Dear Friends,
Energy is all around us and takes many different forms. Just as there is positive and life affirming energy, there is also negative energy. People can send negative energy to you, sometimes without even knowing it, but most of the time you can repel it automatically with your own aura and positive attitude. However, there may be times that you feel you are under energy attack.
This can happen slowly without you knowing it. I’ve experienced this a few times in my magickal life, and even in my pre-magickal life, although I didn’t know how to recognize it. One time it was a former friend, another was from a boss who didn’t know her own power. Even non pagans can inflict a psychic attack by having very strong negative feelings toward you. The extent of the effect depends on both the power of the sender, and your own ability to resist it.How do you know if you are under psychic attack? One of the telltale signs is disturbed sleep with nightmares. If you wake up feeling like you have not slept at all, you may be under psychic attack. Also, look for plants mysteriously dying in your home or garden. Your animals may get sick or act strangely. A psychic attack can also manifest itself with an infestation of insects. Finally, you also experience a series of dangerous narrow escapes (such as just missing being in a car accident, or slipping often).
If you experience only one of two of these events, the chances are you probably aren’t under psychic attack. However, if you are truly under psychic attack, it has been my experience that you will actually know it. You will feel that someone is out to get you or is watching you. That feeling, combined with several of the previously mentioned occurrences means that you have a psychic attack on your hands.
Fortunately, there are things that you can do to ward off such attacks. I’ve been able to do so successfully myself, and I have guided several members of my magickal family through this process.
The simplest way to ward off a psychic attack is to do a reversal spell. To perform this spell, use a red and black candle. Many occult shops sell candles that are red at one end and black at the other. You will also need a mirror.
In my experience, it is best to perform a reversal spell as close to midnight as possible. Also, timing it during the waning phase of the moon will help the power of the spell. However, if you are in another moon phase and desperately need to rid yourself of the psychic attack I’ve successfully done this spell during the waxing moon as well.
Take a ritual bath and focus your energy on protection and strength. Use the colors of red and black on your altar as well, and burn incense that has banishing or strength giving properties. After you’ve cast your circle and called the deities, place your candle in front of the mirror and light it. State that any negative energy that come toward you is sent back to the sender without any harm to you. Make sure not to name a person at this point, even if you feel positive that you know who has been attacking you. You don’t want to send the negative energy to the wrong person. All you are to be doing is focusing the energy you are receiving back to its source. The magick will do the rest.
Remember, taking magickal precautions against psychic attack is one of the most powerful ways to protect yourself. Don’t be afraid to do this spell if you find that the need arises.
Love And Light,
