You’ll need:
- Your favorite jacket
- Crystals with connotations to protection (I am using obsidian, labradorite, and amethyst).
- You can also use crystals for infusing the coat with other purposes, such as calming stones (I am using rose quartz).
- Clear quartz
- Satchet bag
- Sage
- Lavender
- Tea light candle
- Paper clip or carving tool
- Lighter
- Safety water
- Start with your tea light, lavender, sage, lighter, and carving tool. Into the candle, carve your intentions. In this case, simply the word ARMOR.
- Light the candle and keep it in a space free of any hazards. Using the tiniest pinches of lavender and sage, sprinkle it into the candle (not directly into the flame). Make sure you have a cup of water nearby for fire safety purposes!
- If you use incantation, feel free to recite whatever comes to mind. In this case I used “Protection is needed, protection is pleaded. This is my will, this is my way, so mote it be.” Really whatever you want is fine.
- The reason to use a tealight and not any other size of candle is to let it burn completely out in one try. If you can’t, that’s fine, but keep it going while you set up your coat.
- Put more sage and lavender into the satchet bag, placing it inside a pocket or inside the coat if it doesn’t have one.
- Lay the coat on a flat surface (away from the flame!!!) and arrange your stones around it in a way that resonates with you.
- If you have access to a moon-facing window, lay it out overnight with the quartz nearest the window to draw down feelings of comfort and safety you might feel when moongazing. If that is not an option, place the quartz in the middle of the coat to really drawn in the protection and calmness of the other stones you have used.
- Let this sit out overnight (if using the moon) or until the candle has burned out.
