Disabled Witch - Tumblr Posts

Low Spoons Warding

It was time to upgrade my wards for my home, so I thought I would share how I do this as a disabled witch.

My favorite method for an outer ward, when my disability will allow it, is to walk around the outside of my house, envisioning a protective forcefield and speaking an incantation. However, walking even short distances is difficult for me a lot of times. So for when that happens, I developed a different method.

Using Google Maps, look up your home address (or whatever other buildings you'd like to ward), and save a screenshot of it. Go into any image editing software and draw a circle(s) around the building while speaking your incantation and envisioning the shield. Do this as many times as you feel is needed. You can even draw a sigil over the building for some extra protection.

(Poorly drawn example image below because I'm not showing you my house lol)
