By the powers of earth, sky, star, and sea;

Such is my will, So mote it be!

Compose an altar: place a censer in the center before an image of

the Goddess. Have a twelve-inch (or so) round mirror there as well.

Ring the altar with nine white candles. Burn a protective incense

(such as sandalwood, frankincense, copal or rosemary) in the censer.

Beginning with the candle most directly before the Goddess image,

say these or similar words:



Lunar light protect me!



Repeat as you light each candle until all are glowing.

Now, holding the mirror, invoke the Goddess in her lunar aspect

with these or similar words:



Great Goddess of the Lunar Light

and Mistress of the Seas;

Great Goddess of the Mystic Night

and of the Mysteries;

Within this place of candles bright

and with Your mirror nigh;

Protect me with Your awesome might

while ill vibrations fly!



Standing before the altar, hold the mirror facing the candles so

that it reflects their flames. Keeping the mirror toward the candles,

move slowly, clockwise, around the altar, watching the reflected

firelight bouncing off your surroundings.



Gradually increase your speed, mentally invoking the Goddess to

protect you. Move faster and faster; watch the light shattering the

air, cleansing it, burning away all negativity and all lines along

witch the ill energies have traveled into your home.



Charge your home with the protective light of the Goddess. Race

around the candles until you've felt the atmosphere change, until you

feel that your home has been cleansed and guarded by the Great

Goddess.



When finished, stand once again before the image. Thank the

Goddess in any words you wish. Pinch out the candles one by one, bind

them together with white cord and store them in a safe place until

(and if) you need to use them again for this same purpose.

Get a cup of warm milk, some chamomile tea, or another sleep-inducing warm drink. Sit down in your most comfortable space. Make the sign of a spiral from the outer edge inward over the cup, and recite:







All is well,



moonlight beams.



Sleep arrives



with pleasant dreams.







Drink the warm drink slowly, taking at least five minutes. Think about pleasant things while you drink it. Listen to calming music, or look at something beautiful. Then go to bed immediately. Once you are in bed, continue to think only pleasant, restful thoughts. Do this every night for a week-even if it doesn't work well the first night or two.

Here's a simple safety and protection meditation. This visualization can be used around people, pets, homes, cars, airplanes, and around anything you want to protect. After doing this a few times, you will not need the candles. You will be able to visualize the ball of white light at any time and any place. If you wish to protect a loved one and you have a photo of them, place it between the candles for the meditation. (Don't let it catch fire!)







You may cast a circle if you like, but it is not necessary.



Light white candles for protection.







Begin the meditation:





Sit down and get comfortable. Relax. Breathe slow and deep. Let all tension flow into the earth. Feel calm and peaceful. You are completely relaxed. Now visualize a beautiful white light all around you, like a bubble. It shimmers and sparkles. Now make it stronger, and then make it shine brighter. Make it grow until it fills the room you are in. Fill the bubble with love. Know that it will protect you where ever you go.







To protect a loved one:







Now picture your loved one. See a glowing light all around them. It is just like the bubble you are in. It glows with safety and protection. Make it stronger, bigger, brighter. Visualize this as long as you like. When you are done, wish your loved one well and know that they are safe.







Now prepare to end the meditation. Feel your circle of light bring you back to the present moment and the room you are in. Take a deep breath and stretch for a moment before you get up.







Let the candles burn as long as you like, then snuff them out. You may light them at any time you wish to strengthen the visualization and protection.
