On Tuesday night we had a strong violent storm blow through. Hard heavy rain that might have been hail--I couldn't tell because it was too dark. Normally, when I'm aware of severe storms heading towards us, I petition the Storm and Home Kindreds for protection. But on Tuesday, I was focused on photo albums. It wasn't until the hard rain and loud thunder hit that I realized what kind of storm we were dealing with.
I gave offerings and then I faced the strong storm slamming our trailer. I quickly grounded and centered myself and locked in. Hands up, I felt the shield around our home, and I also tapped into the storms energy.
I galdred the runes of Thurisaz, Othala, and Algiz. Thor, Home, Protection.
Then I said, "Kindreds and Spirits with our best interests at heart, I ask for protection over my family, our guest, our pets, and our home from this storm. As it is asked, as it is willed. So shall it be." My Ancestors echoed, "So shall it be." I said once again, "So shall it be."
I kissed my hand and gestured towards the sky.
I unanchored and returned to myself, to my room.
The heavy rains and loud thunder stopped. It still stormed, but the worst of it was done for the night. My BFF messaged me, stressed, as she had been watching the radar and the news. We were fine. She sighed a, "Thank God!"
I thanked the Spirits of the Runes and Thor, and continued on with my night.
Practice, practice, practice yall, so that when trouble comes, you're ready for it, without the need for complex rituals or a multitude of items and ingredients. All you'll need is yourself and your allies.
Practice makes better.
More storms are coming tonight, so I need to prepare before bedtime.

Thanks for the support, yall.

Trust in Joy.
