 Empath Protection Spell:

Ingredients:

• A piece of pyrite
• A white or black candle
• A small bowl of salt water
• A piece of paper and pen
• A quiet, private space

Instructions:

Begin by casting a circle and calling in directions and guardians if that is a part of your practice. Light the candle and placing it in front of you. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax.

Hold the pyrite in your hands and close your eyes. Visualize a golden light emanating from the pyrite, surrounding and protecting you.

Speak the following words out loud: "Pyrite, stone of protection, Shield me from negative energy's reflection. As an empath, I feel it all, But with pyrite's help, I stand tall."

Place the pyrite on the piece of paper and write down any negative feelings or energy that you wish to release or protect yourself from. Be specific and write as many as you need.

Hold the paper with both hands and focus on the pyrite's protective energy. Speak the following words: "Pyrite, guard me from harm, Protect me with your powerful charm. Release this negativity from my soul, And make me feel whole."

Submerge the paper in the bowl of salt water and let it sit for a few minutes. As you do this, imagine the negativity being absorbed by the water, leaving you feeling lighter and more protected.

Once you feel ready, remove the paper from the water and allow it to dry. Take the pyrite and carry it with you as a reminder of the protection and strength it provides.

Finally, blow out the candle and thank the pyrite for its help. Close your circle and release the guardians.
