Protection - keeping yourself safe from harm
-------------------------------------------------------

This spell is most effective when done a day after the full moon. Take a piece of silk, some silk thread (if available) in green or pink, some herbs of the following kind (but you don't need all): Juniper, Mugwort, Rosemary, Basil, Horehound, Trefoil, St. John's Wort, Vervain, Mandrake and one acorn or a twig of oak or a twig or rowan

Prepare you room or space for this protective working. If this is to be personal, the amount of herbs need only be small but preparation more extensive. If this is to protect a house, boat, car, etc. then more herbs are needed and a further ritual but quick and benign looking ritual needs to be performed.

Personal - Prepare your altar. Draw a bath to the temperature you prefer. In this bath, use some purification, exorcism or dragon's blood bath salts. While you bathe, feel the protection water gives begin to seep into yourself. Then feel the protection earth gives through the salts seep into your very bones. When finished the bath, dry yourself and anoint yourself with some oil containing rosemary, geranium, or frankincense.

Light a charcoal briquette and burn as incense some frankincense, myrrh, or dragon's blood. While the smoke curls, create the sachet! Place the herbs in the cloth and sew the sides together as best as you can to prevent the substance leaking. Now while you sew it together, chant out loud or silently "I bind this charm to protect me well". Once done, face each direction and say "Element of the empower my charm to protect me against all harm." Then when you return to the east say "I have created this charm to protect me against all harm. It's power has been created and now let it's work be done.". Now keep this charm on you at all times!

Binding Spell to Prevent Abuse
Submitted by Amber Shephard
-------------------------------------------------------

Binding
The purpose of this spell is to rid yourself of the negative energies of someone who is mentally or emotionally abusing you. If done properly, it will not harm the object of the spell nor will it affect his or her daily life in any way. It will simply make the person powerless to mentally or emotionally harm you.

Materials:
small cloth doll,
leave the head unstitched until you are ready to begin the ritual
needle and thread
some personal item from the person you want to bind (nail clippings, hair, hand writing sample)
black ribbon
black candle
cauldron or other fireproof container
sterilized needle
piece of paper and pen
one candle at each quarter (optional)

Ritual:
call the quarters - i like to use candles at each quarter to form a circle of fire for extra protection. Light the black candle concentrating deeply on the person you are binding, place the personal object inside the head of the doll and sew it shut. Tie the black ribbon around the poppet's head, signifying the binding of that person.

''With harm to none, my will be done
i hereby bind you (name of person)
your words cannot harm me
your thoughts cannot harm me
you cannot harm me''
continue chanting this or something like it until you feel power surging through you. Visualize the person helpless to slander or verbally and mentally abuse you while you are chanting.

Now, to bind the spell - if you have a sigil or a craft name, sign it on the small piece of paper. If not, sign your own full name. If others are working the ritual with you, they too should sign the paper. With the sterilized needle, prick one of your fingers and put a small drop of blood over your signature. Again, if others are working with you, they should place a drop of blood over their signatures. (using a different needle, of course) fold the paper, light it on fire and drop it into the cauldron (which should be on a heat-proof surface!).

Meditate on the flames until the paper completely burns away. If you are working with a group, join hands at this point and feel the power surging around the circle as the spell is bound.

Ground and center release the circle.
Thank the goddess and god for their protection and power bury the doll as far away from you as possible within the next few days
