Let’s Talk Witch – Shielding
The objective of shielding is to provide you with a layer of protection from unwanted negative energy. It can be counter-productive energy, draining energy, or even dangerous magickal energy directed towards you. You can perform shielding to protect a person or a place such as your bed or your vehicle when you’re inside it.
a)The Sphere of Light
To do this type of shielding, you are to visualize a three dimensional sphere of light. You are cocooned within that sphere of light. When you move, it moves with you.
If you wish to form a shield that would allow you to send energy as well, create a porous sphere. Similar to the grounding technique, envision that shield absorbing all the negative energy. Then, observe in your mind’s eye as that energy flows back into the earth along with the one that you release.
b)The Brick Shield
To perform this kind of shielding conjure happy memories and positive images. Each picture, each memory, is a brick.
Envision these memory and image bricks going on top of the other.
Keep on conjuring good thoughts until you are able to build a wall. When you build a brick wall, make sure that it surrounds you on all sides, including the top and the bottom.
An important note: You must never make use of negative emotions to build a brick wall. It might seem easier, but the wall is more likely to crumble. The thing about creating bricks from negative emotions is that others sense them. Someone else can pick up on your negative mental images, augment them and send them back to you. This will result to intense feelings of self-directed disgust.
Also, keep in mind that compared to the Sphere of Light, the Brick Shield demands more time and energy. However, it is also more effective.
