Fear, and Protection Magick [Esoteric Saturdays] 

Hi Denny, yes I have an interesting story which may help others. When I was first “initiated” as a child, I wasn’t actually aware what was occurring, I just thought my eccentric uncle who lived in an old house surrounded by antique books was telling me stories. It was he that first opened my eyes to the occult and taught me very basic magick. Yes, Yes I know my C.S.Lewis and the “magicians nephew” but this was real though also a complex and long story for another day. Regarding protection what’s relevant is this: The very first thing he ever taught me, was how I could create my own dream house, in my imagination. I had a good imagination and he explained that when day dreaming, bored and especially as I went to sleep each night that I decorate and furnish this imagined house with items of furniture, layout and rooms. He also said that when I was tired, I could simply walk around and look at it until I fell asleep. I practiced hard as I had good imagination and understood very quickly the concept. I created a beautiful Tudor property, with mullioned windows, old stairs, beams, chimneys, a balcony, duck pond, barns and long drive with poplars all along it. No expense mattered as this was my imagination. What was important was fixing the design, and if I wanted to change part of it, I had to actually knock it down and rebuild it in my head. I did this over a summer and had as I say a very nice property, often I would go to the orchard or barns and hunt rats or feed the chickens, I also at his suggestion changed the weather as the real seasons rolled by. Once he knew that Christmas (I only stayed with him at holidays) that I had a very well sustained property he told me to pick a room I liked and make it “special” I should put very meaningful objects into it, which I could imagine perfectly as well as bolts on the doors and windows and make this a very very safe space. That way if ever I was very frightened of anything (he didn’t mention magic at all) I could simply go to this place. He taught me how to use it to control my breathing if I was scared in real life, I could use this imagined place to meditate myself back to balance. He also hinted at other possibilities, he told me that if I ever had a bad dream I could go there in a thoughts space, which he made sound very cool. Unfortunately a series of other occult events intruded and I didn’t stay with him again after the age of six. I am sure had we spent more time he would have actually really helped jump start my occult sensibilities, just this simple experiment helped me as you will see. I also learnt years later that this mind palace idea can be used for so much more, including recalling huge series of objects or places, but I digress. Anyway we now move on to a night which was stormy and dark, in Cornwall, inside an old granite castle. I was eleven, at boarding school and in the east tower - not quite hogwarts a much darker place. Earlier we had gone to the attic and four of us had done a ouija board at someone’s suggestion, and I was now that night scared to death, almost. I couldn’t tell the Methodist house master as it was likely an expelling offence, my parents I would not see for another term and my friends as such they may be were in another dorm room and scarred as me. We had spoken earlier as kids do, if the demons would ever leave is alone now and if we died would god allow us into heaven as we had sinned. You can see from this the same remark about people being brave, I hear you on that one. I was lying in my bunk bed shivering with fright, i couldn’t sleep as I was truly terrified as I expected to die at any moment. In my hour of need I recalled that I could visit my dream house and then I remembered how my Uncle had explained to me I could always when frightened in real life go to my safe room. I recalled my dream room and went there, I felt huge peace and then slept. Looking back you will see I have lived a slightly unusual life, it’s a shame I went away and never learnt more from him, I’m sure he could have taught me much. The point is of course that you could all also create your own dream houses, they help focus the mind and you can have anything you can imagine there. I think you can also easily invoke magical protection in the dream space as well, I know I certainly do now as a 50year old, all in my same property I have owned for over 40 years. The other point is that having this space as a child it’s very well embedded in my mind snd i can inhabit it very quickly, but anyone can start now and make the same steps as me whatever your age, the stronger the focus the better the space. I do hope this is of interest to others as I still find it a very helpful fallback or last ditch defence (or first ditch sometimes) when things go bad, be they a real life shock or something more arcane. The special room, with its locked oak doors and solidity is a very nice place for my brain to go in times of trouble. I now realise what he gave me was precious and that he was a powerful practitioner, though it never bought him anything material of course. I have a number of other takes associated with him and related events, but for now will sign off and leave this thought. If a child was bought up in occult teachings, even basic matters such as this ability to focus, mediate and manipulate inner visions, what would such a child be able to achieve as an adult ? I am sure some of the lasimarias in Tibet may know, but we all start in the west too late I feel. I was taught more than most I think with this and other small things and am still thankful today.

