Circle of Protection

Make a circle of salt. Stand inside the circle with a white candle. Gaze into the flame of the candle.

Concentrate and imagine fire all around you with glowing.

Protective light. Now speak these words in a chant:
 
“Craft this spell
Into the fire
Craft this spell well
I weave it high
I weave it now
I speak to this simmering flame
None shall ever come
To hurt me or maim
No one shall ever pass
This fiery wall
None shall pass
No one at all!”

Repeat these three times then blow out the candle and step out of the circle of salt.
