It sounds like a protection or Empath pouch would be a great plan, @Susurrus. Perhaps one for your son as well as he overcomes the waves of heartbreak- it sounds like a tough time all around. Sending good energy to you both- hang in there! 
Awesome @NickWick! Hope you enjoy your protective spellwork! 
You’re very welcome @mary25- thank you for joining in with such a lovely entry! That is a beautiful protective ritual. And good for you for taking advantage of the seasonal black and orange candles! 
You chose some great herbs to include as well- all around great job!
That’s really interesting, @TheMuslimWitch! I haven’t heard of badra before, but it sounds like it is similar to sage in how it functions. As for the headaches… have you considered that you might be an Empath? Not a diagnosis, just a suggestion as you seem to be able to feel the emotions of others very keenly!
Thank goodness you went to her rescue, @moonshadow- you are a very good friend. In such a tense and stressful situation it is a very good idea to protect yourself too. Beautiful ritual- you followed your heart and worked magick with a strong protective intent. Well done!
