Quote:"Many people involved in Pagan and Wiccan spirituality find themselves, at some point, worrying about magical attack. What if someone casts a spell on me? How will I know? What do I do? More importantly, how do I protect myself so that it doesn’t happen in the first place?"

Quote:   Is there someone in your life that you have angered or offended in some way?

   Is that person someone who has the magical knowledge to place a harmful spell on you?

   Is a hex or curse the only possible explanation for what is happening to you?

Many people also choose to use divination as a way of determining whether they're the victim of a hex or a curse, but if you do this, bear in mind that your own fears and worries may effect the outcome.

Quote:If you feel you've genuinely been the victim of a magical attack, the first thing to do is protect yourself from further mischief. Once you've done that, you need to get started on removal of the curse or hex. There are several methods of doing this. Some examples that may be used successfully include:

   Create a "magic mirror" spell which bounces the hex or curse back to its sender

   Create a doll or poppet to take the damage in your place

   Perform a working that will remove negative influences from your life

   Use meditation, Reiki, chakra healing, or other energy work to lift the spell

For general protection, most people use a simple shielding method. This is a psychic shell that one draws around themselves. You can do this either by casting a circle of protection and recharging it periodically, or you can charge an amulet or talisman with protective properties. This will be an effective way of protecting you in the majority of magical attacks.