I remember an episode of Supernanny, were a little girl was terrified of sleeping in her room, convinced there were monsters in there. In favour of writing her worries off as rubbish she had to get over, a plan was put in place to have her banish the monsters. Dressed in her fairy costume and equipped with glitter/fairy dust, she had to chase the monsters out of the front door. The problem was solved, she started sleeping in her room. This is a pleasant lesser magic with all on board, good intentions and the desired end result achieved.

I mean, seriously, you have to write a book. Period

On the blood on the floor thing, I was creating Angelic Talismans at my desk the other day when we got a huge rain storm. I went around the house and closed all the windows and was then called to dinner. I went back to my desk and in the middle of my chair I sit on was a pool of water. It was nowhere else in the room. I looked up and realised that it had come through a heating/cooling duct in the ceiling and we probably had a leak in the roof from the storm... But since then we have had other rain storms and it hasn’t happened again. So I’m pretty sure Gabriel was sending me a message after doing his Talisman (I was doing Talismans for the 4 LBRP Archangels). So even though there usually is a logical explanation, this doesn’t mean magick or a spirit didn’t cause it.

I don't remember the night I stopped sleeping with the light on, but I do remember why. When I was younger, i read alot, almost as much as I do now. One time after a night of reading African god stories I had a string of nightmares for weeks. School became impossible I was always falling asleep, it got so bad my father would complain about how much I fell asleep in the car. Until one night, (mind you I had been sleeping with a light on every night), I remembered the opposite of dark was light and I just kind of imagined my room filling with light. I wasn't afraid of the dark anymore and I actually felt better when I was about to go to sleep.

Trust in that you will never fail as long as you try and move forward, change the fear into determination and know that you did your best.

I was raised super conservative Christian. I was terrified, but i knew my curiosity would not let me leave it alone so i might as well dive in. Still very uncertain i practiced and have seen quite literally my life change over the last 5 months by nothing more then daily devotion to the craft. All fear is gone now

Something worth considering: think of a time when you went to pat an animal and it flared up at you from fear. From not knowing you meant it well. Sometimes you, or the spirit, or both, are doing that as a reflex. You could be projecting your shadow onto something benevolent. It could think you're a threat. Worth trying to open communication in a safe way before assuming you're being attacked. This is a middle ground between "you're making it up" and "it's really a demon" that isn't discussed enough.

i find the best protection is faith and confidence in your own ability to handle any situation but it doesn't hurt to keep an imaginary mongoose under the house, to scare away any imaginary snakes that might slither by :P

What a lucky fellow your son is to have a father who can tell him what to do to dispel his nightmares magically. Enjoyable video.

"Practice without fear".... 👏🏾 thank you D

So beautiful that you gave your son that power, acknowledging fear as a true being itself. So very lovely. Thank you @foolishfish

Absolutely epic again. I have had some very interesting experiences with ritual work and I have found that a lot of my 'scary' experiences where my hidden shadows wanting to be heard. I then started to discern and allow them to be, without any banishing. This allowed my shadow self to become integrated. Very rarely has there been a need for me to clear out 'unwelcome' guests shall we say. I now have not just confronted my 'demons' but made friends with them and I have never felt more "whole" if that makes sense. You are providing a great service here and displaying 'I desire to know in order to serve.' Thank you 🙏

When I first started my practice of the LBRP I had a horrible nightmare of a demon. Now I've had several demonic nightmares throughout my life so this wasn't my first time waking up hyperventilating, sweating, and even seeing hallucinations in the room after I wake. In the past I've even had a dream like that ruin my whole week from just the recollection of the demon. But after waking from this particular nightmare I remembered the image of the Archangel Michael from my visualizations during my practice. I remembered him wielding his sword as he holds his foot on the neck of a demon preparing to decapitate him. I immediately drew an evoking Pentagram over me lying in my bed and called on Michael, visualizing him in my mind. The fear and image of the demon left me. I went back to sleep and actually still got rest before having to get up for work. When I woke up the next day I could still easily recall the face of the demon from my dream, but was not a accompanied by the fear of it anymore.

