A Charm to Protect from False Friends & Negative Influence

This charm can be written in red ink on a piece of parchment, leather or fabric and carried in a black charm bag. Alternatively, it can be used as a spoken charm as well (on its own or as a means to enchant an item for protection).

Let the Spirits who made the road before your feet set the stone firm beneath your step. No crooked tongue shall guide you, no hidden hand shall turn you aside. Let the light of Insight go before you like the morning sun, and let the shadow of Discernment stand behind you like a wall of stone.

If any would lead you into thorns, let their words falter and fall to dust. If any would hide their face in deceit, let their mask break and their name be known. What is crooked shall be made straight. What is hidden shall be brought into the day.

As mist flees the rising sun, so let false friends depart from you. Blessed is your road and wise be your counsel. Your path is kept, you steps are guarded, and only those who walk in truth shall remain beside.
