  • An incense that reminds you of herbs, forests and green growing things
  • Green candle in a holder
  • Your wand
  • 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.
