Merry Meet, in this lecture I will be discussing the idea of protection magick, now the first
thing we need to understand is what the term 'protection magick' actually means.
For many people the first thing that's going to come to mind when you hear protection magick
is something along the lines of what we see in the Harry Potter™ movies and the Defense
Against The Dark Arts, and it really is nothing like that. We aren't fighting demons, we
aren't battling other witches, we're not dueling, we're not deflecting magickal spells
and whatnot. Protection magick is simply about keeping ourselves from negative energy, keeping
our energy safe the magick that we're working with, keeping negative energy out, it's
as simple as that.
Now, protection magick is usually one of two things, active protection magick also known
as preventative magick and then there is reversal magick. Now, let's start with preventative
magick, the way I like to look at this is along the lines of health, if we look at preventative
magick the way we do preventative medicine, preventative healthcare, this is akin to washing
our hands and taking our vitamins and making sure we're preventing germs and nasty stuff
to get us sick, so this is, in magick sense, preventing negative energy from attaching
itself to us.
Preventative magick could be done on a daily basis and actually it kind of should be done
on a daily basis, especially if you're coming in contact with other human beings on a daily
basis, just like we should wash our hands every time we go to the bathroom and clean
off the cart before we push it and make sure that we're not going into areas where there
are going to be sick people, if we're going to be doing that we know that we need to make
sure that we should double our efforts. So the same can be said if we're going to be
dealing with a lot of people with negative energy if we're going into situations where
we are going to be coming in contact with other people's energy or if we're doing
a lot of work that requires a specific energy and we don't need that specific energy all
the time.
So we need to look at preventative magick the same way we do preventative medicine and
make sure that we're taking care of ourselves, eating healthy, taking our vitamins, boosting
our vitamin C during cold and flu season and so on, we do the same things when we're
working with preventative magick.
Now I'm going to be covering a few ideas that can be used for preventative magick,
the first one is simply grounding and centering, when we learn how to ground and center ourselves,
what we're doing is we are pushing that energy that we have created out and regrouping
in a way. It can be done in many, many different ways, very commonly is to imagine, simply
that energy pushing down through your body from the top all the way down into the ground
and turning into roots and just returning to the Earth.
A lot of people like to simply go outside, if you can, and take off your shoes and physically
feel your feet on the ground.
Other ways of grounding are simply eating a heavy meal and bringing back in those nutrients
that we've relinquished when we're working our magick, so there are many different forms
of grounding and centering and it's simply just eliminating the excess energy because
when we are working a spell where we're gathering in a specific energy that is for,
say, prosperity, we don't need that 24/7, especially if we're working other magickal
workings, we wouldn't want the prosperity if we're doing another form of magick that
doesn't require that So we want to make sure that we're eliminating the excess because
when we have energy that we're working with and we're just constantly pulling in, it's
a very big drain and can be a drain physically and can make you very lethargic and can cause
you to become physically sick so grounding and whatnot so grounding and centering is
a very nice key element to preventative magick because when we are simply getting rid of
that excess energy that we don't need a lot of times, if we don't ground and center,
we can have excess energy and that can cause wear and tear, you start feeling like you've
had way too much caffeine, get jittery and shaky and feel like you have to be moving
and you have to be doing something and it's very distracting, especially when you've
just worked magick and you're trying to go to sleep, you haven't grounded and centered,
more than likely you're going to find yourself suffering from insomnia. So, grounding and
centering is something that should be used regularly.
