🧿 Nightmare & Psychic Attack Protection 🧿
A post about protection
from energetic attacks & bad dreams
𝕹𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖊 & 𝕻𝖘𝖞𝖈𝖍𝖎𝖈 𝕬𝖙𝖙𝖆𝖈𝖐 𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙𝖎o𝖓

This is something that many of those who practice any form of Magick may have experienced or perhaps will experience in their lifetime. Any person whose psychic perception is awakened or aware may end up having dealings with being bothered during their sleep time by nightmares or sleep disturbances. This can be very unsettling and even disturbing, and can even deter you from getting the sleep you need. Not only are these uncomfortable and threatening, but they can leave you feeling unrested and questioning what is happening to you. These occurrences are often brushed of as illusions of the psyche, but often they can be a product of energetic psychic attacks from entities, spirits, or even living people.
There is not a need to be afraid, as there are ways that you can safely handle these issues. I’ve noticed a rise in posts recently about others experiencing nightmares, psychic attacks, protective talismans and amulets breaking during sleep and other strange night time occurrences. It is time to use our arsenal of spiritual tools and techniques to help combat any sort of interference when it comes to our nightly shut-eye, which can have consequences extending to our waking lives.
“𝔚𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔦𝔰 𝔞 𝔭𝔰𝔶𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔠 𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔞𝔠𝔨?”
A psychic attack is a form of negative energy which is projected onto a target, often in the way of negative thought forms. Spirits and entities are a form of consciousness and they have the ability to send energy your way, which can be negative or positive. They can visit you in the night and cause you to have nightmares or disturbing dreams. You may wake up from these feeling very startled. Some people may even experience sleep paralysis or inability to move their body, breathe properly or escape their bad dreams, which is terrifying to say the least.
The ability to project negative energy in the form of a psychic attack is not just limited to unseen forces. Have you ever heard the saying, “They were staring daggers at me”? You can even project negative energy through a look, which is often why many arm themselves with evil eye talismans. There is a potent power behind a malevolent glare or thought projected towards a person. Jealousy, judgement, criticism, and thinking negatively about someone, are other emotions and actions which may cause a projected form of psychic attack. This is how you can be psychically attacked by a living person, and not just a spirit or entity.
Less often, psychic attacks can come in the form of a curse or through the works of malevolent spells inflicted onto a target. Dark practitioners can send spirits to disturb you in the day or night, with the intent of scaring you and wreaking havoc on your life. These occurrences are more rare, but when they do occur it can be one of the most powerful forms of psychic attack. This of course being a huge abuse of their magical abilities and powers to do someone harm.
Luckily with this information, you can be aware of how these things come about and you will have the knowledge of how to deal with it with the information below.

It may be wise to develop a technique of energetic shielding which often involves visualization. Many Witches and practitioners tend to use a shield of their choosing, such as envisioning white or gold light surrounding them. Others will visualize an impenetrable protective bubble around them. Another technique is to visualize a beam of light coming down through the crown chakra, flooding the aura with positive protective energy. It is up to you what your preferred method is, so you get to choose which is most effective. Allow yourself to have time to meditate and practice these visualizations before bed or when needed.

