Here is what you'll need:
- white cloth (enough to make a
small pouch)
- 1 white "virgin" candle (a new candle
that has not been used)
- Mistletoe
- Mugwort
- Sweetgrass
- Sage
Make a small pouch, sew three sides together
and leave one side open (this is where you will
stuff the herbs/plants). Chant the following, while
filling the pouch with the herbs/plants:
May the Sacred Divine
Keep safe me and mine
May the Lady of the Moon
Attend my rite in moment's soon
May the Lord of the Sky
Attend my rite in a moment's sigh
May the Watchtowers of the East, South,
West and North
Attend my rite and let their protective
powers spill forth
May the Old One's who have gone before
Attend my rite forevermore
Hear my humble plea
I ask for your protection, please send it to me!
Keep chanting this till the pouch is
filled the Mistletoe, Mugwort, Sweetgrass and
Sage. Once filled, sew the fourth side of the
pouch shut, while still chanting. Place the
pouch on the alter, light the white candle.
"Smudge" the pouch through protective incense,
visualize the protection radiating from the pouch.
Keep chanting until you feel the peek of power and
release the energies into the universe. Remember
to strongly visualize while chanting. Let the candle
burn itself out, make sure it is in a safe place and
won't get tipped over.
Smudge yourself with sage or sweetgrass
before you go to bed and when you first wake
up. Smudge each morning and evening. Depending
on the size of pouch that you made, if it is
small enough it can be carried on you, in a
shirt pocket for example. The pouch can also
be placed within your vehicle for added
protection while travelling. If this pouch
is made by/for a woman, remember to inform them
not to carry the pouch if they are on their
"Moon Time," this is because of the Sweetgrass
that is within the pouch. This is due to the
cleansing process the woman is going through.
