Draconic Protection Ritual

Copyrighted Kerowyn J'Karrah SilverDrake, 1994

This ritual is to be used when someone has decided (unjustly) to make your life miserable. For example if someone at work has decided they want *your* job and starts spreading malicious rumors, or if someone at school is talking about you behind your back, etc.

The purpose of this ritual is to confound their ability to cause you injury or distress. This ritual is *NOT* intended to substitute for taking sound legal action if you are being physically threatened, bullied, stalked, or otherwise harassed. It can *help* dealing with these types of situations, but as in all things let your own common sense prevail.

Needed items: Normal altar equipment; Protection incense (or frankincense & myrrh, or cinnamon incense); Protection oil (or Dragon's blood oil); Supplicant candle (white or astrological); Personal item from supplicant to be used as a talisman. Perform Circle Casting and invite Companion Dragons

Step 1: Inscribe the candle with the following runes: Hagall: protection Raidho: justice Thurisaz: neutralization of enemies Uraz: to bring positive change Tir: victory Isa: halting unwanted forces Eolh: protection from evil and enemies Eihwaz: removal of obstacles Jera: bringing positive events to pass Be sure to concentrate on the need for protection as you carve the runes. "See" each rune as a layer of protection that nothing unwanted can penetrate.

Step 2: Anoint the candle with the protection oil and chant at least 4 times or until you feel an internal signal to stop:

Dragons of Power, Dragons of Light, Dragons of Wisdom, Dragons of Might, Lend me your magic, lend me your aid, Lend me your guidance as this spell is made!

Step 3: Light the protection incense and pass the candle through the smoke and say 4 times:

Might Dragons of Magic and Wisdom, I ask that you spread your wings of protection over (supplicant). With your great magic surround (supplicant) with protective energy. With your all consuming fire, sever all connections with those who bring harm or despair. Replace the candle and light.

Add more incense if necessary.

Step 4: Pick up the personal item and pass it through the candle flame (carefully) and through the smoke from the incense and say at least 4 times:

Great Dragons of Magic and Wisdom, infuse this (object) with your protective magic that (supplicant) may be safeguarded at all times. Let those who would do (supplicant) harm be confounded by smoke and let their harmful intentions and energies be consumed by Fire. So mote it be!

Add more incense if necessary, then leave all the items on the altar until the candle has burned itself out. Return the new amulet to the supplicant. This can also by done as a house protection rite using a magic cord in place of the personal items and substituting the phrase "this house" and "those within" in the appropriate places.
