8/17/2006 - Protective Shields

Making shileds as they are called are a pretty basic use of magick, and relitively easy, though the better and more confidaunt you are the stronger and more potent your shileds will come. A protective shields are pretty self explinatory. They are shileds made of energy which you surround your body to grant it protection. The basic way to make a shiled is to close your eyes and visulize the energy surrounding your body and keeping negeitive eneregy and bad things out and from penetrating the shield. For a standard shield I usually visualize a whitesih blue energy surrouniding my body.

A basic and genreal protection shiled is used to keep out negetive energy in genreal and ward off possible negeitive and hostile entities or to protect against negeitive thoughts another person might be projecting against you. They can also defelct any spells which someone might cast against you.

More advanced and complex shields can be made aimed at specific things, a shield can be used for a wide range of different things. For instance if you fear you are becomming victim or are around an Emotional Vampire, or what is known as a PSI Vampire which feeds off energy, you can create a shield to protect you from drawing from you. Also if you are highly empathic a shiled might keep you from being plauged too much by the emotions you unkowningly draw and pick up from others. Shileds can be desined to specifily to protect your mind and thoughts if you think someone is trying to get inside your head and probing you with thier energy.

You can also use shields to protect those that are close to you. This is done the same way basicly as creating a shield for yourself. You visulize the person, or animal (I put shileds around my pets) that you want to protect and then visulize the protective energy flowing around them.

If you are new to using shields or just tyring it for the first time, then from the use of the energy in creating the shield you might feel a bit light headed after it is done. Usually if you just rest a few moments your energy is restored and you will feel normal again.

You can also check upon your shiled if you think it might be fading or weaking, or if you think soemone or something has tried to penetrate it. You can do this just by visulization again, visulize your shiled and with your mind search it for any holes or weak spots, if any are found the shiled can be strethend by adding extra energy to the places where it is needed.