Grounding and centering are two important practices to incorporate into your daily routine, or performed on a regular basis. Centering the mind and grounding the body is important for our overall health. Take some time out in nature and indulge your senses to ground yourself, experiment with earthing. Use your sense of sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing. Try doing light yoga. Meditate with different crystals. To center yourself, sit comfortably in meditation in a quiet space, go for a walk, perform healthy habits and acts of self care. Make sure to eat a balanced diet full of healthful things, and drink herbal teas.
𝕮𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌 & 𝕮𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖓𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖌
Energy clearing is important whether you are under any form of spiritual interference or not. Use cleansing herbs to fumigate your auric field or your dwelling on a regular basis. You can also use crystals and visualization techniques to clear your field of energetic debris. This naturally accumulates overtime, so even if you feel fine it is a great idea to do this on a regular basis to keep up with spiritual hygiene. Physically cleaning your home or taking a shower or bath helps a lot too.
𝕻𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖆𝖞𝖆𝖒𝖆
Breath is what circulates the chi, prana or qi inside the body. This is the life force energy that keeps everything in existence alive. This energy flows throughout our chakras. Blockages in the flow of this energy can cause problems within our being, which can influence or emotional, mental and physical bodies, and even cause sickness. Breathing techniques can help us to balance our mental and emotional states, as well as connect us to our physical form. It is important to practice relaxation techniques when your peace is being disrupted and to stay calm because there are spirits and entities who feed off fear, depression or anxiousness. To help achieve a state of calm and bliss, you can practice pranayama before you go to sleep. This will help to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which allows your body to relax. You will want to try deep breathing or the practice of the complete breath. You will begin to breathe deeply and slowly, filling your lungs with air to max capacity and having your belly expand, instead of your chest. Hold the breath for a couple seconds and slowly release the breath, releasing all the air. Allow your belly to shrink back to normal like you are squeezing out a sponge. Repeat this over until you are inhaling deeply and filling your lungs for about 3 or 4 seconds, holding for 2, and releasing for 7-8 seconds. Continue until you are feeling in a state of total relaxation.

Dreamcatchers and other items can be used around you when you sleep to help promote protection. Dreamcatchers are particularly useful in this case, since they trap bad dreams send by spirits within the web, only allowing good dreams to trickle down the feathers which will then reach you. In the morning sun, the bad dreams caught in the webbing are taken away and released.
You can enchant and bless certain objects with specific intentions so that it can shield you from harm. The more protection the better, so get creative and utilize what you have at your disposal, or create something that you can use or hang in your room. It can be decorative and highly effective. Create sleep sachets using ingredients you have around the home. Things found in nature such as pine cones and acorns contain certain protective properties. Another method is through the use of animal medicine by using bones or parts of an animal. For example, the feathers and feet of a crow are said to repel negative energies, the crows feet snatch up anything unwanted in ones home to protect from evil influence. Sentimental objects such as heirlooms contain potent magical energies which can be utilized as well. Remember to use your amazing mind to think outside the box.

Based on Egyptian Middle Kingdom execration texts to ward off forms of evil, bad dreams and other malefics.
Optional: Allow a statue of an Egyptian Diety (Except for Set, since he is the god of chaos) to be present for your spell and ask them to watch over your spell… Or keep an object including an Egyptian symbol such as the Ankh or the Eye of Horus nearby while you perform this rite.
Use a candle, preferably black or white.
Using a pin, carve the words “all bad” into the wax and light it with the intention to banish all evil influences in your life and around you.
Sprinkle some black or Himalayan salt over it.
Roll up your sleeves, and then place your hands above the flame, enough to feel the heat emanating above the candle.
Begin to say the following incantation:
“I command that all bad speech, all bad projects, all bad conjurations, all bad plots, all badconspiring, all bad fighting, all bad disturbances, all bad plans, all bad things, allbad dreams in all bad sleep be banished to its end…
So mote it be!”
Allow the candle to burn under your supervision until it goes out by itself. If you feel lighter than before, the spell was successful.
If it blows out before it is nearly finished burning it can indicate magical interference. Repeat the spell three times, or until desired results are achieved.

This involves the creation of an amulet by including these written words inside an amulet or by reading the blessing below, over an amulet or piece of jewelry:
“We will make all dreams which she has seen, good ones.
We will make all dreams which she will see, good ones.
We will make all dreams which any man, any woman, any people of any kind in the entire land saw for her, good ones.
We will make all dreams which any man, any woman, any people of any kind in the entire land will see for her, good ones.
We will say good things about them.”
Carry the amulet to bed with you for protection while you sleep. Wear it or keep it under your pillow.