The next idea would be smudging, this is where we take a bundle of sage, traditionally, simply
sage, you can get bundles with other herbs included, such as lavender or dragons' blood
or cobalt or cedar there are hundreds of different combinations that you can get these days;
you light a sage stick, you start from the top, you work your way down, and this neutralizes
the energies that are surrounding you. This is great for if you've had an extra stressful
day and you've dealt with a lot of negative energy, if you've come into contact with
some very negative people and whatnot, sage smudging helps neutralize those energies and
then you can, with the other herbs that are added to it, you can pull in specific energies
as well. Dragons' blood is good for protection, cobalt is good for eliminating negative energy
and really dealing with it, exorcising it out and then there is lavender which is good
for helping relax and bring in more of a calming energy to you, so what you use is totally
up to you. Now, sage smudging a lot of people think you have to go purchase a big bundle
of sage or put together a big bundle of sage and that's not the only way to do that,
go to your local supermarket and you can get a little canister of rubbed sage for fairly
inexpensive, you can burn that on a charcoal disk like you would with incense, if you don't
have an incense burner you can also use a clean ashtray or you can get the bottom of
those terracotta planters can be used, those things are great but just simply burning sage,
it doesn't have to be a huge sage stick, it can be simply ground sage that you get
at the grocery store for relatively cheap. So for those people who want to try sage smudging
but can't find the big sage bundles you don't have to worry about that, so that's
another great way. And that's another way like simply washing your hands after you've
been someplace where people have been sick or you don't know how healthy the people
are that you've come into contact with, like you go to the grocery store, you put
your hands on the cart, you don't know who had that cart last, they could've sneezed
all over it so to prevent yourself from catching the cold, during cold and flu season, you
would wash your hands, sage smudging –
along the same lines as washing your hands, something that can be done on a regular basis
and it's a good habit to get into. One of my absolute favorite things is apple cider
vinegar, I often when people come to me and tell me that they're dealing with a negative
person or dealing with negative energy, negative people, my first go-to thing is tell them
to take an apple cider vinegar bath. This is my favorite thing in the world to do because
it's so simple and it works so well, you go to the store and you can buy a small bottle
of apple cider vinegar for less than a buck; all you do is you fill up your tub you can
throw in a handful of salt and a handful of baking soda too to stop your skin drying out,
and pour in the bottle of apple cider vinegar into your tub and just relax, and what this
does is the acidity in the vinegar does two things, the first it does is it helps to recharge
your energies, think of yourself as a battery, the vinegar and the acidity helps recharge
your batteries, it cleanses your aura, it re-aligns all of that energy that you've
been dealing with and then, on top of that, it eats away the negative energy that has
attached itself to you.
A lot of times we come into contact with negative people who don't necessarily realize that
they're negative, you'll know these people because when you come in contact with them
you'll feel totally drained of energy, these are what are commonly known as "psychic
vampires", what they do is leech your energy from you and they tend to become more energetic
the more they are around you and you start feeling more lethargic and you know that you've
come in contact with one of these people because when they leave you just feel like curling
up and going to sleep because you are so drained and a lot of times these people don't realize
that they're doing it, nine out of ten times a psychic vampire doesn't realize that they
are, a lot of times they have the best intentions, they don't realize that they're doing
it so we can't really find them at fault but now we know what we can do to combat that.
And that's to do this apple cider vinegar bath and not only does it remove any energy
leeches, that's how I like to look at them as they leech energy from you, it releases
that connection and it makes it more difficult for them to connect back with you, so especially
if this is a co-worker or someone that you see on a day-to-day basis, obviously you don't
want to take a vinegar bath everyday but every couple of weeks and the more often that you
do it, the more difficult it will be for them to connect that energy because you will start
building up a tolerance. If you don't like baths, I know a lot of people do not care
for taking a bath and sitting in a bathtub, another option is to do it in the shower and
to take the little bottle and slowly pour it over the top of your head and let it go
down your body, now when you do that, first know that it will be very cold, it's very
chilly when you do that because it's not warmed, if you want to try to warm it first
then keep the lid on it and set it in a bowl of warm water, and that'll warm it. Also,
keep your eyes and mouth pursed shut, because it will sting if it gets in your eyes and
it's tasty, if you like vinegar, but it will make your mouth get real pursed because
it's vinegar, and your hair will feel amazing afterwards because on top of the spiritual
benefits of apple cider vinegar, it releases any build-up of whatever hair product and
soap you use, there's usually a waxy build up that's cause by most commercial soaps
so it will cause your hair to become extremely soft. So apple cider vinegar baths are great
to use whenever you come into contact with these people who drain you and, like I said,
it recharges that aura and recharges your energies as well and replenishes what they've
taken. I wouldn't do it on a daily basis, but on a weekly or monthly basis would be
good, or otherwise your skin will start to dry out.
