You Will Need
To protect yourself at a protest against instigators, overzealous or violent law enforcement, and bad-faith actors in general.
You Will Need
- Agrimony - an herb known to act as a shield of defense.
- Basil - a protection herb, believed to repel hostile spirits.
- Mortar and Pestle - to grind and incorporate your two herbal ingredients.
- Evil Eye Seal - shown in the image below. The Santa Muerte Magick Evil Eye Seal is intended to protect against and push away all forms of negative energy.
- Black Ink Pen - to draw the image of your Evil Eye Seal.
- Plain Paper - to hold the image of your Evil Eye Seal. It does not need to be large. About the size of a quarter sheet of paper will work well.
- Black Cloth - about the size of a bandana.
- Black Offering Candle - to appeal to the black cloaked aspect of Santa Muerte. Generally considered to represent the most potent energy of Holy Death, the color black in protection magick is typically reserved for protection against specific threats, or the most dangerous threats. Considering the negative attention that protesting attracts - even peacefully protesting - the color black is considered appropriate for this purpose.
Preparations
At your Santa Muerte altar, light the black offering candle so you may work in its light. Use the black ink pen and piece of paper to create the Santa Muerte Magick Evil Eye Seal. Recite three times over the seal the Protestor Protection Santa Muerte magick prayer, then set the seal aside.
Herbal Mixture
Using your mortar and pestle, grind and incorporate an approximately equal amount of each herbal ingredient - the agrimony and the basil. You do not need much; just a few pinches of each herb will suffice. As you grind and incorporate the herbs, recite over the herbs the below included Protestor Protection magick prayer. Praying over the herbs as you incorporate them together will help you focus your intent toward your desired goal of remaining safe while you exercise your right to protest. Be careful of breathing in the dust of the herbs as you grind, as it may cause irritation. You can stop blending the herbs when you are satisfied with the consistency of the mixture.
Prepare the Cloth
Next, take the black cloth and lay it flat. In the center of the cloth, place the Evil Eye Seal face up, then slowly sprinkle the herbal mixture over the image of the seal. As you sprinkle the herbs over the seal, continue to recite the below included magick prayer. When the herbs have been sprinkled over the seal, leave this arrangement to rest in the light of the burning candle until the candle burns to completion.
The Day of Protest
On the day of your planned protest, take the magick seal and pray over it three times the below included Protestor Protection magick prayer, then place the magick seal in a pocket. Use the cloth to create a pouch or envelope to carry the herbal ingredients to the protest site. When you arrive at your protest site, open the cloth to allow the herbal mixture to fall over the land, then tie the cloth somewhere on your person until the protest is over. You can wear the cloth as a headband or armband, as a wristlet or anklet, or as an ornament on a belt. If you are carrying a protest sign, you can also tie the cloth around the handle of your sign.
Protestor Protection Prayer
Santa Muerte, be with me,
As I protest in the street.
With your power, keep me safe,
Cops and goons be kept away.
Seed of action, may it grow,
To bring death to status quo.
