A new week brings the energy of getting back out into the world and engaging with people. Some of us may have lots of emails to answer, appointments to keep, or business to attend to. Many of us may feel overwhelmed or have anxiety with all the things we need to do in the upcoming week. A spell of protection is in order! You will need:

• A white candle
• A fireproof candleholder
• Florida Water (to cleanse your candle)
• Olive oil or a blessing oil of your choice
• A sharp point (A pushpin, a nail, or even the end of a paper clip will do.)

Wipe the candle upward and then downward with Florida Water and allow it to dry. Carve a pentagram (a five-pointed star enclosed in a circle) into the candle. Anoint the candle with the oil and place it in the holder. Say:
By the light of the day, by the
light of the sun, I am protected
wherever I am, wherever I go. I
accomplish with ease all that I must
do! Blessed be. So mote it be.
Allow the candle to safely burn down.
