Title: Protection Box
Post by: Anaya on May 26, 2011, 08:19:25 AM
I don't know if I mentioned it on here, but a few months ago, I made a 'protection box' that was passable but today, I made a NEW one and thought: I wanna share this with people!

So, basically, this is what it looks like on the outside.

So pretty and classic mystic moon and stars... d'awe... you pain whatever the hell you want to on the outside and seeing as most of the paintings I own are focused around the sky and demons, I figured the most inconspicuous design was this. I also threw the rune for protection the front but that's not common knowledge :P

But wait, something is wrong in the bedroom--a presence?! I feels evil in my opinion so I whip that lid open to revel---!!

THE 3RD PENTACLE OF JUPITER!
The Third Pentacle of Jupiter.--This defendeth and protecteth those who invoke and cause the Spirits to come. When they appear show unto them this Pentacle, and immediately they will obey.

Now that I have my general seal thrown up, I start to feel a little better but I can't leave the house with an open box of this size on my person at all times! Ho-NOOOO! So beneath the tarot decks and rune stones (that are kept pure and not tampered within this box), I whip out my travel protection! (not a condom)

A fuzzy image but whatever! The little pouch has herbs and my hair along with some salt that works at a ward for tampering (normally in my pillow while I sleep) and the small vile has salt and herbs in it for my husband should he be assaulted and need protection.

TADA! Protection box! :)

And I'm done... let me know what you think or of anything that might be... missing? Also I figured this was the best section as it's more based around 'magic'.

That's actually brilliant. Nice work. Question - which herbs in specific have you been using?

The pouch I can't remember what all was put in there, cause my friend made it for me while I was in distress but I'll try to remember what I can from the two of our herb collections:

Vile: Salt, Parsley (Love, Protection, Purification), Mint (Money, Love, Lust, Healing, Exorcism, Travel, Protection) Tea Medley

Pouch (Don't quote me): Parsley, Basil (Love, Exorcism, Wealth, Flying, Protection), Sage (Immortality, Longevity, Wisdom, Protection, Wishes), and I believe Mint leaves... But that's all I can remember of that one.

was your hair added to the pouch so that it would ward you specifically or so it would keep your mind untampered with???

I'm not really sure; as I said, my friend put it together for me while I was in distress.

^ which would you have chosen, and what are the contents of your box, if you will?

Please do share, OP :D I will probably make a new box when the need arrives so I would love to expand on this. :)

would have used The Fourth Pentacle of the Moon. – This defendeth thee from all evil sources, and from all injury unto soul or body.

(or <The Fifth Pentacle of Mars. – Write thou this Pentacle upon Virgin Parchment, because it is terrible unto the Demons, and at its sight and aspect they will obey thee, for they cannot resist its presence. )

I don't use the fourth pentacle of the moon mainly because most of my... private spell used involve pain... :/ and the fifth pentacle I use when trying to trap super baddies within a house for extermination :D

Epic :-D.

try the fifth pentacle of mars in combination with the first and second pentacle of saturn, i think it will work better for those baddies  :-D

Noted :) Thanks!

I think I need to get some tracing paper and redo all the pentacles (laminate them) and sort them out so I can over lay them exactly and see how it all plays out... if nothing else, I'll have some throw downs for given situations. I've already started construction of a go-anywhere alter/herb box. The goal is to make it so when I leave for paranormal related events, I can whip out this said box and have what I need to get the job done. From pendulums to pentagrams, I want to be set up for anything!

Right now, it's contents in bulk are catching up to my friends footlocker art box... :/
