website for ceremonial and collector’s blades is up and running!

My friend Stefan’s website for ceremonial and collector’s blades is up and running! If your form of magickal practice and spirit invocation includes the use of tools such as an athame or ceremonial sword, this is the place to buy from, he’ll give you a good deal (make sure to mention you heard about it here). His main site is http://quality-blades.com, and he is in the process of setting up an eBay store, as well. He also sells figurines, among them dragons and fairies, that in my opinion would make great focuses for anchoring spirits and elementals. If there is something in particular you are looking for, contact him through his website and he will find it for you.

If you become aware that some one is drawing energy from you via your solar plexus can you block or stop this?

Dear Vivienne,

If you become aware that some one is drawing energy from you via your solar plexus can you block or stop this ?

Yes, absolutely! The first step is to visualize the energy pull that you feel as a cord of light coming from your solar plexus (or wherever you feel the energy loss). Then imagine a pair of scissors, a knife, or some other sharp object that appeals to you, cutting that cord.

The next step is to seal off the energy in your aura and heal the wound or hole that has been left. Imagine the end of the cord completely falling away from your body, and using your hand, feel energy coming from your hand to seal over the place in your aura where the cord was attached, until it feels whole again.

Next (and this is kind of nasty, but it’s what I would do), I would imagine lighting the other end of the cord on fire, and watching it burn its way back to wherever it came from. That should make your attacker think twice about doing something like that again, to you or anyone else. Another option is, before you cut the cord, imagine a nasty, icky energy or emotion projecting out from you up through the cord, “poisoning” the fuel line, as it were. That may or may not make your attacker sick, depending on whether they are able to metabolize that kind of energy. Many people do feed on some of the most unpleasant emotions possible. You can find more ideas like this in Michelle Belanger’s Psychic Vampire Codex.

Finally, there are some shielding exercises you can use to keep your aura strong and protected. I’ve addressed some of these in the free 5-part course I recently began offering at this site for subscribers. You can subscribe to the blog in the upper left-hand corner of this page (it’s free), and you get the 5-part course as a bonus. A couple of the books I mention in there might be of particular help to you:

The Llewellyn Practical Guide to Psychic Self Defense by Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips, and Psychic Protection by William Bloom. Both of these books, and the Belanger book, are available in the Persephone’s Haven bookstore.

The Bloom book has some great visualizations using shields of different sizes, shapes and colors, so you might want to consider focusing on something like that guarding your solar plexus as extra protection until you feel ok again.

You might also want to spend some time drawing on Universal energy from above, and Earth energy from below, pulling columns of light down through the top of your head and up through your feet, meeting in the middle at your solar plexus and replenishing your energy. That should replace what’s been taken from you in short order.