Once again, timely topic. Sometimes you need more than just smudging with sage. Thank you!

I’ve been reading and watching and practicing all kinds of magick since I was a young teen (about 13 when I started getting into manifestation, candlework, wicca stuff, imagination stuff) and I still feel like I’m a tiny kid learning their ABCs. Thankfully most of my fear is gone, but this is such a deep path to walk on, and I barely even scratched the surface ☺️

I have just started out doing Angel invocations myself and after the first 2 attempts I was plagued with the worst panic attack I have ever experienced, full on feelings of fight or flight with feelings that I was on the tip of going fully psychotic! Extremely frightening to say the least. It put me off for a while but I’m now back on the horse and have just ordered a copy of the 72 Angels of Magick to have another go. Thank you for sharing your experience as when something happens to you during or after a Magickal ritual you convince yourself your the only one it’s happened to and everyone else is dancing merrily with the entities.

I grew up in a strict catholic family, then i transitioned to christianity. Eventually, I just left both and sought to find myself and what suited me. I began by reading psychology and philosophy but growing up I was always fascinated by magick. I realized I have unintentionally have done magic, manifestations, and more all my life without knowing. Now i’m looking into practicing the mystical arts & have been watching your videos.

My synchronicities have been increasing I really needed this video today! I'm having to overcome a lot of brainwashing

What a great video! Totally agree, the sword banishing ritual is one of the best rituals out there. Doing it everyday with the LRBP and LIRP creates a great platform to balance out the energies and experiment freely by having your imaginary mongoose at your side. Thanks Denis for another great video! Keep it up!

I appreciate your honesty. You're so down to earth.

I almost missed this video. And, ah! what a loss it would have been: it is simply delicious! Mr. Fish, you narrate wonderfully: the story of the imaginary mongoose is resonating with me even now! You should record audio books!

Thanks again for another great video 😊. I can personally vouch for the Master Protection Ritual from Magickal Protection Ritual from Damon Brand’s Magickal Protection. Anyone starting out on their Magickal journey could do a lot worse than to start with this ritual. I found it to actually be an empowerment ritual rather than a shielding one. I was protected at the end because I was strong enough to protect myself. It is a 33-day ritual, so you learn, as you say, that these things work when you do them over time. It helped give me that discipline for future workings. As you mentioned, it introduces you to the Sword Banishing Ritual. Very quick and very powerful tool to quickly clear your head, give you confidence and also really gets rid of any incorporeals you don’t want hanging around. And lastly, it gave me as a beginner the confidence that I was protected so I could get on with The Great Work. I did the full 33-day cycle and now repeat the ritual on the first day of every month as a ‘booster shot’.

Beyond words...my gratitude for this. It felt they just empowered every one who is starting it's path and feeling attracted with angelic magick. Gracias. 🦊

Thank you for all that you do, Foolish Fish! You’re amazing!

Your voice is incredible you could easily be a radio Jockey

Thank you so much for this video and recommending Damon Brands book at the end. I bought the ebook version a year ago when you first posted this and hadn’t looked at it much as I didn’t feel the need or desire to back then. But the week that just passed I was experiencing some serious stuff and my mother had doubts that someone may have cursed me or tried to attack me with magick. I grew up with magick within my peripheral but it was always kept quiet and everyone around me aside form myself feared it. So my mother had suspicions upon someone who might have done something. I was on complete denial that any such thing could have happened and was convinced that what I was experiencing was not the result of any magick directed my way to harm me… even though there’s good reasons why someone as I found out the person who had done so, would have wanted to. But eventually once I woke up from another bad dream and paralysis I thought I’d just give one of the cancelling curses and attacks rituals I had seen in Damon’s book. I didn’t have anyone specific or even the belief that I was probably under attack but did it anyway, and within 2 minutes of doing the ritual I felt a huge shift in energy around my body and then I saw the face of the person who had attacked me flash in my eyes somehow and after that I have felt SO much peace. I’ve been sleeping well again and I don’t feel as agitated and stressed and anxious CONSTANTLY like I was feeling. My emotional state has calmed down. I am so grateful. I only had to do it once, not even the full 33 days as recommended in the book, and it was completely cleared. Thank you so much for the recommendation

Loved this video. I have experienced fear of practicing magic so I have been reading as much as possible to understand what I am doing and its ramifications. I want to stepfather but keep a distance fearing I will summon an adversary that I cannot get rid of or influence.

