Pumpkin Seed Protection Spell

There's not much information on pumpkin seeds and how they pertain to Magick. Pumpkin seeds taken from Halloween jackolantern's, however, may be a different story. For example according to the celt's they would make jackolanterns to protect the house from bad spirits on the night of the dead. So extracting pumpkin seeds and saving them can actually be a good thing. I have made up a protection spell using these extracted pumpkin seeds. The goal with this spell though is to protect yourself from people who mean to harm you or do ill will, or even can be a spell to stop gossip. I think its meant to do all of these things though.

First thing to do is make sure the pumpkin seeds are dry. Get a permanent marker and write down the names and or initials of the people who you know or sense mean you harm onto the pumpkin seed(s).  

Second step is to light a white candle

Third step is make a circle out of protection herbs such as Basil, salt, etc.

Fourth step is to Put the pumpkin seeds inside the circle.

Fifth step is to imagine whit light surrounding you blocking out the influences and energies of these people while saying this small  incantation.

Goddess/god I pray to you now

Protect me from these people,

Let their tongues be stilled,

No harmful energy can come to me through the barrier,

so that No Harm comes to me through them,

So that no one is harmed,

So mote it be

Then after the spell is completed, you go outside and bury the seeds in the ground. Acting symbolicly that these people are not close to you and never will be, and you can also alter it a little bit to symbolize that these people are out of your life too. Also maybe it be good to sprinkle some Basil around where you bury the pumpkin seeds to make sure they stay away from you.

The Altar, May Day, and spirit guides.

This is sorta what my alter looks like. I have changed a few things around since this picture was last taken, but all in all you get the idea. I don't have all the tools that books say that is required to do magick, but that is because I don't think I believe I need all those tools. Mainly because you can also do spells in your mind if you are visually capable enough.  I have candles, herbs, books in the open drawers,  holy water, incense stick burner, a small white grinder,  a wand, a dagger, a big ceramic fantasy covered bowl I made in high school, a small ceramic tea cup that holds my stones, and a couple of white sage smudging bundles.

My brother is moving out at the end of the month so hopefully I have more room in my room to get a separate space for my alter and have a spot just for my alter stuff. And possibly a small book case to put all my books and journals I am collecting. I am looking forward to getting my room back into shape and get more space to work with. It will be my version of Spring Cleaning.

Also in light of May day. I really wanted to do some type of ritual, but the only thing that I really got to do was I had gotten a red rose from my boyfriend, and contact my spirit guides. I have two of them. For me it was a new beginning to actually hear my spirit guides talk to me and give me guidance. They are full of life and so very protective of me. One of them is a Snow Leopard, and the other one is a Kodiak Bear. They are so beautiful. I am glad I was finally able to talk to them and see them. As for how I did it, well I didn't do any rituals. I just concentrated on connecting with my heart, and who or what they are in my mind, and I opened my eyes and they were right there. It was interesting that, that is all that was needed. Or maybe it was just that I was ready to know who they are, and my time for them to appear to me.
