This time of year by far is more unknown with things now lurking within the extended length of night increasing with each passing day until the time of Winter Solstice.

It can be a solemn time reflecting death and rebirth as much of the natural world within a northern seasonal climate will hibernate by drawing deep within itself. While those species which do not hibernate may find itself tested by the harshness of the season which also will separate the strong from the weak in further assuring a breeds survival.

Late fall and winter can also be a time of desolate beauty with its barren trees and majestic starry night filled skies while nothing remains to prevent even the slightest breeze from frolicking to and fro across a now naked landscape.

In olden days your wood supply would have been at its peak while your gardens bounty would now be stored away for gradual consumption through what once was known as leaner times.

Magick had likewise abounded during the darker cold months as such weather would draw people closer to the hearths fire in sharing tales and knowledge while raising spirits and keeping warm.

The presence of spirits is felt more this time of year as many more people stay indoors for both warmth and protection along with the fact that fewer now can afford to spend any additional money for entertainment.

It is wise for everyone to protect themselves and their home against an unintentional invasion by what may be hostile entities and spirits seeking out an unprotected habitation for which to claim as its own.

Call in the Ghost Busters or some other paranormal group offering to cleanse and bless your home against spiritual marauders?

Well not unless you’re stupid and like the idea of permitting strangers into your home which might bring in other elements such as diseases or worse within the sanctity of your home and family when you can conduct your own blessing all by yourself.

Remember, it’s your home, and nobody knows your home better than you do.

First you will need a light weight deep bowl. Some table salt. A pinch or two of your favorite dried flowers or herbs. Should you have any favorite scented oil a couple drops of that would be also good.

Now, first you add two of your fingers thickness of water to the bowl.

Add a pinch or two of whatever salt you have handy.

Add a pinch or two of your favorite dried flower or herb or both.

Add two drops of your favorite scented oil should any such exist.

At this point you must think of a prayer you would like to use in protecting your home. It can either be well known like the Lords Prayer. Or any other prayer you may happen to like. Or even one you can make up yourself.

Remember what is most important is intent. Because if you don’t feel it then it may not contain the potency you require.

Now as you begin reciting your prayer, stir the mixture slowly clockwise 13 times with the index finger of whichever hand you use the most meaning if you’re right or left handed.

Should you be ambidextrous don’t be a smart ass and just pick a damn finger!

Once done you will then wet the palm of your hand and press it against all four sides inside your home including any second floor which will create a shield against spiritual intruders on every level of your home.

Nothing guaranteed results may vary

But compared to doing nothing just take a look at our image representing some of what is floating around outside this very minute which may or may not be harboring the best intentions.

When anyone performs spell work and especially outdoors there is always the risk of attracting spiritual elements because of the forces which are being utilized. Now many of your wannabe mighty magick users think magick circle and poof send them packing back to the gates of hell.

Actually it’s much more complex than that and requires a hell of a lot of discipline that many are just too lazy to consider.

But when you’re performing magick of any kind any spirit be it light or night will come to investigate like a shark in the ocean which means you better be powerful and be ready for anything even if it means you might not come back out alive.

Hostile spirits are a fact of magickal life and like any other spirit will require experience to contain and control or else it will do so to you. And this is why it is wise to take precautions in protecting your home and loved ones from such forces.

Because when dealing with the paranormal it is always best to be prepared.
