To boost your protective energies on this day, gather together some chili pepper and basil. Run your fingers through the herbs, allowing your energies to attune to them. Say:

I call upon the guardian powers of chili pepper and basil. I ask that you bless my spell with your protective energies.

In a glass bowl, combine the herbs with warm water. Hold the bowl in your left hand and hold your right hand open over the water. Say:

I call upon the horned god, protector of all, charge this liquid with the powers of the guardian.

Anoint yourself at each chakra point with the liquid. Feel yourself surrounded by the loving protection of the divine. Take the remaining liquid and sprinkle it at each opening to your home.
