Emporiblog - Warding

-
Hello all!! Today's post has been a long time coming and we are going to talk about Warding!!



What is Warding?

Warding involves using something to create a barrier of energy that controls what energies can and cannot enter or leave a space or to protect a specific object or a person 



How can a Ward control energies?

Depending on the purpose of the Ward and your preference, a Ward can:

- Allow energy to flow out but not in 
- Seal something completely
- Let specific energies in and out and visa versa



What can be used as a Ward?

Technically, anything. The most common form of Warding is Casting A Circle, but that is usually just for protecting a sacred space and/or Spellwork related things. You can use most existing objects, Sigils/Symbols or you can make your own. 



Using an object to Ward

Here is a step by step to creating a Warded object:

1 - Select object and what it is to be used for

2 - Cleanse said object, use your preferred method or which ever method is appropriate for your object 

3 - Charge the object to its new purpose, you can do this with a Spell or by sitting with the object and giving it your energy (meditation or Reiki will work as well!), this is where you set your intention and the intention of the object 

4 - Place your object somewhere appropriate 



Your Warding object can be as simple or as complex as you like such as a small statue or a creation of your own e.g a pentagram made of sticks. You can also incorporate Sigils and Symbols into your Wards or use them as Wards themselves.



Once your Ward has been activated, you may find that it gains a sort of sentience. This is normal so don't worry! You will also need to treat a Ward with respect. It is doing something for you so you need to maintain this relationship by showing appreciation to your Ward/s and cleaning, cleansing and replenishing them at specific intervals (the occasional offering won't go amiss either!) and don't ignore your Ward, listen to what it tells you!

Of your Ward contains perishable things e.g herbs and food, it is a judgement call on when you replace and replenish it.


Wards can also be Baneful, but that's a separate post entirely...



I think we'll leave this here!! If I have missed anything please let me know!!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

-

Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

Emporiblog - Correcting Misinformation

Hello all! Today's post is kind of a serious one. Looking back through some of our previous posts, I have realised that some of the information that I gave is in fact, incorrect ! This post will hopefully set the record straight. The previous posts will still stand to serve as a reminder to always cross-reference and research thoroughly to avoid the mistakes that I made. Correction 1  ROSEMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY HERB!  Rosemary can only be substituted for herbs that it shares properties with. And, while we're here: - Rose cannot be substituted for any flower. Only the ones it shares properties with - Frankincense and Copal cannot be substituted for any incense/oil/gum resin. Only the ones that they share properties with - Tobacco cannot be substituted for any poisonous herbs. Only the ones that it shares properties with - Clear Quartz cannot be used as a substitute for any Crystal. Only the ones that it shares properties with As far as I know, White candle
