Term: Guardian

DEFINITIONs:
1.  The Guardians of the Watchtowers (AKA Guardians of the Four Quarters) are used in ceremonial magick as protectors of the ritual space. Many Wiccans have adopted calling on them during rituals.
2.  The title given to the apprentice of a High Priest in some covens. Similar to the Summoner. The Guardian was also responsible for physically protecting the High Priest, the High Priestess and the Book of Shadows from attacks or harm. Supposedly, during the Burning Times Guardians would remain behind to fight attackers, allowing the rest of a coven to escape. In such instances they would usually die, often by suicide with herbs from the coven’s herbalist before being tortured after capture.
