About the Course
Do You Need Spiritual Protection?
The ability to protect yourself is a much-needed skill in today's world. The world is a dangerous place, after all. We are warned about things like stranger danger, electric sockets, and traffic when we are children. When we are adults, we have to worry about backstabbers in the workplace, gossipers in friendships, and someone spiking our drinks at the local bar. There are any number of conditions, situations, and circumstances that everyone should be cognizant of in order to stay safe in today's world. That said, the conjurer, witch, and occult practitioner in general, has to be aware of the magical and spiritual realm where attacks are commonplace, especially by rivals, competitors, and psychic vampires. That means we have more than one world to navigate and stay safe in.
To fight any battle, we must be clear about our enemy. Who or what are we defending ourselves from? is it a person? An entity? A pissed off ghost? The result of breaking a taboo or a vow? Or are we experiencing fallout from someone else's mess? When this is known, we can tailor our response appropriately.
If we are doing simple maintenance protections, it is preventative magick. We don't have to worry about binding entities or meeting potential enemies with like destruction. We put protections in place to avoid problems with negative energies in the first place. We can burn a protection candle, bury a few railroad spikes, anoint windows and doors, or set a Devil Trap to spiritually fortify our homes and spaces.
Even with the best protection plan, sometimes we are blindsided by a situation that calls for action. That's why we offer this course. To teach you to assess your threat level and develop a plan of action to fortify and protect your home, self, family, and community.
