Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers readers already know and love. Protection spells typically deal with force and looking out for one’s self and others, two themes consistently at work in Jennifer Givhan’s Protection Spell. Whether it is standing one’s ground regarding family, as in the sequence of poems dealing with a neighbor’s racially-charged accusations against the speaker’s husband, or empathizing with and speaking in the voices of figures past and present who have survived physical and cultural violence, the poems in this collection are alive with the complexity of wanting to protect while needing to be protected as well. These are poems that engage human experience beyond the binary of aggression and passivity, and reflect a world where the two sides blur.”

But for every book that contains any kind of Wicca or witchcraft related information that I put together, I will always bless and protect it and it all starts with a cleansing. Walk: one, two, three. Feel the cold, the foggy damp of the water. Tread carefully: one, two, three…submerge the chest and listen to the heartbeat roar.Push palms together with feather in between and feel the energy between palms of hand, increasing heat which becomes bright like a light. Sit and listen deeply to surroundings such as birdsong, the faint steps of wildlife, the buzz of a bee. f. If the method above doesn’t work for you, and you get an image or word or sensation while listening to the storm, always go off of your experience first.

Hold your breath, dodge the creaking floorboards. Watch them sleep peacefully. I made those girls. Kiss them gently, whisper that promise and go to bed.If you are a student who cannot use this book in printed form, BiblioVault may be able to supply you Meteoromancy is a special kind of divination method for Mabon. This is particularly helpful if the sun isn’t shining on the sabbat and you have a thunderstorm rolling in instead. At first glance, maybe you’re thinking, I highly doubt I’ll see any meteors tonight. But meteoromancy actually means to read thunder and lightning patterns. Where I live, we get quite a few thunderstorms in the Autumn, so this is a practice I start near Mabon and continue throughout the season. There’s a powerful magic in Jennifer Givhan’s Protection Spell, one that offers a lyrical and unflinching look at motherhood and America, at race and history, the cultural collisions that pry us open and ‘the dark / matter holding us together.’ These are fearless, unforgettable poems.” My High Priestess use to make the most beautiful books of shadows.

Mabon is the Wiccan term for the Autumn Equinox that occurs annually between September 21st and 23rd. It’s the first official day of Fall, sometimes known as the Witches’ Thanksgiving. Mabon is the second of three harvest festivals for many Wiccans, witches and neo-pagans (Lughnasadh and Samhain are the other two). Mabon is a reaping of some of the harvest, and our last farewell to the long days of Summer. Because following the Autumn Equinox, the days will start to fall shorter than the nights. Jennifer Givhan is an astonishing poet. In her second book, beautifully built lines dovetail into stanzas that reveal how mothering brings the self closer to both beauty and terror and how the self navigates the minefields of identity and home. Givhan’s explorations are acrobatic, lyrical, and ravishing. Protection Spell is a searing and vital book.” Mabon blessings are as simple as granting someone good wishes and prayers for prosperity, health, long life, love, and all the things that bring joy in life. You don’t have to write fancy Mabon blessings, if you don’t want to. You can even use a few of our own blessings and prayers below, if you’d like:
