#sheilding

Lately I have been having lots of interference coming from other people's energies. Being an empath I'm like a sponge and recently I have just been soaking up dirty dish water from everyone around me. So I decided to restate my spiritual boundaries.

I am also moving up in my current job and now have a bit of authority over my coworkers. I am really confident in communicating with others...however being assertive is my problem. I also can tend to let people walk on me. I decided healing my heart and opening my throat chakra would help me out immensely.

This was my work space. Excuse all the cat hair I couldnt find my normal ritual altar cloth.

I used a purple candle for setting my psychic boundaries and a blue candle to heal and open my throat chakra. I places eggshells, salt and rosemary around the base of the candles. I annointed the candles, crystals, and myself with new moon water. And I burning some Lotus incense.

I began by grounding myself. Imagining a white light entering my body with each breath growing more light into my body. I felt the energies around me. Listened to everything around me.

I started off holding Hematite to my Root Chakra and grounding myself. Affirming that I am content and safe. I am protected.

I moved on to holding Smoky Quartz over my Root Chakra. I imagined all the negative energies that have been attached to me sizzling away.

Then to the Malachite. I held it over my Heart Chakra and affrimed that I heal all the hurt that has been caused to my heart from these energies I let in.

Next was the Blue Lace Agate. I held it to my Throat Chakra. I recited affirmations about speaking nothing but light and love. Standing my ground. Communicating effectively and efficiently.

I then moved on to setting my sheilds in place.

I meditated with the Rose Quartz. I affirmed that my being is protected by light and love. That the only thing that can pass through this layer is all those positive, unconditional love.

I moved onto the next layer of my protective aura. I used the Lepidolite stone to in state my psychic abilities to be aware of anything that tries to enter my space. I will be aware of all attacks.

The first and most precautions layer. A chain. I used an Onyx stone to put a thin basic barrier around my aura. This would protect me from simple attacks such as ill words and bad vibes.

The idea was my energetic sheild is an orb of bright pink light around my being, then a purple halo around that, then the black chain around it. The chain was specifically put into place to allow energy to leave freely but entry is much more difficult.

The actual meditation seemed to be pretty powerful. I took several videos of the flames. In this video it showed the most intense energy and then in a blink of an eye it calms completely. It did this several times in between certain affirmations, showing that my intention has been set.

I placed all of the crystals into a little pouch to more easily ground myself in the future. I also placed a little orb full of the herb mix in the pouch.

I am very happy with how this meditation went. Throughout the day I noticed it was easier for me to speak my mind freely. I spoke efficiently and effectively. I also approached everything with love and didn't let any negativity I encountered affect me.

I want to note that I chose all of my herbs intuitively. I know Lepidolite isn't usually used for psychic abilities but it called to me for this purpose.

Shielding was never law- it was guidance to keep people safe. Because of the shielding rules, these people could not be forced into work and they could access some kind of pay/income/extra support.

So maybe you've heard that not all spirits are nice, or are willing to share their spaces with you. Sometimes they try to harass you and give you tons of bad vibrations. This can result in you having negative thoughts or feelings, when you are otherwise not such a negative person.

Last night my sister came over to spend the night, she just wanted to get away and hang out which I was happy with.

Out she hauls her copy of Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, a bottle of wine and her grimiore I made for her.

We chatted about guys, tattoos, movies, and finally I asked what she wanted to do; “It’s the new moon after all. Anything in there you’re wanting to try?”

After deciding that a Lucky in love spell would be better suited in a couple months, talking about spirits and how hedge crossing works, I took the reins.

“I’m going to lead you through centering, grounding, and shielding because they only briefly mention it in any book. And then, we’ll make you a witch ball. That way you’ll be ready to do whatever working you want, and you’ll be safe.”

We go to the guest bedroom where I’ve got all my witchy stuff stored, lit some incense, pulled out the selenite and started unloading my trunk and drawers of items. Pulled a clear ornament off the tree, chatted about saturnalia, how half of our heritage is based in Ireland and Celtic in nature and went to work.

No correspondence books, not rattling on about this does that and that does this. We just sat, and talked and I gave her herb and ingredient after ingredient to touch, smell, meditate with and just think about how it made her feel. After she chose, she’d tell me why, and I’d give her some info or history if it’s use etc.

Asfoetida, mandrake, iron nails, salt, beach sand, seaweed, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, mugwort, wormwood, datura seeds, datura blooms, dead bees, tobacco, mistletoe, cypress, chamomile, rose, lavender, thorns, ginger, lemon peel, hawthorn, juniper, patchouli, white sage, Palo Santo, damiana, witch hazel, pepper corns, pepper flakes, onyx, tigers eye, amethyst, rose quartz on and on and on. I kept pulling ingredients out. And it was amazing. For so long I’ve learned from her and shared moments in her world, but she’s entering mine now and it’s my favorite thing.

After she went through each one, asking questions, sharing stories, memories and random stuff she picked her herbs and filled up the ball. I know it’ll work for her because she chose them based on what connections she felt, her own correspondences, her own witchy nature. I got to be her book for the night.
