The Guardian Rose

The Guardian Rose

The second protection spell is great to use when you leave on vacation or you're any place where you feel insecure in your physical surroundings.

Dry out some roses. Save the petals for another purpose and cut the stems (with thorns) down to about six inches each. When you leave on vacation place a stem over your doors (and windows if you choose) and simply ask the stems to serve as guardians in your absence. You can add as much or as little ritual to this as feels appropriate. The key here is you must know at a deep level that this makes sense. No spell will work if you aren't emotionally connected to it. If you don't have roses in your yard, buy roses every time you have a chance. If you don't regard the rose as your flower then this spell probably won't work for you. I bring this up only to stress once again the true nature of magic. It's very personal and it is directly related to your beliefs, perceptions and your need.