Excellent topic, Maître Poisson, thank you... The Japanese teach their kids that on waking from a bad dream, they say aloud "Eat my dream, Baku!" three times. My tea ceremony teacher told me that.

Interesting video. Thanks. As a young child I would have the most terrible nightmares. The kinds of things children shouldn't even know about. I never learnt how to banish them but over time they taught me the skill of lucid dreaming. First how to recognize being in a dream, then how to wake myself up, then how to banish things within the dream, and eventually how to control every aspect of the dream. These days, I welcome those dreams. They trigger lucidity and I can then deal with the entity/problem and have the rest of the dream to myself. Something that started as unmitigated horror turned into a profound and valuable part of my life and in some cases a powerful tool. Fear can hold you back, but it can also teach lessons which nothing else can.

This is a great video. I think this topic is being underestimated by starters with insecurities toward their magickwork or because of dogma held on by religion. I do wonder about the energetic differences and consequences at your life by doing the Middle Pillar Ritual, LBRP and LIRP . I haven’t done the MPR a lot but I always felt refreshed after the ritual and at the second time i felt something tingly at my feet . I do the LBRP twice daily , because it makes me feel grounded and it mirrors back to me in daily life. And somehow it changes your relationships . Some friends are not a match for me anymore. I did the LIRP a few times and it felt completely different. Not the comfortly and grounded way, but more intens. I felt ‘exposed’ to situations that triggered me. Another thing that stands out and i’m not sure if this has anything to do with it: is having something going on with my fingers and toes (winter toes/fingers). I never had this before . It’s a bit long story, but the practices seem to effect subtle or in big way your life and body. ⚡️

you have such a great voice and you are bery suited for narration. im a beginner witch and ive been trying to learn everything i can to at least get started with practicing magick but i haven’t been retaining any information these days. came across your channel and the way you speak and explain information is really compelling. it makes you want to listen and learn more.

One thing that I think is a fundamental part of protection in magic is spiritual cleansing on a regular basis. There are a number of books that deal with this topic, but some authors advise that it's a good idea to have a various resin incense on hand for this. According to some authors, you should always have a stash of dragons blood, frankincense and benzoin on hand. Spiritual cleansing also extends to the idea of keeping yourself psychically clean. For some authors, spiritual bathing at regular intervals (at the new moon) is the way to do this.

Really loved promethea as a primer on magick 🙏❤️

I’m dying at the Occult meme! “What I think I’m doing,,,,” HA! Priceless!

Oh wow! Yesterday I did a ritual from the 72 angels to know if I should follow a computer science career and I had the worst psychological nightmare dream in my life, the dream shown me nothing about the career itself but I saw every loved one turning vile against me. I will give the ritual more time to work, but for now I'm taking it as a hard no.

Love your stories. Thank you for the uploads x

Thank you so much for these videos. They have been so helpful and also so reassuring for a beginner magician.

I needed a reminder on a few things and this was perfect. Thank you so much FF.

Thank you so much for your efforts and time 🙏 ❤️

Nothing to fear but fearful men and woman.

My daughter is just about to turn a year this month and I have to say, of all of the resources I have been using lately for my practices your channel has been at the top of my list. And hearing stories about your practice experiences as a parent are super helpful and give me so much hope that I don’t have to put things to the side even though I’m a mom now❤🙏🙏 def not gonna be forgetting that trick of putting the picture of that fearsome creature under the bed 😂 in fact, I may do it for myself haha

Hold on..... this was posted And hour ago. Well that is incredibly convenient I was in need of this topic and help 😊 Thank you

I love Promethea and reread regularly. You can’t possible get everything out of it in a first or even second read. Its made for rereading. Which I like. Thanks for the book recommendation.

