Ritual Practice

On a small piece of paper, draw a simple shield shape. Write one word of protection (e.g., 'safety') inside it and one word of courage (e.g., 'bravery') on its rim. Light a candle, hold the paper over the flame (not touching) for 10 seconds, then place it under a glass of water overnight. In the morning, burn the paper safely in a sink.
