shells in the air around you – forming a protective field.
Now invite the protection of the black salt to join the egg shells – see it in your mind’s eye….rising from your ritual layout up into the air around you and sparkling with strong, protective energy – it will absorb all negative energies and forces that near you.
Now we turn to the black tourmaline – a powerful protection stone. Dedicate one of your stones to defending you against the threat or negative energies that you are needing protection from. In your mind’s eye pick up the black tourmaline. Dedicate it to this protective role. And imagine the power from the stone entering your body and radiating it’s protective power from all corners of your self.
Again focus on the thing you need protection from. See yourself facing them with the protective energies around you that you have conjured here in this ritual. Some the proactive shields and barriers as your own personal defensive army.
Repeat these words. “I am protected. I am safe. You can not hurt me – you have no power over me. See my protection and know that you have no power here. Be gone”
By now, your candle will have stopped burning. Your intentions of protection have risen in the flame and smoke and will seal your protection ritual.
Thank your items of protection. Un-cast your circle (in the same way that you cast it but this time from North move in an anti-sunwise direction).
Gently clear away your ritual items. Be well. Be safe.
