Even cautious practitioners of magick can find themselves being subjected to the frightening influence of dark forces. These can come from many sources and can manifest in many ways, including horrible nightmares or an awareness of dark energy being present. The spell below can be used to cast out evil and all things that intend harm, and carrying the charged stone acts to protect you. This spell relies heavily on the protective powers of the pentagram.

To Cast Away That Which Would Harm Spell

Tools and Ingredients

Alter or Sacred Space
Salt
Two black candles
Sandalwood incense
A piece of amber or tigers eye

Step 1. After collecting the tools and ingredients, prepare your space according to your own ritual, or by lightly sprinkling salt in a circle around yourself while speaking the following words: I consecrate this place/ for the Goddess within and without/ Only love and good can remain/ hate and evil are cast out.

Step 2. Light the candles and the incense.

Step 3. Hold the stone in between both hands and speak the following words: Blessed One/ Free me from fear/ Protect me from harm.

Step 4. Still holding the stone, close your eyes. You are going to draw a pentagram in front of you in your minds eye. Starting at the top of the pentagram and going down to the left, visualize the lines as an incandescent white-blue light. The pentagram should be as tall as your seated body. As you draw the pentagram, repeat the incantation: Blessed One/ Free me from fear/ Protect me from harm.

Step 5. You will now repeat this, drawing a pentagram behind you and to either side of you as well as above and below you. This is a complicated visualization, but a powerful one. As you draw the pentagrams, continue to repeat the incantation.

Step 6. When you complete this, you should feel very calm and protected. If you do not, you should repeat the drawing of the pentagrams in your minds eye. Then, with your eyes still shut, gather energy from the world around you and focus it in towards the stone in your hands. See the power there as a radiant white light that is growing in intensity. As you charge the stone, speak the following words: I am in Her arms/ None shall do me harm.

Step 7. Repeat the incantation over and over, all the while seeing the glowing light grow to fill the space around you. Enjoy the protective peace that you have created for a few moments, and know that it will remain with you. Keep the charged stone with you as a protective charm.
