Psychic Self Defense and Protection
Psychic Self Defense and Protection: An Energy Awareness Guide, by John Culbertson, will excite many who use Wicca and the Craft in their daily lives.
People — and some spiritual entities — are not always nice. Some can be outright malicious. It’s essential to know how to protect yourself, your household, and people you care about.
Also, in today’s volatile economy, it can be vital to use protection for yourself, your job and what you own (and value).
In this comprehensive book, author John Culbertson (a Mason and Rosicrucian) shows the exact ways to protect and defend yourself, through energy awareness and your innate psychic abilities.
The topics include:
- Physical actions that themselves provide protection from psychic based attacks
- How to maintain or restore the integrity of the aura from attacks
- The importance of aromatherapy as a defense technique
- Visualization processes that defend against attacks
- The power prayer has on psychic self defense
- Three basic, but very effective magick methods of protection including easy candle magick
- How to protect other people and locations from negativity and energy draining attacks
- The practice of smudging
- Commonly asked questions dealing with psychic & energy defense
This book will help you to raise your energy awareness and to link your energy to positive energy vibrations so you can more easily accomplish what you want in life without being drained by all the negative energy in the world.
The author says:
The first section deals with understanding what a psychic attack is. It is only by fully understanding how energy works that you will be able to understand how psychic attacks happen. Furthermore, it is only after you understand how these psychic attacks happen that you will be in a position to understand how to defend and protect yourself from them.
This is where section two of the book comes in. In the second section we will take a look at various techniques for protecting ourselves, our friends, and even our property from these attacks. As you work with these techniques, you will discover over time that you feel healthier, happier, and more confident in both yourself and where your life is taking you.
Please note that I do consider this book a beginner’s book. It’s a book that I believe almost anyone can pick up, read, and have some understanding about basic new age philosophy concepts that are at work each day of our lives. It is not meant to be an ultimate guide. It is designed as hopefully a great introduction and a place for one to start their new age and spiritual journey.
This book combines every spiritual practice that works. Though the author is clearly well-grounded in Pagan beliefs and practices, the book also taps into the best of Christianity and New Age Philosophy.
When it comes to protection, our attitude is, “If it works and ‘harms none’ beyond returning the energy sent to hurt us, use it if you’re under attack.”
Purists will find enough magick-based information to make this book worth owning.
This isn’t a light, happy book. It’s about tackling the energy that can harm or destroy you and your life. It’s truly a hands-on approach, arming you with the power and intention (without reservations) that you need when the going gets tough.
If you want to survive the regular attacks that are so commonly aimed at powerful people like you and me, you need this book.
Reclaim and preserve your personal power — and your ability to survive (and thrive) — in a challenging world.

Palmistry
Palmistry, by Johnny Fincham
This isn’t exactly about the Craft. However, it’s useful knowledge and an innovative approach for anyone who’s interested in palm reading, or becoming a professional (and intelligent) palmist.
Many witches and Wiccans will find this useful in their work.
In Palmistry, author Johnny Fincham — known as Britain’s leading palmist — teaches you how to discern and analyze the personalities and life patterns of people, based only on the physical details of their hands.
This book takes you from apprentice to professional in 24 one-hour lessons. And, unlike books that only offer sketches or low-contrast photos of hands, this book includes actual handprints. You can really see what the author is explaining.
He skips the nonsense and gets right to the information that you can rely on. This is close to a science, and the most innovative approach in centuries.
The accuracy can be terrifying. Your life really is in your own hands!
If palmistry interests you, we highly recommend this book.
Witchcraft Love Spell
A good Witchcraft love spell… ahh, what a topic!
First, there’s the issue of how you cast your spell.
- Are you trying to override someone else’s free will?
- Are you casting a spell for one particular person, whether or not he (or she) is the right one for you?
- What if he (or she) is already in a relationship?
Questions, questions!
If you’ve already thought about this and you’re ready for a love spell that will work “an harm none,” here are our best suggestions.
1. Don’t waste your time with amateur spells. I’m sorry, but most of them won’t work. There are hundreds of them online. They’re often badly written and can backfire.
Don’t use bindings. Don’t use anything that involves the person ingesting something.
Your heart is involved, and — we hope — someone else’s. Don’t make mistakes. Use a good Witchcraft love spell from the start.
(I recommend only one book, Simple Spells for Love. It’s worked for 99% of my clients.)
2. Keep it simple. Try one spell first. Give it time to work… at least a week or two. If you don’t see results, then try something else.
If your first spell is still “running” — the candle is still burning, or whatever — stop it before starting a new spell. Using two love spells at the same time is like running two virus-checkers on your computer. Sometimes, they don’t play well together.