Evil Eye talismans, also known as Nazars or the Hamsa are also effective at warding off evil, protecting from “Il Malocchio”, aka the Evil Eye Curse. They are powerful ancient symbols which can be used in the home, in your car, on your person or anywhere that can use protection from negative unseen forces. Many wear them as beaded bracelets, beautiful necklaces or as wall hangings in entryways of the home. This is a great method of preventing negative energy attacks, even nightmares.

Bedroom Witch Tips
🌿Herb sachets hung above your bed (request herb sachet recipes from me if you’re interested).
🌿Hang Dry herbs upside down in your bedroom (Lavender helps for anxiety and depression… it is very calming or Mugwort for dreams. Mugwort is very invasive, you can find it growing everywhere).
🌿Herbs placed inside your pillow sheet (I place Mugwort leaves inside to active lucid dreams).
🌿Setup an Altar near your bed: add elements of earth, fire, water and air. You can also use your windowsill as an altar.
🌿Place Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields you energetically by taking the electromagnetic frequencies, and instead of absorbing them, tourmaline changes, redirects, cleanses, and purifies the energy. This is how it handles negativity, even energies of psychic attack too!
🌿Place Sigil writings or powders for protection and restful beauty sleep under your mattress.
🌿Keep a dream journal under your pillow! Dreams can help us get a glimpse into our subconscious and the more dreams you write the easier it becomes for you to remember them.
🌿Unless you are allergic, sleep with the window halfway open or cracked to let good energy move around and circulate in your room and keep skin hydrated during the night.
🌿Drink herbal tea before bed each night. (Request free herbal tea recipes from me if interested) Mugwort tea is great to have in the evening before bed to reach high levels of lucid dreaming
🌿Smoking Herbs before bed is great as well. I recommend this book for further reading: Smoke Plants Of North America by M.R. Ross. (Request free Smoke Blend recipes from me if interested). With reverence, Rosemary Milk 🌹
The Hunter/Cernunnos
When in the wooded place I be Then in the sacred grove is he The God of Hunters, King of Creatures all His horned head I see. I sit beside him on the ground As those in Gaul of bird and hound His name is written but once, my Cernunnos And still I know the sound. He rules life and death And guards the Otherworld From where all forces flow And all events doth know. I know he will come I’ve done the dances Stay beside me now Lord of the Antlers, Come… Oh, when sun and moon They rise up on yonder hill He will rise inside me and So shall ever be, shall ever be.
-by The Moors.
Simple Full Moon Ritual
hey guys, with the Pink Moon happening a couple of days ago- I thought I’d share a simple ritual which can be done on the full moon, or the couple days after when the moon is waning.
Think of a wish or an intention that you want to set for the next lunar month. For instance, “I will be productive with my school work this month”.
Write it out on a small piece of paper, you could also create a sigil to go along with it
pick either a piece of jewellery (a ring works well) or something small which you can wear or carry around with you. make sure the object/jewellery is cleansed beforehand.
Fold your paper up and place the object on top of it, or wrap the paper around the object.
Place this on a window sill on the night of the full moon (or a few days after).
As the moon rises, imagine the moon beams falling upon your object and imbuing it with positive energy so you can manifest your intention
Leave until the next day- burn or tear up the paper and wear the jewellery/object for the rest of the lunar month
Hope this is useful to some of you!

