Protection Ritual - Simple #2 Protection Ritual - Drawing Off Negativity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preparations Go out into the woods, find a few pieces of wood. Properly thank the tree. You will need as many pieces of wood as there are entries to your room or house, or whatever area it is you wish to protect. Ritual Bring the wood to your altar. Light a white candle. Sprinkle the wood with lavendar oil. Say "wood is of a shield. please protect my home" Concentrate on protection and pour this energy into the wood. When you sense the wood is pulsing with the shielding energy, take it up, and place it around your house, near all entrances, and then return to your altar. See the shield around your house. Say a prayer of thanks to the wood, and the Lady for enabling this. Re-do this when the wood no longer smells of lavendar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This ritual should be done after the area to be protected has been cleansed and purified in some fashion.
