The Witch's Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defense: Wicca & Witchcraft Books : Pentacle Press

Is it possible to gain spiritual enlightenment even in difficult or threatening situations? The Witch's Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defenseis a thorough and thoughtful handbook (including a CD of protective meditations led by the author), which urges readers to take responsibility for their own actions, ask what the situation might be teaching them, and hold compassion for those viewed as doing the harm.

The Witch's Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defense fills a very special need with its balanced approach to daily psychic wellness, achieved through alignment with the elements and processes of nature for healthy living. Beginning with the premise that ninety percent of all psychic attacks are not attacks, but self-created illusions, The Witch's Shield deliniates the genuine need for protection from such forces as physical harm; harmful energy, judgments and projections; evil eyes; time traps; psychic vampires (drainers of energy, vitality and emotion); unenlightened gurus; past life energies and last but not least, oneself.

Subsequent chapters discuss the symptoms of a person in need of psychic protection, then describe methods of diagnosis and physical, emotional and spiritual self-purification. Penczak identifies graphic protection symbols (designs, stones, etc.), as well as tools to evoke protective spirits. The real philosophical beauty of The Witch's Shield resides in the final chapter addressing the dilemma of competitive magick. As Penczak sagely observes, "When we put our energies into fighting each other we forget we are of the same tree, same roots, nourished by the same spiritual source."

Popular Wiccan author and teacher, Christopher Penczak presents a threefold approach to protection magick in this guide for Witches, pagans, shamans, and psychics. First, find out how to protect yourself using personal energy, will, and intent. Next, discover how to connect with your guardian spirits, angels, and patron deities. Finally, learn how to use traditional spell craft and ritual for protection. The Witch's Shield is a wise, helpful book for beginners and intermediate students of the Craft.