🕯️Ways to Celebrate Imbolc 💐
Imbolc is celebrated on or around February first to welcome the earliest beginnings of spring.
🕯️Honor or welcome the sun by lighting a candle in your home (you can do a fake candle if you’re not allowed to light a real candle). If you really want to go all out, you can light every single fake and real candle in your house! 🕯️Get crafty! Make candles, Brighid’s Crosses, Brighid dolls, sun catchers, or start building a garden. Imbolc is a great time to plant seeds (unless it’s too cold outside; indoor gardens are always an option)! 🕯️Decorate your altar and/or home with crystals, flowers, stones, candles, images of the sun, or any other decor that celebrates the coming spring! 🕯️Divine your future! Get out your tarot cards, pendulum, dowsing rod, bones, or other divining tools and ask for advice or insight into the future. 🕯️Take care of yourself and your home! Do some spring cleaning and cleansing and take time for yourself. Take a bath, clean off your desk, do some easy cleaning or deep cleaning, whatever you prefer. This is a great time for cleansing and purification! 🕯️Cook and share with friends and family! Pies, cookies, bread, whatever you want. If you have the energy, you can cook a feast and celebrate with your loved ones, including deceased loved ones. 🕯️Visit a lake, stream, well, or another body of water. If you want to, dip a ribbon in the body of water and then hang it on a tree (remember to not litter; you could use a tree in your yard and later tie the ribbon off) to send a message of hope and healing! 🕯️Visit a park, lake, or forest and pick up litter. This is a great way to honor the coming of spring, but if it is too cold, you can always wait until it gets warmer! 🕯️Say goodbye to winter and start to welcome spring! You can do this through prayers, spells, thoughts, or actions. Meditation is one great way that you can do this! Cleansing, new beginnings, thriving, purification, and gratitude spells are also great ideas. 🕯️Honor Brighid if you wish to! You can make Brighid crosses or dolls, set a special place for Her on your altar or in your home, give Her a prayer or offering, or something else that honors Her during this special day.
A Witch Morning:
Many witches have their own personal morning routine to get ready for the day. This is my personal morning routine and tips for those who are yet to have, but want one.
1. Get up early, before the sun rises. Begin by stretching your sleepy limbs, followed by 5 to 10 minutes of meditation.
☀(Tip: If you’re bad at getting up early, set an alarm earlier each week until you reach your goal.)
2. Make your bed and tidy up your room. This gives a sense of organization and clarity. Opening your windows invites the cool morning air into your home.
☀(Tip: Do chores the night before. Tomorrow you will be grateful! You can clean your room the night or day before, so you’ll only have to make your bed in the morning.)
3. Eat a good breakfast. My favorite is greek yogurt with berries, homemade granola, and honey drizzled over the top.
4. Prepare some tea! Use a tea associated to your intention. I drink peppermint tea in the morning to clear my brain fog and give me the much-needed motivation for the day.
5. (Optional) Eat your breakfast and drink tea outside as the sun rises. Take time to practice mindfulness with the tastes, textures, and aromas of your meal. Feel the gentle warmth of the rising sun on your skin, smell the fresh morning air, and listen to the birds sing.
6. (Optional. If yoga isn’t your thing, exercise… Or not. Your choice.) Set up your yoga mat either in your personal yoga space, or outside. Light incense and place crystals associated with your intention around your mat. Personalize your yoga routine with correspondences of each pose. I begin with the sun salutation to welcome the rising sun. Yoga increases your vibration and further clears your mind for the day ahead.
7. Clean yourself up. EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, DO IT. Take a shower, wash your face, get into some clean clothes, and anything else that you do to get ready such as makeup and color correspondences. You can listen to your favorite music or sing while doing this.
☀(Tip: Set out some clothes and take a shower the night before if you have to.)
8. Now that you’re cleansed and have your daily intention set, you can continue with any morning spells and divination that you may do!

self checks are a very important part of self-care and good mental health! make sure you check up on yourself and do things that help you when you don’t feel so good.
it's never too late to start your day
insomnia got you sleeping in until 2 pm?
that's okay. get yourself some coffee and go thrift shopping, no one will know
anxiety got you staring at walls until 8 pm?
it's going to get better. start a load of laundry and take a hot shower, so you go to sleep clean
depression keep you locked in your room until 11 pm?
it'll be alright. drive to walmart and buy some nice candles for your night, you'll wake up with something new
you don't have to start your day in the morning. i start at 5 pm sometimes and let me tell you, doing something almost always feels better than doing nothing. it doesn't have to be big or important. it doesn't have to be too much to handle. it's enough to wash your face, or comb out your hair. if you feel tired, it's enough to make a list of things you want to do tomorrow. don't let the clock hold you back. it's a piece of glass and plastic. you get to decide what a day is.
Don’t you tell me fae aren’t real.
I saw this in the wood last day omg