Menakel was the first angel I worked with too and happened the exact same thing, my dreams became more turbulent for some days and I started thinking it was making everything worst instead of helping out, but then I realized that it was my fear feeding my night terrors and read that a good thing to do before going to sleep is to avoid eating for at least 4 hours before and taking a shower, I made it a cold shower and then everything improved considerably, I think more than a magickal help Menakel pointed me out to search for solutions!

Next to remus lupin . U are the second best DADA teacher. You got the job

wonderful information, thank you so much FF.

Magickal Protection is indeed a good book.

Thanks for your informative videos. Please post more and more videos. God bless

Thank you very much for this video. I will be picking up the magickal protection book. XX

Love the shout out to Promethea, I’m reading it now!

Seriously, Your videos put me back on track when I am being lazy with my banishings. Oh and if you know the name or shape of the spirit tormenting you, visually/astrally burn the entity with the fire of the sun. Helped me a lot and gave me a lot of confidence

Thank you for this channel my friend. Its awesome.

Great advice! And yes I've had good results for the past 5 years.

@foolishfish, amazing and synchronistic post. I decided to meditate this morning about strengthening my soul. So I would have confidence in the presence of greatness; God, higher self or even demons or devils. Whould that be fear or confidence? After I was done, your video notification popped up on my phone and after I watched it the synchronisity left me speechless. Thank you for sharing your content!

Thank you so much for the video. Something new for me.

Loved this sharing. Made us smilely which was needed! Many Thanks! xx

Great video guys, I also have books that I recommend in my videos for beginners that show and teach these. The lesser banishing and Middle Pillar are two great rituals as is the Bornless ritual.

That's a funny story at the end! I do think I understand it's meaning. Also this video is going to be useful. Had some sour milk not long ago, and I keep scaring myself from continuing quite often.

Ever since I've started experimenting with low magic and meditation, I've kept getting warnings from people I know that either practice themselves, or are well versed in the topic of esoteric philosophy. I've heard again and again that I shouldn't be playing with any kind of magick and that deep meditation can cause schizophrenia. I know that these advices come from a good heart, but I don't understand the need to be overly careful and fearful of anything related to the subtle realms.

I teach about magic protection. More on mystic and energetic methodologies. I have stories.

I've heard a lot of good things about D. Brands magical protection. I should probably get it😊 love your story time/personal experience with your son/family. Thank you again

I am currently working on a magix system based around bonding different planetary energies to servitors that I release into an enclosed astral plane of which I can then further bind into magical stars I've created myself

your videos are always an inspiration, at least they are for me! Continue the good work!

Thank you for your highlights on these topics: (personal) fears and protections in magic. BTW in your prior videos, I might have remember you mentioning Richard Cavendish's, "The Black Arts", in one of them. I did went ahead and brought it with Manly P. Halls "Secret Teachings of All Ages" (and they did arrived last week, here in the US). So....hopefully you got a commission on that purchase.

I've been happy with the gallery of Magick so far, hard to explain but it does produce good result.

I just got a copy of Brand's Magickal Protection and started doing the Sword Banishing and Master Protection Ritual. Thanks to you, of course! I want to add in other types of protection but I wonder how many rituals / spells I can do in one session without it being an overkill. My main problem is finance, job losses and also general fear. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this.

Haha I just got this book and started some of the rituals and this video came to me on RU-vid. Lovely

Whilst riding a scooter in Cambodia without a helmet, girlfriend on the back, I saw a traffic cop fining tourists at the crossroads ahead, just before he saw me too. I just had enough time to do the sword banishing from the GOM book, and no sooner had I finished, just as the cop raised his hand to flag me down, a huge lorry screamed round the corner and got between us both! By the time he saw me again I was sixty metres down the road, excitedly explaining to the ex about what just happened...was a 'had to be there' moment, but a nice little miracle too. I'll never forget that one..!

