Digital Identity Protection Petition
Primary Use
A protection charm for anyone with an active social media presence. To help you maintain a protective barrier of separation between real life and your virtual identity.
You Will Need
Preparations
At or near your Santa Muerte altar, light the offering candle so you can work in its light. Then take the piece of paper and fold it in half to create a prominent crease down the center of the paper. Unfold the paper and, on one half of the sheet of paper, write your true legal name - the name you wish to protect from the world of online bullies, trolls, and crazy people. Also write your date of birth. If you have a regular address which you also want to protect, then write that address below your full legal name. On the other side of the piece of paper, write the email addresses or screen names associated with your social media accounts. Recite over the paper the below included Digital Identity Protection magick prayer.
Prepare the Herbal Mixture
Using the mortar and pestle, grind and incorporate approximately equal amounts of the herbal ingredients - the agrimony and basil - plus the red brick dust, into a mixture. As you grind and incorporate these dry ingredients, recite the below included Digital Identity Protection magick prayer. Praying over the mixture as you grind and incorporate the ingredients together will further focus your intent of protecting your digital Identity from negatively impacting you in the real world. Be careful of breathing in the dust of the herbs as you grind, as it may cause irritation.
Wall of Protection
When you are satisfied with the consistency of the herbal mixture, then sprinkle the mixture, pinch by pinch, along the crease in the middle of the paper. This is to represent building a spiritual wall of protection and separation between your identity in the real world and your identity online. As you sprinkle the herbal mixture down the middle of the paper, building your protective wall of separation, continue to recite the below included magick prayer.
Let the Candle Burn
Leave the paper to rest in the light of the burning candle until the candle burns to completion.
Physical Separation
When the candle has burned to completion, carry the paper and herbal mixture outside. Toss the herbal mixture over the ground, and again recite the below included magick prayer. Next, while still standing outside, tear the paper in half, right down the middle, along the crease that you previously made at the start of the petition. Again recite the below magick prayer. The piece of paper containing your true full name should be placed in your home or living area. You can keep this paper anywhere safe, such as in a private drawer, or at your Santa Muerte altar. The other piece of paper, containing your digital information and screen names, should be taken away from your home as soon as possible. You can use a pen or marker to block out the information for the sake of privacy, then throw that paper in a random trash can where it will eventually be carried away and permanently separated from its other half that is stored safely in your home. This again represents a separation between your real life and your virtual life.
Repeat as Necessary
If you are someone who is constantly online, then you can perform this petition on a regular basis - for example, once a month. Each time you repeat this petition, you can discard the previously saved piece of paper; for example by treating it as regular household trash, burying it in your garden, burning it to ashes and tossing the ashes to the wind, et cetera. Since the symbolism here is a separation, you can do basically anything you want with the previously saved piece of paper EXCEPT take it to the same trash can where you discarded its other half.
Digital Identity Protection Prayer
Holy Death, on you I call,
bless me with a blessed wall.
A wall between my two lives,
my two lives off and online.
A protection charm for anyone with an active social media presence. To help you maintain a protective barrier of separation between real life and your virtual identity.
You Will Need
- Agrimony - herb associated with reflecting negative energy, and acting as a shield of defense.
- Basil - herb associated with dispelling negativity and repelling hostile spirits. For protection in general.
- Red Brick Dust - literally the dust from a broken red brick. To represent a wall of protection that separates your virtual identity from your real life.
- Mortar and Pestle - to grind and incorporate your herbal ingredients together.
- 1 Piece of Paper - to write the details of your online and offline identities.
- 1 White Candle - to appeal to the white cloaked aspect of Santa Muerte, generally associated with protection in general. If you are concerned about specific threats, such as from stalkers and unhinged maniacs, then you can substitute for the more potent color black.
