Mirror Spell Ritual
Here is a classic protective mirror spell that Morning Glory and I have been using, with
appropriate variations, for decades. We have found it to be quite effective.
I recommend creating your protective Circle not with a blade, but with a hand-held round
mirror. One with a handle would be ideal for this. Use lipstick or a dry-erase marker to draw a
protective pentagram (one point up) upon the face of the mirror. You can capture moonlight in
your mirror at night if you do the spell as soon as the moon has risen. If you cannot see the moon
from any of your windows, take the mirror outside and catch moonlight reflected in it to charge
it. Do this by holding the mirror in such a way that you can see the moon in it, and chant:
Silv’ry Moon, reflected light,
Flow into my mirror bright.
In the darkness of the night,
Protection grant by magick’s might.
Face the mirror outward and walk around a Circle to encompass
your space, as you visualize a reflective circle forming around that space. It’s
best if you can walk around the outside of your entire building, but if you only want to protect
your own apartment, walk around the inside of each room, facing the mirror towards the outside
walls. With palms flattened and fingers spread wide, move your hands up, down, and all around
your body at arm’s length, while visualizing that you are shaping and pressing against the inside
of a “Teflon-coated” shell all around your space. Expand the reflective Circle upwards and downwards
in your visualization until it becomes a mirrored band, and finally a sphere or bubble,
completely surrounding your entire apartment and strengthening it into an impenetrable
shell, reflecting and deflecting all negative energy back to its source.
As you create your protective Circle, chant:
I cast the Circle round about,
A world within, a world without.
Let all within the aerie wheel
Bear witness to the mystic seal.
Let all without be turned about
And hostile forces turned to rout.
After you have created your mirrored bubble of protection, you should purge the interior of
this space of all negativity. Make up a bowl of salt water (best is sea salt, available at any grocery
store), and use a sprig of sage, basil, bay leaves, or cedar (whichever is easiest for you to obtain)
to sprinkle the salt water around the edges and corners of your rooms. As you do this, chant:
Water and salt, where you are cast,
No spell or adverse purpose last
That is not in accord with me.
As I do will, so mote it be!
And finally, draw pentagrams on small round mirrors or circles of aluminum foil and tape
them to the insides of your windows, reflecting side out. Conclude your rite with:
The Circle’s cast; the bound’ries sealed.
All ills at last may now be healed.
By all the might of Moon and Sea,
As I do will, so mote it be!

Mirror Shield Charm
By Rev. Ahriana Platten
Here is a method I use for creating a “mirrored wall” as a shield for you or your home.
Remember that this energy must be worked from a place of love and universal connection, and