Another popular thing to do is something very simple and it's just shielding yourself
with white light, this is helpful when you know you're going to be going into a situation
or if you're very, very sensitive and very empathic to other people's energies. I usually
have to do this before I go to the grocery store otherwise I feel bombarded and start
getting very anxious and nervous because I have all of these other people who are in
a hurry and aggravated and have had bad days and all their energy seems to be coming at
me. So what I do is simply focus my energy before I leave and simply envision a boundary
around me, of white light. It's kind of like creating a little force field around
you and you just have to focus that and it takes a while for you to make sure that it's
thick enough, it's kind of a trial and error thing, so keep trying it, keep trying it until
you find the way that is best and easiest for you and what works for you because everybody's
sensitivities are different. I like to try to focus starting from the top of my head,
going down around me and just envisioning a bubble surrounding me and it's kind of
like your circle of protection, it works as a filter, it's not going to make people
bounce off of energy field around you, that would be amazing and I would use that to my
advantage if that was the case, that would be a lot of fun playing bumper cars but it
will help block and filter any energy that other people may have that you happen to come
in contact with so that life is a little easier for you.
Another nice method which kind of works with the idea of the shielding are simply talismans
and gemstones that you can carry with you on your person, these are very handy things
to have, and in the image I have up here this is a necklace that I wear anytime I'm going
into a situation of unknowns or a situation where I might feel I need that extra security
or if I'm just going anywhere where there is any energy that might not be positive,
now it might not be negative, but it may be tense or stresses or whatnot. It's a moonstone
there in the center, knowing what your correspondences are is very important so knowing what your
gemstones and their correspondences are is very helpful, for instance, here is the moonstone
and that helps with calming energy, other ones that people like to use are a clear quartz
or rose quarts, some people enjoy using amethyst, smoky quarts, hematite, obsidian and jet also
help with dealing with emotional and stressful events so understanding what gemstones and
their purposes are and those correspondences are will be very helpful in finding talismans
or jewellery that you can wear to help shield you and help you in creating that shield that
you might need, sometimes just holding the gemstone in your hand, I always carry, I have
moonstones all over the place, I keep them in my pockets, I have some in my purse, I
have some I wear as jewellery, simply because they help with extra sensitivity and dealing
with other emotional crises and whatnot, so I keep them where I can easily access them
and if I need to I'll hold on to it and just focus my energy and realign myself, so
understanding what works for you is huge, know your correspondences, like I always say,
magick is the understanding of what different things have on a person, so understanding
what symbols give you peace, what stones give you peace, what stones help you feel more
comfortable is a big part of preventative magick, so when you understand what works
then you're going to be able to find items that you can keep with you that will help
center you and make you feel protected.
So the things I have just listed, the grounding and centering, the sage smudging, apple cider
vinegar, shielding with white light, talismans and gemstones, all of those things can be
used on a daily basis and work like a safety net or like a surgical mask would when you're
trying to keep out things from making you sick, this can help your energy from being
overloaded and keep you from being bothered by other people's energies. So those were
preventative magick, now if there are times where you do feel that someone has sent negative
energy to you and is harming you in some way, there are things that can be done to actively
reverse what has been done to you. Now, the first thing you need to do is figure out,
who is that angry with you? Who would be sending out so much negative energy to you and why
would they be doing this? In order for someone to actually curse another person, there has
to be a lot of negative energy being focused on to that person otherwise negative energy
isn't going to last very long, if you're just mad at someone and (makes annoyed noise)
and you send that out, usually by the time that it's sent, you're over it and so
that negative energy might cause a minor annoyance to that person, focus that energy and they
stub their toe, but it's not going to last and last and last, in order for an actual
curse to last there has to be a deep seated hatred for another person and that takes a
lot of energy, there has to be something to fuel that negativity in order for it to take
hold, so someone would have to hate you with an extreme passion in order for something
horrible to happen. People do hold onto negativity and grudges and this can be sent out to other
people but usually, like I said, they tend to be more an annoyance to that person, it's
not usually harm, it's not usually terrible things happening to that person, it's minor
annoyances, it's aggravations, it's negative things that can happen but not to an extreme.
