Hi everyone.

I know the importance of protection and have realised that many of my friends protect themselves in different ways or even don't know how to. It might be beneficial for people newer to magick to have a source compiling different methods of protecting themselves.

I'll start. My main method of protection is casting a bubble of energy around myself and telling it to protect me from harm.
The method I use is very similar to that of making an energy/psi ball (here's a link to that https://www.spellsofmagic.com/spells/spiritual_spells/force_spells/18423/page.html)

What I used to do is make an energy ball which I just put my hands parallel to each other and visualised (basically just imagine an image in your head. Don't worry if you can't do it, some people have trouble but you can learn) my energy flowing through my arms into my hands. (I visualise energy as colour-coded light) then formed the energy into a ball between my hands and expanded it around my body.

Now I just visualise energy flowing and forming a bubble around my body kind of like a cocoon and just add more and more energy to it until I'm comfortable with it.
I recommend you draw energy from the universe or Earth as using your own energy might leave you feeling drained. You can draw energy the same way you'll draw it in while grounding with the tree technique (here's a link to an article from Lark about grounding https://www.spellsofmagic.com/coven_ritual.html?ritual=3663&coven=735)

I'd love to see the ways other people protect themselves ^^
After moving the energy into my hands, I then move it between my hands
