#textile magic

Do your cleansing, & DEFINITELY do you grounding, & centering. This is an energy intensive process. Please note that the colors, directions, & instructions I started with aren’t set in stone. If you want to change the words/colors or start your weft going east to west/etc., you can. This is just what I did.

Outline: First phase: delineate boundaries, evocation(s) & creation of threads Second phase: making your weft Third phase: weaving your warp Fourth phase: closing the spell

Each part has one to three incantations a piece.

1: delineation, evocation(s) & creation of threads Delineation: imagine a golden bubble surrounding your property, above & below, following your property line. Say:

from property line to property line From rooftop to foundation I claim this place as mine.

Optional deity evocation: As you recite the evocation to each/any God, visualize the bubble changing to Their main color(s) as you say Their bit. For me that was deep blue & then red.

earth evocation: visualize the (possibly squarish) bubble glowing a glittery black when you envoke the earth. I beseech the glorious earth, Who humankind has revered under many names,  And to whom we all belong, Who graciously allows us to live on Hir surface, I ask that Hir, in Hir mighty majesty & unmatched power, please lend me Hir aid, And to protect & look kindly upon us. Please heed my request.

I gave a libation of water but you do you.

Pick a corner of your property (I selected the south east, so we’ll use that as the starting point reference for the rest of the post). Kneel & touch the ground first with your right palm, visualizing your energy anchoring itself  into the earth. Color the energy red & make it fierce & protective. Place your left palm on the ground & visualize your energy anchoring itself into the earth. Color it green, & make it happy & vibrant. Raise your hands one at a time, drawing up the energies from the ground as you do so. Visualize the energy as thick “threads”, which also are spinning ambient energy into themselves & pulling more from the earth as you lift up.

***this is very very important! You must be visualizing them spinning ambient magic & earth into themselves the entire time you are building this ward! This is what makes them able to stay up & almost maintainance free *** if you’re using anchor stones, visualize the energy you’re drawing up threading itself through the anchor.

Stand, wrapping your fist around each lead like a bolt, & turn around to face north.

Say: I will weave a ward from both of you, Each with your own purpose. But together & combined you will work To follow the instructions I give you.

2: creating your weft: this has two sections, a set made of red & one made of green.

Red weft: Visualize the red strand extending from your fist, spinning over your space toward the north side of your boundary. Feel your intention running through you & into the thread. When it reaches the ground on the other side of your boundary, visualize it following the curve of the bubble underground & spinning energy from the earth into itself.

Say the following when you begin & each time the red thread erupts from the ground (or as often as you feel necessary): Benevolent or indifferent permanent residents & spirits I have given my verbal blessing to May come and go as they please, But no entity or being That wishes to harm, frighten, or steal from us Can ever find or enter our property. This includes The living or the dead The corporeal or the spirits. They are unwelcome.

Repeat this every time you pull the lead up out of the ground, or as often as you feel necessary. Make sure you leave enough from between the red threads for the green ones & again, it must be spinning ambient/earth energy into itself at all times. After the thread has reached the north west corner, you can visualize it threading through an anchor stone if you want to use them. Visualize the red lead running underground & pull it up into your fist again.

Green weft: Hold it & begin your green weft in the same direction as the red. Visualize it going into the earth & coming up in the spaces you left in your red weft. Recite the second set of instructions as you go in the same way you did the first:

This home is safe, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous, For all the living & spirits alike Who reside inside it.

Return the green lead to your fist as you did with the red one when it has reached the north west corner/ anchor stone. Energetically, you should be seeing/visualizing a wall of alternating red & green threads going in the same direction, south to north. This is your completed weft, which should be solid with no gaps & only a little give.

Third quarter: the warp Walk over to south west corner of your property. Visualize both threads rising up out of the ground & winding around your fists as you go. Put your back to the corner.

Recite the red & green incantations in a second set, like you did before, as you weave the “fabric” of the ward. Start running them horizontally toward the south & visualize them turning or curving as necessary to stay in the weft. When they’ve finished in the south east corner, run them underground to meet you & pull up ‘em into your fists again. Walk back to the starting (south east) corner, pulling up the excess up from ground & let it un-spin as you go into a balls of energy in your fists. Check for holes again & adjust as needed. It should look fabric (that is, again, pulling ambient/earth energy into itself).

4: closing the spell

When you’re satisfied, put your fists (and the tails/balls of energy you are holding) into the energy stream they emerged from & meld them together, letting the banks of energy melt away into the stream. Visualize the two them as a completed electrical circut & the weave as totally solid. Before taking your hands out, recite this last incantation.

The ward I wove you into Is strong & draws its power from the mighty earth, From ambient magic, And from any invited spirit Or permanent resident Who wishes to contribute To the safety & prosperity of all who live inside it. Together you are flexible enough to remain whole Under both the strongest And sharpest of blows. Together you are durable enough to Remain strong and whole  no matter how many times I bend & open you. You will not fray & break. Together you form a completed circut, & you will regulate the power inside yourselves, Self healing & never allowing yourselves to be overwhelmed by friend or foe. Together you will obey my will, and remain active until I release you. FIAT

use a burst of your own energy to seal the energy streams. Ta da! You’re done & now don’t really have to do anything except check the weave & maybe feed it occasionally.
