When you're in an arduous situation and shots have been fired in your direction (be it literal or figurative), its generally good practice to have some idea of how to respond to the threat at hand. In the interest of providing some direction on that here, I've put together a ritual format to follow. You can modify it as you see fit.
First, procure hawthorn, bayberry, and rhubarb. Bless each with holy water, then say the Lord's Prayer over the triplicity.:
"Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from Evil, for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory for ever and ever."
After this has been done, place the hawthorn, bayberry, and rhubarb on a clean plate and set that upon your altar.
In front of the plate, place three candles to form the shape of a triangle. Light those three candles and say the following prayer:
"Bound power before me, I call out to thee and ask that you would open the Gate. Through this portal bring to me three things: protection for my happiness, protection for my health, and protection for my wealth."
Clasp your hands together as if in prayer, bow to the portal thrice, clap once, and then leave it be. Let the candles burn down completely, then dispose of the remaining wax and the spent offerings.
Blessings,
Chris
