Incantation of Protection

June 30, 2026 · My Spells

By Thor’s might, a shield I cast,

By Odin’s wisdom, I hold fast.

By Freyja’s grace, I’m cloaked in light,

With fire’s roar and tempest’s gale,

No harm shall breach my sacred veil.

When chanting it, you might let the word resonate in your throat, focusing on the feeling of strength and protection as you say it.
