Matches Candle holder 4 obsidian arrowheads (obsidian, onyx, or apache tears stones may be substituted if you do not have the arrowheads).
Also, gather together any ritual items you feel necessary.
Next, cast your circle.. In the center of your circle, facing North, take the obsidian arrowheads (or stones) into your hand. Charge them with protective powers and place them around the candle holder, one in the North, one in the East, one in the South, and one in the West.
Next, take the candle and inscribe a pentagram on it (which is among other
things a symbol for protection), along with your name, or the name of the
person you wish protection for from the grief and sorrow. Now anoint the candle with your oil, while concentrating strongly on your need for protection.

You may wish to continue the visualization, or use whatever techniques you wish to send the energy out from you. When you are ready, close the circle and allow the candle to burn down completely. It is finished.