So when a lot of negative things start happening to you my first thought is to work out what's
going on and maybe there is a way to work through it with that person who seems to have
it out for you, a lot of times a misunderstanding can cause issues and a lot of times if these
things are talked through then sometimes that can help, if that doesn't work there are
things that can be done to help you out. So in extreme cases, if you're being stalked
or if you have somebody who for some strange reason has this focused hatred, because this
does happen, people become obsessed with something in their head that makes them think "I hate
this person" for some strange reason and it's only understandable to them and there's
no way of talking through it, there's no way of fixing it, you've just rubbed this
person the wrong way and so they're focusing that negative energy. Sometimes they will,
if you ignore it long enough and it's just minor annoyances, and you show that it really
isn't worth the trouble in dealing with you at this point in time, usually they leave
you alone and they go away and they go and focus on something else, but sometimes there
is this switch that's flipped and they can't let it go and they become obsessive and they
become harmful. So you should always, before doing anything make sure that you follow the
chain of command and that is, you need to make sure who is causing the problem, why
they are causing the problem, is there a solution to this issue, is there a way of resolving
it, if not you need to make sure that you document everything that is going on, you
make sure that you keep clear records, you make sure that you have physical proof, you
make sure that you go to the people in authority, if it's somebody that is causing problems
at work you go to your boss, to the human resources people, if this is someone who is
threatening physical harm to you and causing negative issues for you, threatening you and
all that, you go to the police first. You make sure that you have proof of what's
going on, that you have written things out, you have made record that this person is causing
issue for you, if you need to get a restraining order, get one, there are things that you
need to physically do, magick is not just going to cause things to go away, so you need
to make sure you follow the chain of command first. Then you can move onto some of these
ideas that can help. OK, a protection jar is the first one that we're going to talk
about here, now they're very common, basically what a protection jar is, it's also called
a witches' jar, it is any type of container it can be small, it can be large, and it's
filled with items of a magickal purpose. Usually, traditionally, items are placed into the jar
that had a magickal purpose at some point in time, so one thing that a lot of practitioners
do is that they will keep a jar near-by and any time they do any magickal workings, any
leftovers (wax drippings, burnt incense, leftover items and what not) are all placed into this
jar, other things, like if a person does a lot of kitchen witchery things like leftover
food and chicken bones, fish bones, beef bones, whatever are placed in there. If you are a
person who does a lot of magickal craftings things such as leftover ribbon or yarn or
thread needles and what not are placed in there. Other things that can be used to fill
a jar are things like salt, water, urine, broken glass, needles, rusty nails, it's
focusing the energy that you want trapped into this jar so it's usually a lot of things
that are leftover, have a lot of magickal pull or are considered negative because as
we understand magick and energy, energy attracts energy so when someone is sending you negative
energy, if you have one of these magickal protection jars on your property then the
negative energy gets attracted to this jar first and gets trapped in there. So usually
these are buried in the ground at the corner of your property, if you are not a homeowner
and you don't have property to bury it in, these can be placed in the backs of cupboards,
in crawlspaces, in attics, they can be placed in storage space, they can be placed above
the rafters in your home, if you open up an air vent they can be pushed into a corner
of the air vent and the negative energy will be attracted there. Just make sure that wherever
that is it's away from where you spend a lot of your time, you want that negative energy
to be attracted AWAY from you. These don't usually have to be changed up but if they
break, if you start feeling extra negative energy being sent to you then you may need
to have more than one, you may need extra protection jars, so that's always a possibility.