I agree, you need to write a book. At some point, live events would be great.

Thank you for this.

Thank you this was perfectly timed Not about my rituals but I have always been able to manifest and sometimes i get weird occurences

The first time I did the LBRP I had a freezer full of meat go bad. (Door wasn’t closed properly) It took me a bit to convince myself it was a coincidence.

Thank you.

I taught myself some sort of protection ritual as a child. I didn't have too many nightmares, but falling asleep could be difficult because I'd imagine shadowy, predatory figures lurking in the room waiting for me to close my eyes. even when I told myself they weren't real the fear wouldn't dissipate, so one night I decided I'd just imagine a forcefield covered in symbols that would destroy the entities on contact and I felt better shortly after.

Oh, someone made me a video to go with my new book! I’m smitten, like a schoolgirl!

Once I was outside doing some moon cleansing and charging charms when I experienced fear, something was wrong. The dogs barking, two ambulances and a fire truck weeoooweeeooo, hundred of cockroaches suddenly appearing near the altar... I just finished and run to the comfort of my home... Inside, on my phone my friend told me to not do anything related with the moon because " there's going to be a moon eclipse" I went outside again, the altar full of cockroaches, I dismantled the altar, everything and washed everything inside. Protect yourself please. Ward your place, be healthy and safe.

Yes, AMONGUS 9:45

Shame there is not a suggestions box at the Gallery. But then again, they'd only get much piffle such as the following dropped in it:- ...Magickal Protection page 68 for example says print "four copies of this talisman" seemingly meaning the talisman overleaf, closest to the text mentioned; and Not the talisman immediately visible, that the reader has been working with that far. This is the first set of talismans discussed in full. Yet not recognised and identified as separate distinct talismans in the text. Despite the frequent recommendations I dare not think on what the Kindle is like. And yet I'm sure there's something, some entity or other assigned these duties. 😁 Looking through my current library for the "let the frayed ends alone ritual". I'll find something that'll work for me for now. 🙊🙉🙈

Excellent, thank you

An experience I would like to share about nightmares- Couple of months back my grandmother passed away. Following few weeks I started having nightmares- one in which i found her mutilated dead body. I immediately woke up & chanted Devi Kali's mantra. After that, I didn't have any nightmares. Days later I was revisited by my grandmother who now seemed happy & i hugged her before I woke up.

thank you, been waiting for this one

Let's just say, protection is a must in what I'm trying to make real

1:25 🤣 that meme is spot on

Ive considered creating a servitor dedicated to doing protection for me in exchange for kind offerings, I reckon I'll do this and note down the Sword Banishing ritual too 🤔

9:43 yes, amongus.

Thankyou very informative

💛love your soft voice...... Thanks for sharing the protection guide and can you talk more about how to cut off vampires blood energy suckers....feel so drained......wired feeling...can’t focus:( Doctors haven’t find out the reason yet. Please support more information.🐱

Excellent

the ending was clever

I thought nightmares and scary dreams I had were due to covid lockdown but now I know it’s related to fear from magick I was kinda religious pre covid.

Hello Let me say, that I am totally not afraid that I am interested in magick. Odd, though because it feels as though I've worked in magick, in the past,( I never had). In University I wrote a paper on Michel De Nostradamus, ( I got a "B" on the paper, it was hard to get an "A" at Fordham University, lol). I feel loved when I'm reading the books that I have so far ( Golden Dawn & Kabbalah). Somehow I feel that I'm learning of myself, odd eh? Ok, have to go, all the best Shaun of NYC

Good points to think about. Still new at this myself. So very relevant too. Thanks man.

Thanks 🧚🌌🕯️🇲🇽

What a great channel.

Dude your Awesome!!!

I feel like I messed up with the LBRP myself. After several weeks i tried to do a ceremonial magick ritual and i had major blow black of which i have not recovered. . I'll admit i do live in fear because my mother is a Christian fanatic and is always claiming i have demons in me. I wish i wasnt so scared to study the occult

Ive just imagind performing the most effective & permanent LBR.... Globally 4 the gr8er good of ALL... 👑✌🎯💯N0W💋
