malicious but comes from loneliness in a close relative, a child or even your
partner. You can carry it out before going to work or when you anticipate the
arrival of the person. It is much kinder than a traditional binding spell as it
preserves the positive aspects of the relationship.

* Light deosil a circle of lavender and rose incense sticks for love and kindness.
* Fill a pot or a small cauldron, or any heatproof dish, with sand and in it stand
a single orange candle for independence.
* Take a long piece of red thread and tie nine loose knots around the base of the
cauldron to represent the tangled emotions, saying as you tie the knots:
Bind and wind nine times through, bonds that stifle, tangle, twine, bind unwilling
me to you.
* Cut through the knots one at a time, using a knife (not scissors), saying:
Ties so binding,
Cut right through,
Guilt unwinding,
Freedom finding,
Loving you,
Not what you do.
* Light your candle, saying:
Light of self, burning true, I am me and you are you. Light of friendship, light so
kind, free in heart and soul and mind.
* Now burn each of the knots in the orange candle so they drop into the sand,
saying:
Free to live in harmony
Caring still,
but separately.
This is also a good ritual if you are separating or divorcing from a partner but
need to maintain friendly contact, perhaps because you work together or have joint
family or financial responsibilities.

8 - Crystals And Protective Magick

Whether you are carrying out spells, rituals or divination or are simply feeling
anxious, vulnerable or under attack from inner or external forces, psychic
protection can enclose you in light and keep out all that threatens your harmony.
It is a very positive form of magick that for everyday use requires a basic ritual
or visualisation that takes only a minute or two. Some people carry out routine
psychic protection when returning from work and in the morning as naturally as
taking off their work clothes and having a bath, to shed the pressures of the day.

You can also with practice learn to cast protection round those you care for: a
child who is being bullied or an animal or bird that is endangered, an area of
natural beauty under threat from developers or a group of people who are being
unfairly targeted.
Of course you can't save a rainforest single-handed because there will always be a
vast tide of despoiling vibes flowing in the opposite direction. But as has been
shown by events such as World Days for Peace and the experiments on the power of
prayer, if enough individuals send out positive intentions, followed by peaceful
action, then people power really does make a difference. There is, as ever, just
one proviso: you must remember the Wiccan Rede, An it harm none, do what you will',
and apply it rigorously.
I am often asked to carry out protective spells for people who feel that they are
the subject of unfair scrutiny, jealousy, anger or resentment. This may be manifest
as deliberate malice, a muttered curse or a declaration of some vengeful intent.
But more usually the origins are more obscure, perhaps coming from someone
gossiping or lying in bed at night, fuming over an achievement or good fortune
enjoyed by their supposed enemy. A whole tradition of 'evil eye' superstitions and
antidotes grew out of such envy and bad wishing. If you are to help counteract this
kind of bad feeling, without causing harm in return, it is best to resort to some
kind of protection.
Note that you do not have to identify the sender of bad vibes in order to protect
the victim. You will usually know who it is, as in most cases there is a likely
candidate, and very frequently the wrong-doers give themselves away as they cannot
resist the satisfaction of checking the effect of their unpleasant actions. Don't
be tempted into direct retaliation, however - remember the Threefold Law.
The same tools and methods of protection can be used whether you are protecting a
cat from an aggressive, stone-throwing neighbour or whales in a distant ocean from
marauding fishermen. These include herbs, oils and incenses, made into sachets and
poppets used in rituals (see Chapters 6 and 7). Salt, sacred water and wax amulets
may also provide protection. One of the most potent methods of protection is
through the use of crystals.
Crystals
All crystals have innate protective qualities as well as healing and empowering
properties and so can offer instant harmony and energy even in the most draining
situations.

Collecting Protective Crystals
Certain crystals have, over the millennia, from Ancient Babylon, Egypt and the
Orient, acquired the reputation of possessing strong protective qualities and are
also usually potent in strengthening and healing. These include amber, black agate,
amethyst, bloodstone, carnelian, garnet, jade, black and red jasper, jet, lapis
lazuli, tiger's eye, topaz and turquoise. However, as you work with crystals and
stones, you may discover that a particular crystal or even a stone from the
seashore fills you with calm and confidence; if you carry or hold this at times
when you feel vulnerable, it will increase in power the more you use it.
Build up a collection of small protective crystals with which you can ring your bed
for quiet sleep or place around your home or workplace to absorb the negativity of
others. Buy or make a dark silk or natural fabric drawstring bag or purse in which
you can carry a single protective crystal, or your crystal pairs (see below), [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
