Quick Question 
Greetings all, I am new here and had one quick question. I have been studying the art and religion of Wicca for a little over a year now, I have done spells and know that this is the path for me.

However, I wanted to know if there was any kind of tea or brew I could make for protection.

Anything is helpful.

Thanks,
-Switchback001

Re: Quick Question 
Hi

When it comes to protection there is various ways of doing it.  You can wear a pentagram or an amulet for protection,  there is also stones tthat is good for protection like apache tear, jet, onyx.  There is a couple of herbs you can use in a tea like angelica, thistle, burdock, fennel, holly, horehound, lavender, lilac, mandrake, mistletoe, mugworth, Thyme, valerian,
Valerian: can make you drowsy and mellow so you don't want to drink it in the mornings, in some rare cases it also cause visions
Thyme: Gaurds against nightmares, but is also use for sleep.  You might however use some in your bath water for protection.
Lilac: I cannot find a lot of information about lilac so steer clear just in case it is piosonous
Lavender:  Great in tea and bath and can also be burnt for protection, however it is a very calming herb
Mugworth: Does not taste nice but also have scrying abilities and psychic abilities.
Nettle:  Do not use in tea but carry some around with you

To make a tea just mix your herbs together Lavender, valerian & mugworht and put about a teaspoon of the mixture in a restrainer (if you cannot find one you can make a teabag out of non toxic white material and fill it with your tea mixture).  Boil some water on the stove of kettle and make sure that it doesn't steam anymore before you add the water to your herbs, let is soak for about three minutes add some honey or sugar and drink.

You can also consider doing the banishing ritual on a daily basis for extra protection.

A house blessing might also be a good idea since it get rids of all negativity.  I you want to we can make you a tea for protection my husband love making teas and he usually make wonderful blends.

Re: Quick Question 
Greetings Switchback,

I'm not that clued up when it comes to tea, though green tea and fennel tea are great for cleansing and revitalizing. Rosemary tea is a strengthening, energizing tea which I trust would make you a little more resistant to psychic attacks of any kind. Unfortunately, that's about all the advice I can offer based on my limited knowledge of teas. I wish you all the best!

Brightest blessings
