Angelic Protection Magick: Banish Curses, Negative Energy, Evil, Violence, Bad Luck, and Psychic Attack (The Power of Magick) - Ben Woodcroft 2018

The Lesser Rituals of Protection

When occultists use the word ’lesser,’ it does not mean inferior. Instead, it means ’more specific.’ The remaining rituals in the book are not for general protection but for highly specific situations that may occur. If such circumstances do occur, then having access to exacting rituals is reassuring and empowering.

If you are uncertain about which ritual to use, take the time to read the chapters with an open heart and mind, and use the ritual that seems most appropriate. A well-chosen ritual will be more effective than three or four rituals performed vaguely.

The following rituals can freeze curses, protect against unwanted magickal interference, remove entities and attachments, reduce violence, protect your home, charm an enemy into submission and provide protection in an emergency. Some rituals are described at length, but a few are explained only in brief because they are the essence of simplicity and it would be wasteful to over-complicate such simple magick.

In each ritual, you will find that you are called to perform The Circle Banishing, The Body of Protection and The Illumination. But what if you’ve already performed The Circle Banishing and The Body of Protection today? Do you need to repeat them? I believe that you should repeat them so that the entire Lesser Ritual feels like a self-contained progression through a magickal process. If you don’t have time to repeat them, then you can ignore this advice and begin your chosen ritual with The Illumination.
