It can be draining to maintain personal shields for more than an hour or so, let alone a whole workday or during travel. This simple charm will help maintain your shields for however long you need them.

You will need a piece of thick paper or cardboard, scissors, and markers. Draw the shape of a medieval combat shield on your paper. The shield should be small enough to fit inside your wallet or pocket.

On the front of the shield, draw a thick, black X. You can leave the rest of the shield white or you can color it red. Cut out the shield.

Hold the shield in your hand and say:

This shield deflects all harm from me. This shield blocks all negativity. This shield averts unwanted energy.

Turn the shield over and write your name on the back, saying:

As I do will, so must it be.

Carry your shield on your person to use it. Replace it when the paper begins to wear.
