Shield of Light: A Simple Protection Spell

Ingredients:

A white candle

A small piece of clear quartz or black tourmaline

A pinch of sea salt

A small bowl or dish

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

 Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus without distractions. 

Set up your altar or sacred space with your materials.

2. Grounding and Centering

Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment

Visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet, anchoring you to the Earth

Feel your energy centering and aligning with your intentions

3. Candle Preparation

Light the white candle

Hold the quartz or black tourmaline in your hand, infusing it with your intention of protection

4. Casting the Circle

Using the small bowl or dish, create a circle around the candle with a pinch of sea salt, moving clockwise.

As you sprinkle the salt, envision a shimmering barrier forming, shielding, and protecting you from all negativity.

5. Invocation

Call upon the divine or any deity or spirit guide you feel connected to for protection. You can use your own words or try the following:  "I call upon the divine light and protection, Surround me with a shield, strong and true. Guard me against harm, negativity, and deception, May only love and light pass through.“

6. Charging the Crystal

Hold the crystal in your hands and visualize it filling with radiant, protective energy.

State your intention clearly, such as, "This crystal is charged to shield me from all harm and negativity.”

7. Activating the Shield

With the charged crystal in hand, pass it over the flame of the candle, visualizing the flame igniting a powerful, protective light.

As you do this, repeat your intention of protection, reinforcing the shield’s strength.

8. Closing the Ritual

Express gratitude to the divine or any entities you called upon for their protection and assistance.

Extinguish the candle, knowing that the shield of light remains active and present.

9. Maintenance 

Keep the crystal with you, carrying it as a talisman or placing it in a safe and sacred space.

Repeat this spell as needed, especially during times when you feel particularly vulnerable or when facing challenging situations.

Remember, the most powerful protection comes from within. This spell serves as a tool to focus your intentions and amplify your energy, but it’s crucial to cultivate a mindset of self-awareness, discernment, and personal responsibility in maintaining your well-being and protection.

NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone
