Ideas for protection when helping others?

[enchantedmoongoddess]

Hi. A co-worked recently introduced me to his girlfriend, who informed me that she had just learned that her mother was in "black" magick. She believes that her mother has put a "curse" on her and was wondering if there was anything I would be able to do. I suggested creating a sachet made of herbs and stones, charging it with the power of the next full moon for protection, she could carry it with her for the next couple of weeks and if that didn't work, we could see about a binding. However, my "spidey-sense" tells me I need to watch my back on this one. I've never really done this for anyone before--well, someone I know nothing about, that is--so I was wondering if any of you had any ideas on how I could protect *myself* so that I don't get bombarded by negative energy or whatever other forces might be at work. TIA

Well, was it me, I'd stay outta family affiars... that said, if you trust your "spidey-sense", better sleep with one eye open... boost your shields, etc...

I agree...When your instinct (Spidey-sense) says something...Listen!

Well if you feel that you need to protect yourself, be careful and make another bag for yourself first. Also I would like to make the suggestion of doing a small cleansing ritual befoore you make her a protection sachet.
