Greetings and salutations one and all,
This month I thought I would bring to you some entertaining and
effective
shielding techniques for those of you who might be traveling
throughout the
summer…
This first one is quite simple and uses a device-type shield. Meaning it
uses
something to symbolize the protection surrounding you during your
travels.
Now a while back I posted a protective device using crystal or glass
spheres…
This one is based on that principle.
Take a crystal or glass sphere approximately 3 inches in diameter
(hollow
Christmas ornamental sphere work well for this as long as they are
clear in
nature… They can be found at any hobby shop) place a photo of the
person or
persons to be shielded on the inside of the hollow sphere. Or, if
you are using
a solid crystal sphere, secure the picture to the back side of
the crystal
(picture side facing into the crystal sphere).
Place the sphere on a map of the desired travel route (both destinations
to
and from) and place this in an area that will not be disturbed during the
length of time you are away from your home…
Ok… Here is another.
Get a map of your desired travel route and draw a path in RED marker
from
Point A to Point B, visualizing safe and secure travel along the way…
Place
a small piece of quartz crystal, carnelian, garnet or rock salt on the
area
indicating your home town (departing and returning to) and the
destination spot… Equally along the route place a bit of your
chosen
earth element between the departing/returning point and the
destination spot…
And yet another…
Find a little red pouch, the kind some make up comes in, or the kind
you
can carry a stone or two in… Mark a protective symbol on it (use your
favorite
one, if you cannot find one check some of the magick books in the
Llewellyn series of books… They have some nice ones there). I tend to use
a square that is quartered by arrows pointing to each direction
(North,
South, East and West) as if the square were a miniature map.
Into this place a garnet, rock salt, and seaweed. Each of these items
represent a positive protective energy… Seal the bag… Carry this bag,
either on your person or near your person during your travels…
On journeys to new places, I have been known to make more than one of these
bags and keep it in various areas, such as my hotel room, my car, my
luggage… I do tend lose things from time to time, so I like to cover my
basics *smiles bashfully*
And finally… This one being one of my favorite shielding techniques, is
also
purely visualization… Once set up, you need do little more
than
think of it from time to time to 'recharge and refresh' it…
In a quiet room of your home, place four candles along the walls at the
base
boards at each of the directional points (N, S, E, W) and a
quartz
crystal hanging above the center of the room… Make sure that the
room is dark
for the next step…
Light the candles (no particular order is needed for this). Situate yourself
comfortably in the center of the room (standing) so that when you look up
into the crystal you can see the light reflected and refracted from the
candles…
You are now surrounded in a pyramid of light… A very powerful and ancient
symbol… Allow this to protect you. See it as your protection… Know it
will
shield you as you travel…
Well, that's all from me for now… I hope that you find some if not all of
this
article useful in your summertime travels, and any other travels, you
may
undertake…
Vitae Dominae
