Ask spirits (or ancestors) for protection:
Light a pink candle (I use a pillar candle. This can be reused during each ritual for the purpose of calling on the spirits.)
Spirits I invite you into my sacred space.
Please protect me and mine within this place.
I ask that you keep away thief, troublemaker and negative one.
Stop them from entering by the light of the moon or sun.
With love and trust and the power of three,
I thank you spirits for protecting me.
(I let the candle burn for 30 minutes and then relight it and call upon the angels during rituals.)
Work any magick that you need to do. Enjoy cakes and ales; thank the quarters, ancient ones and the Goddess and God. Open the circle
