CIRCLE OF FIRE - PROTECTION


Have you ever been momentarily overwhelmed by a
feeling of hopelessness? Heed the warning and look
to your enemies. A strong possibility exists that
you have been ill-wished, "overlooked" as the
elders would say. Witches are commonly blamed for
casting evil spells, but in truth very few indeed
care to risk a Three-Fold Return. This conviction
that a curse sent forth will return thrice to haunt
you is a doctrine bred in the bone and one as old
as the craft itself.

Keep in mind that psychic attack is often the work
of an amateur with latent power enlivened by envy
or rage. Hate is a strong motivation and a sharp
weapon. However, a malevolent thrust from the mind
of a novice is over in a flash. An untrained will
cannot sustain the proper degree of concentration
needed to do real harm. Nonetheless, it is only
wise to identify the perpetrator and protect
yourself from further negativity.

Visit the ocean (or any free-flowing body of water)
to fortify confidence with an ancient Irish pagan
prayer.

     I bind to myself this day
     The swiftness of the wind,
     The power of the sea,
     The hardness of the rocks,
     The endurance of the earth.

Cense the air of your home to purify the space and
comfort the spirit under siege. Frankincense and
myrrh are incenses notable for driving away the
forces of evil intent.

Of all the earth's herbal gifts, none affords more
effective protection than rue, the "herb of grace".
Hang a fresh bunch over your doorway and carry a
dried sprig to shield against harm from the ill-
wisher.

One of the simplest means to defeat psychic attack
is the Circle of Fire.

In privacy and complete darkness, light a candle.
Take a deep breath and stand as tall as you can.
Face east and raise the candle high above your head
for a moment. Bring the flame down to eye-level and
hold it there while you turn slowly deosil three
times. Concentrate your full attention on the blue
of the flame as you rotate in place. Raising the
candle high again, salute the east as you complete
the final circle. This erects a barrier through
which no evil thought can pass.
