Protest Protection Spell

I've been seeing a lot of binding and swift justice spells floating around, and I myself have done a few to try and alleviate the current political and human climate. Something that I haven't seen a lot of are protection spells so I thought I might share the one that I've been doing.

It's important at a time like this that we use our magick to help in whatever way we can. And beyond that, it's important we stay informed, share truthful information, and learn as much as we can.

Tools:

• Cauldron

• Black Candle

• Three White Candles

• Pen and Paper

• Almond Oil

• Small Jar

• Mugwort Incense

• Mugwort

• Frankincense

• Lavender

• Catnip

• Calendula

• Basil

Spell:

After casting a circle, light mugwort incense and bathe all candles and tools in the smoke. Then light the black candle while saying:

I light this candle for protection, for protection of the individuals standing up against injustice.

Using the black candle, light the first white candle while saying:

I light this candle for protection, for protection of the protesters' bodies. May they be physically safe and unharmed.

Continue onto the next white candle and say:

I light this candle for protection, for protection of the protesters' minds. May they continue to choose to and convince others to stand for what is right.

Finally light the third white candle and say:

I light this candle for protection, for protection of the protesters' spirits. May they continue to be on fire for equality and justice. May they refuse to feel broken or caged.

Place the black candle in the middle of all three white candles.

Mix three pinches of mugwort with a pour of almond oil in the jar.

On a piece of paper, write the names of the individuals who you know are protesting. If you don't know anyone, then skip this step.

On the back of the paper, write:

Hecate, come and hear our plea

Bring swift justice and peace throughout our country.

Protect the ones who exercise their rights

To stand up to racism, oppression, and violence, who choose to fight.

By my will, so mote it be

Three times three times three.

I personally like to double down whenever I write down an incantation. My spirit guides tend to work through fire, so I often write another, similar incantation, or the same one, to burn in my cauldron.

But with this first writing, fold it a few times, and place in the jar with the mugwort and almond oil. Seal the jar and shake it, while envisioning the protesters moving safely and powerfully throughout the city.

Now light your cauldron and sprinkle in the frankincense, for protection and prosperity. Add a few pinches of lavender to boost self-reliance. Also add a bit of catnip to promote clear communication. Add the calendula to promote a love for others. Finally, add the basil for release. Really focus on why you're adding each of these elements. Take time to focus on the energy it hums with, as you hold it in your hand. Watch the smoke carry this energy into the air around you and out into the world.

After letting the herbs in your cauldron burn down, close the circle. If you can, allow the three candles to burn down and out on their own. Place the jar with the mixture somewhere safe; where you might keep something that you hold very precious- in your sock drawer, under your bed, in the corner of your closet. Again, anywhere that you feel would be a safe place.
