Norse Pagan “Fiery Wall of Protection” Spell

In Norse Pagan tradition, protection spells often draw upon the strength of runes, elements, and ancestral energies. Here’s a version inspired by these principles:

#### Supplies Needed:

– Red candle (for strength and protection)

– Protection runes (such as Algiz, Tiwaz, or Thurisaz)

– Salt (for purification and warding off negative energies)

– Dragon’s blood resin or oil (for empowerment and protection)

– Incense (frankincense or cedar for cleansing and spiritual connection)

– Athame or ritual knife (optional, for inscribing runes)

– Small bowl of water (to represent the cleansing and life-giving element)

#### Ritual Steps:

1. **Preparation:**

   – Set up your altar or ritual space with the supplies gathered.

   – Light the incense to cleanse the space and create a sacred atmosphere.

2. **Casting the Circle:**

   – Take the red candle and walk around your ritual space clockwise, visualizing a circle of protective energy forming around you.

   – As you walk, chant or say aloud:

     “By the runes and ancient might,

     I cast this circle strong and tight.

     Fiery wall around me rise,

     Protect from harm, under starry skies.”

3. **Empowering the Candle:**

   – Hold the red candle in both hands and visualize it filling with protective energy.

   – Carve or inscribe the protection runes (Algiz, Tiwaz, Thurisaz, etc.) into the candle with your athame or finger, focusing on their meanings of defense and strength.

4. **Anointing with Dragon’s Blood:**

   – Take a small amount of dragon’s blood oil or resin and anoint the candle from wick to base.

   – As you anoint the candle, say:

     “Dragon’s blood, fiery and bright,

     Empower this candle with protective might.

     Shield me from harm, both near and far,

     By ancestral strength and guiding star.”

5. **Setting the Intention:**

   – Place the candle in the center of your circle.

   – Sprinkle salt around the candle in a circle, saying:

     “Salt of Earth, protective and pure,

     Guard this space, secure and sure.

     Banish all ill, ward off all fright,

     As I will, so mote it be, this night.”

6. **Invocation to Ancestors:**

   – Light the candle, symbolizing the activation of your protective barrier.

   – Focus on the flame and visualize a fiery wall of protection forming around you.

   – Call upon your Norse ancestors for their guidance and protection, saying:

     “Ancient kin, wise and bold,

     Shield me now, as in days of old.

     By rune and will, by fire and ice,

     Protect this space, ward off all vice.”

7. **Closing the Ritual:**

   – Sit quietly within your circle, feeling the strength of the protective barrier around you.

   – When ready, thank your ancestors and the energies you’ve invoked.

   – Allow the candle to burn out completely if safe, or snuff it out with the intention of relighting it for ongoing protection needs.

8. **Release the Circle:**

   – Walk counterclockwise around the circle, envisioning the protective barrier gently dispersing but leaving residual protection.

   – Close with gratitude, saying:

     “By the runes and ancient might,

     I release this circle into the night.

     Protection strong, within and without,

     By my will, this spell is cast and stout.”
