Third Party Reading Protection.
Yesterday something extremely unsettling happened to me which is the basis for this post. Being someone who was in a very abusive relationship, privacy and protection are of the utmost importance to me. Yesterday, I ran into my abusive ex-partner at the local Trader Joe’s. They smiled smugly and said that they were doing readings to check up on me and what a surprise it was to find me there. My ex is a fellow Tarot reader who used spiritual scare tactics and Tarot readings to control me in our relationship. I felt sick and quickly left the store. I went to go visit my parents crying, feeling so scared and violated. My mother created a protection charm to shield me and block third-party readings done without my consent even if the information that is being uncovered or asked about is public knowledge. I begged her to share what she did for me with all of you, but she refused at first. I began to explain that there are so many people like me online who are dealing with something similar, in which she obliged and left out a few things in the original charm, in which I will explain below. I believe everyone should have a right to their privacy, especially in readings. While I understand that not everyone feels this way about third party readings, and even I have my exceptions, I still feel strongly that when it concerns a case of someone protecting themselves from a volatile situation or person,their personal information should not be accessible without prior consent or be violated by a third party reading.
A small vial - To contain the charm.
Candle Wax - To seal the vial.
Faux tag lock - A string that matches your hair color to create a fake link/representation of yourself.
Cascarilla (powdered eggshell) - To create a barrier of protection.
Coffee Grounds - To ground the protection to the physical world.
Cotton - To cloud the truth.
Broken Glass - To deflect intruding energies from third-party readings.
Seven Small Pins - To safeguard your own energies.
Black Salt - To ward off a physical and spiritual assault.
Brown Mustard Seeds - To create confusion and false truths in readings done without your consent.
Last Four Items - It is believed in my mother’s practices to never share a complete recipe of proactive protection, for doing so could give someone the ability to disarm it. Put four items of your choosing that relate to boundaries, protection, personal power, and warding.
