Shield of Fire

To begin, stand still, arms at your side. Close your eyes and imagine you are standing in shallow water and that there is light below the surface of the water. You are calm, safe and secure. Now, continuing to keep your eyes closed, imagine that you are raising and extending your right arm and with the index finger of your right hand, you are pointing to a spot approximately three to six feet away from your feet. Next, imagine that you are turning, pointing as you turn, drawing a circle around you on the water. Do not physically moveyou are moving only in your mind. As you draw the circle, you see a wall of fire rising from the water, encircling you as you turn. It is shielding you. It is cool where you standthe water is keeping you cool. In your mind, you continue to turn until you have completed the circle and your shield of fire surrounds and protects you. When you desire the shield of fire to leave, simply imagine that the light in the water goes dark and the fire will disappear. If you wish to protect a larger area, imagine that you are pointing and drawing a larger circle. Keep in mind that the larger the circle, the more psychic energy required. In addition, bear in mind that the longer you keep the shield up, the more psychic energy will be consumed. Therefore, this spell can be very draining and must only be used when necessary.
