do I need a protection ritual before?

You should have protections up as a basic matter of course - they’re not just for entities they’re also human interjects, random astral crap and wildlife and making a clean space to work in.

You clean your kitchen before you cook in it, right? If you don’t you could get sick from germs - same thing, you clean your ritual space and sleeping space, at a minimum, before you work or sleep. As sleeping is also working.

This woman giving you fear is an example of a human parasite who should not be getting through your shields to affect you this way.

I think I gave you this ink before, it’s so important and you seem to be forgetting about it - pay attention now.

Unofficial Tutorials: Spiritual Hygiene & Defense Collection

Assumed to be so basic no one talks about it until beginners get a problem and wonder why, and six people say “cleanse and banish, set up wards, take care of your spiritual hygiene”. This megathread collects our favourite cleaning, banishing and self protection preventative techniques. Some are fix and forget/maintain occasionally, like wards, some are for on the spot emergency use. My top book recommendation for this work has to be Robert Bruce’s The Practical Psychic Self-Defense Handbook: A Survival Guide. (This one is a basic that is worth knowing for all mages, really)… click the image for it’s Amazon listing: [image] Please feel free to link other forum posts that helped you!