3. Do it right. Spells are successful when you cast on the right day of the week, during the right phase of the moon, using the correct candle color, etc. In witchcraft, love spells can work on the wrong day, during the wrong phase of the moon… but why waste your time and energy?
4. Avoid the auto-pilot approach. Don’t just say a few words, light a candle, and then play WoW for the rest of the evening.  Witchcraft love spells can work that way, but for the best results, channel your focus and energy into it. Keep visualizing your spell succeeding. If there are words to say, keep saying them. Magick isn’t at its best if you try the “set it and forget it” approach.
5. Take it seriously. We’re talking about your future and your happiness… forever, right? (If this is just about a one-nighter, see our second recommendation, below.)
Invest in your future by getting the best spells, and follow them exactly.  We have only two recommendations.  From what we’ve seen, the others are entertaining… but not as reliable.
Simple Spells for Love by Barrie Dolnick
Barrie Dolnick knows spells and keeps them simple. If I need something that’s going to work, Barrie’s spells are the most reliable.
They’re also designed for everyday people. Whether you believe in magick or not, Barrie’s spells work. They don’t involve anything weird or hard-to-find.
Barrie’s spells are easy to follow. She provides background information, ways to add more energy to each spell, and she offers spells for any romantic need. If you are lonely and want True Love, Barrie can help. If his eye is wandering, she has a spell that can help.
If it’s about love, Barrie’s book is all you need.
It’s rare for that book not to work. When it doesn’t, this is the only other book that I can recommend.
The Salem Witches Book Of Love Spells is more flippant than Barrie’s book, and offers a wider range of spells. However, if you’ve never cast a spell in your life, and you know almost nothing about real Witchcraft… this may not be your best choice.
On the other hand, many people — including me — have used these spells with great success. (One reason so many Witches have used it: It was published before Barrie’s book.)
Author Lilith McLelland is an entertaining writer who draws on her own experiences with magick and associates’ in the Salem Witch community.
If you’ve been crying yourself to sleep for the past week or longer, you’ll find plenty of laughs and good spells in The Salem Witches Book of Love Spells. In fact, this book is worth owning just because it’s fun to read.
But, I’ll be honest. If I needed a good love spell, I’d use Barrie Dolnick’s book, Simple Spells for Love.
The Salem book is juicier and more colorful. It relies on tried-and-true Witchcraft, but… I’ve had better luck with Barrie’s spells.
Free Psychic Readings
Are you looking for a good, free psychic reading? Here’s my advice as a professional in this field.
Free psychic readings can be very good.
WHO GIVES FREE PSYCHIC READINGS?
Some people provide readings as a spiritual calling.
Some psychics give free readings to friends and family, or as practice before launching a business in this field.
Others use brief, free readings so that clients can see whether or not they like the reader or the service.
Anyone can pretend that he or she is a psychic reader, and give “readings” that aren’t accurate.
Free competent psychic readers are often difficult to find… and they can have a waiting list that’s months long.
ARE FREE READINGS WORTHWHILE?
Some psychic services will give you a very short, free reading as an introduction to their psychics and services. Generally, a three-minute reading is enough to get a sense of how well you like that particular psychic. He or she may also tell you one small item of information.
If you’re interested in trying one of those free readings, use this link to respected Keen psychics: FREE Psychic Reading!
However, to receive truly helpful, in-depth information, you’ll usually need at least a ten-minute reading. It takes that long for most psychics to follow these basic steps:
- Connect with your personal energy, to “read” the events and influences in your immediate future.
- Either connect with his or her angel/guide, or one of your loved ones on the other side… or use a divinatory tool (such as Tarot cards, runes or a crystal ball).
- Put the message into words and sentences that convey both the literal sense of the message and the emotional content of it.
- Get feedback from you, to get clarification( from the other side, or from the angel or spirit guide), or to draw more cards to “see” more details about your future.
- Answer your questions.
BETTER THAN FREE… A FULL INTRODUCTORY READING
If you’re on a budget, look for a good psychic service that qualifies its psychics and offers a special introductory rate for a ten-minute reading. Here’s one that we recommend:
We like them because the price is low and you can choose the psychic that you’d like to talk with.
It’s important to talk with the right psychic for you.
Some people prefer male psychics; others find more rapport with women. Some clients like a young, edgy reader; you may feel more comfortable with a psychic that’s had years of experience.
HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR MINUTES IN A PSYCHIC READING
Tips to get the most from your time:
- Get directly to your question. Don’t waste time asking, “How are you?” or telling your children or dog to be quiet. Get to the point and stay in focus; your energy is important for a strong psychic connection.
