How to protect yourself from any harm

[franco77]

The circle has always been considered by the mystics as a symbol of protection, as long as you are inside a powerful imaginary white circle nothing can harm you and I'm a testament to that. True story, one time I was putting gas on my car at midnight at an exxon station and I needed to go to the restroom and as you might know most restrooms at exxon are in the back of the building so I headed to the back of the building and I encountered two men that looked very suspicious and with bad intentions and I believe one of them had something in his hand so I stopped took a deep breath and with my eyes open I imagined this powerful white light circle around me and as I held my breath I said to myself "This powerful circle protects me from any harm, physical or otherwise." And I kept holding my breath as much as I could and the two men suddenly stopped walking towards me and said something to each other and walked away. This is one of several experiences I've had with this circle protecting me. Frankly I don't know what is the power behind this circle but all I know is that it works! It might be the mind itself that protects or faith or any other power but frankly I don't care as long as it works and results are what matter.

I don't use any white power for protection but if it works for you then I say keep it up.

*edit* Sorry, I meant the power of white light. My original post made it sound like some sort of white supremest prison gang crap.

If I was ever so unlucky to find myself in that situation, I imagine that I would use the power of any color so long as it helped to keep my self intact.

The circle (in its external composition) is more a mean to enclose a certain type of "energy" or "vibration" (whatever you want to call it). Its use as protection is more of an intent aspect, it has not so much to do really with the composition of the circle in itself.

This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of ritual magic. In ancient traditions circles (as a mean for protection as it is believed in modern magic) were not used just because the "protection" came from other means. However some other things (as the crossroads, or the cross to represent it, etc.) were indeed used, and the circle is a sort of evolution of that (if you watch the first grimoires the cross is always present inside the circle).

It is just a matter of equivocation that the circle today has been meant to represent protection when instead is a mean of amplification inside its boundaries. Naturally it can work also as a protection but it is an indirect way of working (meaning that it's another thing and not the circle itself that "protects").
