I wanted to lend some food for thought to those skeptical about protective amulets. I personally carry an amulet of snowflake obsidian, which I thoroughly cleansed with salt in purified water…I blessed it with sage oil and charged it with protecting me wherever I go.

Here’s the grabber…I got complacent (shame on me) and got to the point where I thought, “This is just a rock”. So I did the crime of abandoning it and leaving it at home. Well, things started to happen not long after…I was late for work, I would lose things, my wife and I got into vicious arguments over anything…I could feel this irritating, very uncomfortable air around me…I couldn’t put my finger on it. I would do sage cleanses, ground and center myself but it wouldn’t be long before that “gray drifting cloud” would creep back in.

I found my amulet sitting atop my desk…gave it a thorough cleansing…blessed it…and pleaded with it to not let me go again. And low and behold, the calm has returned. It took a couple of days for me to regain my composure but the dust has settled and things flow smoothly once again.

Now mind you, this isn’t a “click” or “BOOM!” everything is instantly bliss type of effect…it’s a natural…assured feeling that nothing is going to happen to you as long as you carry that amulet with you. I clean it at least once a week in the pure salt water…bless it with sage oil…and even give it a little kiss and thank it for being my friend and charge it with watching over me. I kid you not, there was a time that I did a cleansing
and the water took on a strange tint…kind of like watered down Cola. I
will not leave my amulet alone again.

Like Rose said, it could be anything close to you…like your childhood favorite marble…your favorite earring. Visualize all the harmful effects, the negativity and evil in your life getting sucked into it…a visual aid would be lighting a stick of incense…watch the smoke drift as it approaches the back of a fan…and see it get sucked it. I see my stone and feel it hanging around my neck and I picture this “smoke” getting sucked into it…sometimes I’ll add like painful shrills to it as it is being destroyed from my life. This may sound silly but it’s an example of how your imagination works to make it as real as possible.

Imagine wandering through an open meadow and somewhere in the open distance your eyes fall upon a lion stalking you. Your first thoughts may be, “I’m
screwed” or “God, I wish I had my rifle with me”. That trust, that
power… that you lend to the Divine or that rifle to stop that lion… put in that stone…the power of your will and the forces around you. I don’t
know how else to put…it works for me…it will work for you. Many
blessings to all.
