When I was a little kid (under 10 years old), I used to visualize purple shields at Catholic Masses I was forced to go to. Those were probably some of the most sinister gatherings I ever went to in my life lol.
That sort of worked, honestly.
While Iām by no means any expert, Iāve been playing around with quite a bit of protection magick the past two, almost 3, months⦠something horrible happened, and I wanted to prevent more of the same.
I have little kids, and I wanted to avoid suicide, especially (suicide is contagious ā very bad example)
For whatever reason, angels seem to be banishers and protectors du jour. Even many practioners of dark magick seem to use them. So be aware this is an angel post.
Although Iād prefer this wasnāt so, as this author is already very popular (so it seems almost redundant to mention his work), what I can say is that the simple ābasic callingā in āArchangels of Magickā (which replaces the LBRP) as well as the Sword Banishing in Damon Brandās āProtection Magickā are extraordinarily powerful. Fast, too.
The Sword Banishing maybe takes 30 seconds when youāre used to it, and itās really rather fun. You visualize Kalach and Yohach with mighty swords made of starlight. Itās kind of fun, honestly! I also see them with eyes of intense starlight. I mean, why not! Lol
I also started the āMaster Protection Ritualā in the Protection Magick book about 10 days ago. It was VERY odd at first. Lots of incredibly bad feelings the first few days or so.
I didnāt know if it was messing me up directly, or there was just pain leaving, or whatā¦.
Now 10, 11 days in, I feel more free than I have in many months. It uses 12 genius spirits to grant you various types of power and protection, and does seem to work! (You keep doing the working for 33 days)
I also rather like the Body of Protection ritual from Ben Woodcroft. Itās just sort of pleasant and interesting. I donāt know if it actually does much, per se. Benās āCircle Banishingā is also quite nice. These could be better for all I know. Certainly worth a try.
I also saw someone else rave about Damon Brandās āProtection against influenceā ritual recently, basically saying it transformed their life in some way. That it was a real key they were looking for. I wish I could remember who it is.
This is also in the same book āMagickal Protectionā. Itās right in the back. Iāll be trying this next.
Sometimes I even just read the list of 11 archangels in the front of the book (in the activation part youāre supposed to do just once), and thank them for protection. Thatās not a recommended technique in the book, but it actually helps, too. A lot. All of the archangels seem to have something to add when it comes to protecting you.
Again, I wish I had some obscure author or technique to recommendā¦. But interestingly, for protection these very quick and easy rituals do seem to have some mighty oomph to them! Highly recommended.
