Synopsis

Blackthorn's Protection Magic guides listeners through the realm of the green witch to a glade filled with options for your protection. Amy Blackthorn discusses spiritual, emotional, and physical security in an easy-to-understand way. She provides an overview of what protection means to witches and then explores practices in more depth, including the following: Essential oils for protection magic The role plant allies play in both protecting and healing What tarot can teach us about our strengths and weaknesses Oracle spell work as a potent source of protection As a witch who has worked in executive security for nearly fifteen years, Amy possesses the botanical spirit of an animist witch, able to see the inherent spirit in plants, as well as a keen eye on ways to make a home feel safer and more secure, on the magical and the mundane levels. For example, holly trees provide magical protection from lightning and make a prickly barrier outside the home to keep burglars from lurking in the shadows.

Goodreads review by Michael on November 25, 2023

"Blackthorn's Protection Magic" aims to intertwine magical practices with mental and physical self-defense, yet it struggles with depth and consistency.

As always, Amy Blackthorn has a way with words. My favorite thing about her books is that she never shies away from sharing the mundane world things that need to be done in conjunction with magickal workings. There’s so much that needs to happen in the realm of protection, it’s one of the daunting t......more

I have read blog posts, watched YouTube videos, participated in both in-person and online discussions on the topic. But I have yet to encounter anyone who includes phys......more
