Protection is a foundational part of any coven ritual, especially when practicing indoors. This post outlines a simple but effective protection ritual that combines calling in the quarters, visualization, and collective intent to shield the space and its participants.

Prepare the room by cleansing it with smoke, sound, or salt. Place protective symbols, such as pentacles, black candles, or protective crystals (e.g., obsidian or black tourmaline), around the space.

Begin by casting a circle and calling in the quarters. As each direction is invoked, incorporate words of protection:
"Guardians of the East, winds that carry safety, shield us from harm and watch over this circle."
Repeat similar phrases for the other directions, emphasizing the protective role of each element.

Once the quarters are called, the coven can create a collective protection charm. Pass a black cord or ribbon around the circle, and as each person ties a knot, they speak a protective affirmation:
"With this knot, I bind protection to this circle and all who dwell within."

Place the finished charm in the centre of the circle, empowering it with collective energy through chanting or visualization. Imagine a glowing dome of light expanding from the charm, surrounding the room and creating an impenetrable barrier.

To close, thank the elements and release the circle, leaving the charm in place as a lasting symbol of the coven’s protection. This ritual fosters both safety and unity, ensuring the group feels secure in its practice.
