-
Decorate the area around your guardian symbol with the greenery and small statues.
-
Clean the guardian symbol so that there is no dust or dirt on it.
-
If the symbol is small enough put it on the altar, otherwise leave it nearby.
-
Light the incense and candle. Stand before your altar and say: Guardian spirits,
I invite you to join me at this altar.
You are my friends and I wish to thank you.
-
Take the incense and circle the guardian symbol three times, moving clockwise and say: Thank you for the help you give to keep this home clean and pleasant.
-
Move the candle clockwise around the symbol three times and say: Thank you for the light you send to purify this space and dispel the darkness.
-
With the wand in the hand you consider most powerful, encircle the symbol again three times clockwise and say: I now ask for your help and protection for me, my
family and all who live herein.
I ask that you remove trouble makers of all sorts,
incarnate and discarnate.
I thank you for your love and understanding.
-
Stand with your arms upraised. Call upon your own deity and say: [Name of deity] I now invoke the guardian of this
household whom I have invited into my home.
I honour it in this symbol of its being.
I ask a blessing and I add my thanks for its
protection and friendship.
-
If you have more than one guardian, change the ‘its’ to ‘their’ and so on. Spend a few moments caressing the symbol, sending out the thought that the guardian is important to you.
-
Be aware of the subtle changes in atmosphere which occur as the protective spirits become part of your environment.
-
Finally, thank the unseen participants.
