Please share this spell far and wide, for yourself or for others in harm’s way. Magick is stronger when we protect each other.
Growing up in Southern Louisiana, hurricanes were just a part of life: leaving the house at a moments notice with only the nearest & dearest things. Mom had photographs in one suitcase, clothes in another, my favorite books & Barbies, Rainbow Brite & Strawberry Shortcake in my arms.
In 2018, I created this spell to protect our home in North Carolina as I left with my husband, kids, dog, & chinchilla – SUV loaded to the gills with our treasured items.
Since we’re in early hurricane season, I thought I’d share to get ahead of the storms. I plan to perform it monthly and then when devastation is coming for anyone.
