Hi I read your posts on energy vampires, and just bad energies all around, I wanted to know how you can protect yourself from them?
Well, one way to protect yourself is to veil and shield yourself before interacting with anyone. Use your intuition to sus out their energy, are they being too nice? Too welcoming? Asking too much personal questions? Do they seem off to you?
Energy vampires tend to not take accountability, they always try to one up you, they act like a martyr, use your good intentions against you, they use guilt tripping, ultimatums, they are often cynical, dominating conversations, tend to revolve everything around themselves one way or another whether it is openly or more secretively.  The most sure fire way to determine who is an energy vampire is if you feel tired from interacting with them. 
Energy vampires are still vampires so their are things you can do to ward them, make them show their true colors, and prevent them from taking your energy. One Quickway is with using protective symbols like the evil eye, runes, and protective sigils. One way to handle them is to call them out, but unfortunately that is one of the hardest ways to handle them because they tend to have people that support them they are like the parasite most cats have. They are able to embed themselves into your energy and mind and cause you to trust them and protect them, the longer you’re exposed the more affective it is. 
People like tarot smeraldo is considered to be an energy vampire, they have a strong fanbase, they interject themselves into every reading they do, their posts are often confusing or filled with spewed spiritual jargon, and they make it seem like they’re all about positivity but will use their friends and fans to send hate, death threats, and attack people they don’t like. All while feeding off of their energy which is why they are able to post as much as they do because they don’t get tired.
To protect yourself from these vampires and all entities alike, be sure to cleanse your space and divination tools frequently. Before doing divination or interacting with anyone always cover your head and put up a protective shield. You can use incense, smudge kits, and sound cleansing to cleanse your space but be sure to do proper research on the smudge kits you buy.
If you have pets refrain from using smudge or smoke cleanses, make sure you do your research on the ones that you are using because a lot of these things can be toxic to animals. Make sure to do your research on whether or not the things that you are using are closed practices, if you are using something that is a closed practice and you are not part of that practice you will not be protected by the deities of that practice. Off the top of my head, white sage is considered to be a closed practice. It is sacred to indigenous people and it is currently endangered, people have been unethically farming it and using it against indigenous peoples will. Please respect that and do not participate in that act. 
I also have to add a lot of the people you interact with online can most likely be an energy vampire, especially some of the readers on here. If they’re not talking about protecting yourself, things to do with the occult or 5D then they are sus in my book. A proper tarot reader should always do extensive research and properly concern themselves with protective actions and educating others, if a reader is not actively doing these things they are spreading the negative energy to every one they interact with and read.
