This is a list of Deities, Spirits
and other Higher Powers that can be called upon for various types of
protection rituals and spells. As always, before working with any of
them, do some research to become familiar with all of their facets, lest
you be caught off guard by their ways. Each Higher Power is unique
in they way they approach a situation - some may be very
straightforward, others brutal, and others
gentle. If you are unsure who to pick you have not progressed
enough in your magickal workings to create your own spells and rituals -
try using a spell someone else has written such as those located in my
Book of
Shadows.