- Don’t interrupt. Unless the psychic tells you that it’s okay to interrupt her (or him), don’t ask more questions until the basic reading is completed. (Many psychics work in a semi-trance state. If they lose their connection with the other side or their spiritual guides, it may require additional, valuable minutes to restore that important connection.)
- Be nice. Don’t challenge phone psychic readings with demands like, “Prove it!” or ask something silly like, “What color is my shirt?” Lower emotions like those can completely cut the psychic’s connection with the spiritual realm. (From my experience, that attitude also annoys your loved ones on the other side, and it can take months for them to be willing to help you after that.)
- When to call back. If the psychic makes a recommendation, follow that advice before calling again. It’s fine to call back if you’re confused and need something more fully explained. However, if the psychic tells you to clean your bathroom (to improve your Feng Shui energy), do that before calling back for fresh advice.
- If you’re on a budget… At the start, tell your psychic how many minutes you can comfortably afford. That helps your psychic reader know how quickly to talk and if there’s time to “build up” to anything that’s bad news.
If you don’t want to admit that you’re on a budget, say something like, “I have to leave for an appointment in 15 minutes.”
However, don’t expect the psychic to watch the clock! It’s your responsibility to say, “This has been great, but I have to leave now. Bye!”
Follow this advice and you’ll get the most from your free, inexpensive, or regular psychic reading.
Bad Magick?
People often contact me when a friend or family member is trying to use magick in self-serving ways.
They worry that the individual will harm her (or him) self. Or, they worry that other people will be injured by the spells.
From my experience, the person usually has to learn some hard lessons on his (or her) own. Whether the person is casting spells, using Catholic novenas, or hiring some mystic to do the work for him… it’s still going to go awry.
Yes, the person can harm herself (or himself). However, the discomfort is usually minor and fleeting. The person learns a lesson from the experience, and the problems dissipate quickly.
Friends and family ask if “bad” spells can hurt other people. The simple answer is: Not usually.
Unless the other person in the spell is aware of what’s going on and/or is without spiritual protection, the spells can’t do damage to anyone else. It doesn’t work that way.
When someone else gets sick, it’s usually a coincidence.
Note: I’ve seen people get sick because a spell hastened their karma, but that’s all.
No one can ruin anyone else’s life — with magick or any other cosmic or spiritual force — unless that other person opens the door to it.
If the person affected was part of that kind of spell and knew it… well, there are two people who have some hard lessons ahead.
HOW TO HELP THEM
All you can do is gently advise your friend or family member that self-serving magick is unlikely to work for good.
There are hundreds of thousands of witches in America. I’ve heard of one — just one — winning a big lottery, ever. If windfalls were possible with magick, every weekly lottery would be won by a witch, a mystic, etc.
Beyond gental guidance, the best thing you can do is use your own spiritual practices for protection. Whether that’s prayer, casting protection, sending the person (or people) healing/strengthening energy, or whatever… that’s all you can do.
Each of us has power, and each of us has free will. We must learn to use those gifts wisely, or see them diminished with each false step.
Note: Binding or bottling can be used in extreme cases, but it can be a grave mistake to use either of those techniques casually. I generally recommend against them.
All of your friends and family members have their own paths. Each will find that path in his or her own way.
In the meantime, when anyone uses magick to benefit by keeping others down, the energy returns in ways that reduce his (or her) power for future magick.
That’s how it works. Almost every spiritual doctrine includes a clear warning about that.
HEALING COMES FIRST
Whether or not magick (or any other spiritual practice) causes the person harm or unhappiness beyond its failure… well, that depends on how bitter or even malicious the person’s intentions are.
Unhappy people tend to look for shortcuts in life. They feel short-changed by life, and usually see nothing wrong when their intentions (spells, prayers, etc.) could short-change — or even harm — others.
(I usually hear something like, “Oh, I don’t mean to harm him… just make him see how my life feels.”)
Those are issues best addressed by a counsellor. It’s about the mental and/or emotional health of the person. Magick is simply how he or she is expressing it.
MAGICK – WHAT WORKS
Magick works best for good and from the inside. That’s where the real power is, regardless of your spiritual path.
Magick empowers those who are already happy within themselves. It can also help those who need to find that level of contentment.
Once you’ve achieved a level of self-awareness and personal power, you can use magick to direct that power — with the aid of the gods — to improve the world around you.
That’s when you’re most likely to attract the best that life and the gods can give you, including love, laughter and wealth to make the world a better place.
