Today is... Protection magic

+ . Actions

[Shield of positivity and protection] ~ Visualize a shield around you | This plays into energy manipulation, but a simple moment to visualize a protective shield around yourself ~ Wear colors associated with protection | Such as blue, white, black, gray, pretty much any color actually ~ Drink warm tea | Especially teas made with protection herbs or flavored with tastes you associate with protection ~ Counter-clockwise actions | Such as stirring your tea counter-clockwise, drawing circles with a counter-clockwise motion ~ Plant imagery and usage | Many plants are associated with protection, but some are white sage, rosemary, bay leaves, juniper, and black pepper ~ Animal imagery | Some UPG I have is owls, bulls, vultures, crows, fish, horses, peacocks and doves ~ Lights | Colored lights work too, such as LED, fake candles, nightlights, kitchen lights, bedroom lights, etc. ~ Drawing shapes | Any shape works, but shapes you associate with protection works best--or a shield ~ Thanking anyone who has protected you | It doesn't have to be to their face, and it can be mortals or entities ~ Creating a physical barrier | Not exactly physical--making a light, where the light reaches is your shield, or music, and where the sound touches is your ward ~ Listening to songs | Any songs work, but protection-associated songs work. Some UPG I have is 'We'll Be Fine', 'What It Sounds Like' and 'Gladiators' ~ Affirmations | As you exit your house or room, whisper 'I am protected', in the morning, whisper 'no hostility is welcome here'

Hi all you lovely people! This past week I had someone ask how to take down a shield. So I wanted to talk a little bit about the subject. There are a few different reasons that you may want to take down a shield, including: the shield was meant for temporary use only, you are having an energy reading done, the shield is failing for one reason or another so you need to re-make it, etc.

As far as actually taking down the shield, in my practice I visualize the shield slowly dissipating around me and it’s energy returning to its source. I may also chant something simple like:

“Shield of mine

You’ve done your time

Rest now my friend

Until I call you again.”

Then I continue visualizing and chanting until the shield is fully down.
