This is the single most important step as a Spirit Keeper. Not necessarily if you are keeping spirit that are prebound by reputable conjurers, but if you are working with conjuring or summoning your own spirits.
You need to have a wall of protective measures around you before you start any spirit endeavor! You can have natural walls such as using gemstones or metals with natural, protective properties... or work with spells & enchantments meant to provide you with protection... or keep protective spirits who will aid you in keeping all malicious spirits, entities, magick and energy away from you... the best is having a mixture of all the above!
The majority of Creepy Hollows tickets not related to services provided by us are tickets from people who got themselves into a terrible situation due to lack of protection. Save yourself the headache and fortify yourself!