A witches' ladder is another very common way to deflect negative energy, usually it's
used to keep out negative spirits, what they are are a length of yarn with knots in them
and feathers and sometimes bone is placed in between the knots, various colors of yarn
and feathers are used in the witches' ladder depending on what kind of energy you're
trying to attract through the feathers and what kind of energy you're trying to deflect
through the yarn, so knowing your correspondences is very important. The purpose of a witches'
ladder is, again, to attract negative energy and to confuse that negative energy, the negative
energy the way that it's explained in the lore of the witches' ladder is that the
negative spirits feel the need to untie all of the knots and usually there are thirteen
knots in a witches' ladder and they have to take the time to untie all the knots and
by the time they have untied all the knots they forget the reason why they're there
in the first place so that's the whole purpose of the witches' ladder and they're very
good in helping to deflect the negative energy. Another neat thing you can do is use mirrors,
small mirrors can be found at your local dollar store, you can find the little compacts, or
you can even purchase mirrored tiles at crafting stores you place those on your windowsills,
you can even make pretty crafts for your window using these if you don't just want the mirrors
on the window, you can make a design using them. You want the mirrors reflective side
facing OUT of the window, so this literally reflects the energy and directs it back to
the sender, I've seen some really pretty ones that have been made with old Compact
Disks, and speaking of using Compact Disks, I've seen some really neat, creative ways
of using CDs and turning it into a wind chime, simply by using bits of thread and old CDs
it's good to get the kind that are silver on both sides rather than silver on one side
and on the other a label but placing these in the corner of your house would reflect
negative energy quite nicely and it's a fun and pretty craft to do too so, you're
not just putting mirrors up, you're also creating something that's pleasant to look
at and not so strange. Another alternative to the mirror in the window can also be using
a crystal as a sun catcher, the crystal traps and changes negative energy, some people believe
that a crystal in the window will be able to transform the energy or return it so you
could actually look at this similarly to the idea of the circle of protection, using it
as a filter (as I discussed in the Creating Circles lecture), it will filter the negative
energy out and let the positive energy in. Now, the final one I'm going to talk about
here are freezing spells, freezing spells can be very effective when needed, these should
be a last resort,the purpose of a freezing spell is to freeze the person or energy in
it's tracks and stop it, it's a pretty powerful type of spell, how it works is you
write out the problem and put it in a jar and freeze it with water and/or other items
in the jar and place that in the back of your freezer, this will last for about a month,
this is usually long enough for the person who is bent on causing you issues to decide
to stop or the spell can be continued the following month, it should usually start on
the crying moon, and will last until the next one, it does take a lot of energy to do and,
like I said, it should be done as a last resort. So these were some very basic and simple protective
magick solutions, now they aren't the only solutions out there, these were just some
of the ideas for what can be done. Remember, however, that you should always follow the
chain of command, you should always make sure that you understand the situation and what's
going on, make sure that you look at the solution and possibilities, a lot of times when you're
in a situation, it's very common to only look in one direction and sometimes it's
hard to look at all sides and it's best not to simply react but to look at the issue
at hand and choose the method which suits the situation, not choose the quick route
and eliminate what we perceive as the problem, things are usually not as cut and dry and
as black and white as we would like. It would be wonderful to look at every situation and
simply see good versus evil but that's usually not the case, even in the worst situations
we sometimes have to look from the person who's causing the problems side, to understand
not only what they're thinking but why they're thinking it, why they're feeling the way
they are and sometimes this helps us in understanding the proper method in which to deal with the
situation, if we can look out from, not only, our eyes, but the eyes of the person who's
causing the issue, that's a big thing that we need to learn to do, it's very difficult
and it can be very, very trying, especially when you're dealing with the situation at
hand when it's a negative one but in the long run it's worth it because there's
always more than one side to every story. Thank you for joining me in this lecture,
I hope that it's helped you out and helps you do preventative magick first before thinking
about pulling out the big guns. So I thank you for joining me, Merry Part.
