DISCUSSION: Shielding Basics

[blue_moon]

I've been searching for Shielding techniques, tools and ingredients and - it might be my head beeing full of everything and my bussy week - I'm having trouble finding something/the right thing.
I used Fluorite to neutralize the feeling of being overwelmed and no chance of handling the negative feeling.

This week I hope to reactivate my home protection.

Thankful for any Shielding input

Hi Blue

I'm a bit confused. Are you wanting to shield yourself, or your home?

[Jenny Crow]

Well, if you're asking about protecting your home there are all kinds of spells and things you can do. You can put pentacles at each window and door (you can draw them or use actual pentacles like those used for pendants). You can put red brick dust around your house. You can sprinkle protection powder in every room of your house. Remember to cleanse the house first though and then put the protection in place

I really enjoy making witches bottles for house protection. Not really shielding, but I have 4 buried around my house. You could try that.

I used to raise an energy shield around the house every time I left, but it was draining my energy too fast.
I believe burying mirrors around your house to reflect bad energy sent your way could also work.

In addition to the other suggestions here, you can use sage to purify your house, and you can use sea salt for protection. You can also set an energy shield around the house, which is what I do.

It's actually more shielding (sorry for the confusion) - I also do house protection because I hope to shield myself that way as well.

Funny thing - WiccanWitchs' post was more what I needed.
I have about the same problem - being affected by (negative) energies and really having problems getting myself balanced again.

I protect my home - to be shielded inside (at least).

Hi Blue Moon-this recent thread evolved into a good shielding conversation with some great input by the community.

I really love this idea for home protection. Do you happen to know if we have any post on making these? For some reason, my search engine for the forum is MIA... But I am also still learning how to use this computer...

[YanaKhan]

Yeah, I remember seeing a couple.

Wonderful, thank you!

Thank you, Becks!
Remember trying to read into that post but never got past the first answer...

As we strive to live an exemplarily life of one who commands significant magickal prowess shielding becomes a constant force surrounding us. An aura of inner peace and affinity with Spirit along with moderation in all aspects of our life creates positive energies, protective shielding and radiant health. Very little of our magick springs from personal power, we are the switch but the real energies flow from the Cosmos and the Spirit realm. It is well to have frequent communion and constant affinity with our Spirit guide (God/Goddess). If we go far we do not walk alone.
