Praise for Spiritual Protection “This book is a much-needed gift to the magical and en- ergy work community. Sophie Reicher not only recognizes the need for better psychic protection from others, but our own need to protect others from our abilities. Thank you, Sophie, for sharing your skills with those willing to read and learn.” —Ruth Fishman, First Kingdom Church of Asphodel “This book is a necessary addition to any spiritual book- shelf, regardless of individual path. All too often, basic skills such as grounding, centering, cleansings, and wardings are covered by authors in a few scant pages. In this essential guide, Reicher fi nally treats these key skills with the depth and insight they deserve. The instructions are clear enough for a beginner but with enough thoughtful information that even a seasoned practitioner can learn a thing or two.” —Anya Kless, author of Lilith: Queen of the Desert This page intentionally left blank Spiritual Protection This page intentionally left blank S PIRITUAL P ROTECTION A Safety Manual for Energy Workers, Healers, and Psychics By Sophie Reicher A division of The Career Press, Inc.

BF1045.S46R45 2010 133.8--dc22 2010018966 To Fuensanta Arismendi Plaza (1950–2010) Although she was not a magician or energy-worker (in fact, she rather fervently hated magic), she was an astonishingly gracious, kind, and compassionate wom- an. She was also the most devoted servant of her Gods (Loki, Sigyn, Narvi, Vali, and Andvari) I have ever met, and everyone who encountered her walked away transformed by her commitment to Them. Without ever realizing it, she taught many of us more about devotion, humility, and service to our Gods than she herself would ever have believed. In her, it was as if an echo of Sigyn walked in our midst and in our world. She will be well and sorely missed.
