In magickal practice, the protection of one's sacred space and self is a vital factor in ensuring the safety and equilibrium of one's lower microcosmic being, home, and place of occult operation against psychic and corporeal intrusion of unwanted entities. The entities referred to here are the human and subtle sort--both have the potential of being equally nasty, troublesome, and satanic. In Esoteric Islam, Satan or "Syeitan" is understood as a universal characteristic of the lower worlds that may be embodied by sentient beings, and not as is commonly thought, an individual entity.

The protection of a certain area within a magickal boundary could include offices, factories, warehouses, banks, etc. The first and foremost space that the occult practitioner would protect is the place called home, for aside from the physical body--the temple of the soul, the home is the symbolic and literal extension of the self, and the violation of the conscious self can be most traumatic.

In occultism, practitioners would also never neglect to build a barrier of protection around an area of magickal working, not only to prevent the interference of external vibes and intelligences that disrupts the ritual-working but also to maintain the build-up of the invoked force--the "cone of energy." The "protective circle" of a magickal operation produces other important effects such as inducing the appropriate mind frame; the withdrawal of consciousness into the inner levels of the mind; the manifestation of an interface--a magickal portal between realities, etc.

Apart from the protection of a clearly defined area, what may be considered of primary importance is the protection of the vehicles of the indwelling Spirit from psychic violation and damage, however, this is a subject in itself, and is outside the scope of this article. God/dess willing, we will probably deal with this later in a future paper. In this article we will focus on instructing several methods of deploying magickal barriers to defend a chosen area and the individuals living or working therein.

The installation of magickal "fortresses" may protect one against psychic attack, black magick, fascination, hexes, obsessing/negative entities, physical intruders, thieves, trespassers, natural disasters, riots, (even the MIB, CIA, NSA, Big Brother, if God be willing :-) ) etc.

Indonesian occultists refer to the art of magickal protection as "ilmu siker," and the protective barrier itself as "pagar gaib (lit. magickal fence)."

One of the earliest Indonesian accounts of the protection of space may be found in the popular legend of Aji Saka. According to the tale, sometime in the early centuries after the advent of the Piscean Saviour, Aji Saka, a Brahman high priest from India settled in the Java island to prepare for a new race of inhabitants. He found the island in complete spiritual darkness, with the astral plane filled with effluvia and negative forces from the pits of the netherworld. It is believed that this noisome astral cloud overshadowing Java had its source from the Atlanteans who thousands of years before, settled in the area after the submergence of their homeland. They brought with them their magick and quite a number of their shamans resumed the practice of the black arts, releasing the demons of destruction. Functioning as a white magician, Aji Saka travelled all over the island to carry-out the monumental task of conducting certain rites and burying certain objects at especially selected sites to neutralize these forces, to Solomonically seal them, and to form a protective barrier that would keep other demonic intelligences at bay. His work was reinforced by the presence of Rishi Agastya, the great Seer from India, who came to Indonesia on an occult mission.

What entities encounter while intruding a magickal barrier is quite fascinating. Depending on the method of protection and the techniques employed, physical intruders might come face to face with a veritable firewall, or they might hallucinate the whole area as being on fire. A different magickal programming might cause individuals penetrating the barrier with evil intentions to suddenly find themselves floating in a stormy sea with huge waves crashing upon them. The builders of these barriers are often amused to find intruders in the morning on the floor in their living room going through the motions as though they were swimming for life. We often hear of such reports from the paranormal practitioners in Indonesia and in the mass media.

Sometimes thieves are caught dumbfounded, upon interrogation they reply that they just could not find a way out of the house--no portals of exit were to be found, so no getaway. We can infer from this phenomenon that the magickal force of protection constructed upon a certain area disorients the mind to an intense degree. It is not unlike the natural force that one may encounter upon ley or dragon lines and power spots which often induces an altered state of consciousness, causing one to experience a time lapse, dizziness, encounters with strange beings, enhanced sensitivity to impressions, and other psychic phenomena; however, where an artificial force-field is installed for protective purposes, the magickal barrier set-up by the practitioner is only activated by the negative force unleashed by unwholesome intentions and motives. Thus, under normal conditions, the power is not usually felt. Pertaining to the above, one interesting local belief is that roots of a special formation--triangular in shape with a hollow center--when hung in the house, especially near the doorway, may cause all exits to be overlooked by thieves during their nocturnal excursions.

Some types of protection employ elemental familiars and jinn's Among the local shamans, the familiars often used for the purposes of security are entities presenting themselves in the forms of tigers and hairy giants. These familiars acting as gargoyles, guard the premises from unwanted visitors. Those who are bold and ignorant enough to penetrate the defined area of protection under their jurisdiction, would encounter these protective spirits in their most ghastly, terrible aspect. Rest assured, the protective familiars do not harm intruders physically, they just traumatize their victims and scare the living daylights of them--and they do their job significantly well. If a tiger familiar is employed, sometimes their growls may be heard. The guardian jinn's, in contrast to the elemental familiars, might give subtle warnings to trespassers before appearing as stern, authoritative figures. These warnings may be felt as fear, or pangs in the conscience. These types of spirit guardians also produce visual and auditory hallucinations in the minds of thieves in a manner that they see fit. They might even cause would-be intruders to fail to see the protected house at all!

Above we have stressed what physical intruders might experience in a magickally protected area. What do negative spirit entities experience when they enter or attempt to penetrate such an area? More or less the same thing. They would feel or sometimes literally see whatever thoughtform or entity we employ in the protective process. Magickal barriers of light structured with Divine Names and sacred verses, and imbued with spiritual force are tangible to spirits and may cause them burning sensations as they collide with the occult shield. We have had an interesting experience in this regard : One night, feeling a little psychically uneasy, we decided to protect our room where we slept with a firewall. In the middle of the night, something awoke us and shifted our conscious self to our subtle body.We literally fell, astrally speaking, out of the bed in that state; and on the floor there was lying a menacing-looking entity. Out of reflex action, we gave it some offensive strikes. But it was immobile--either "dead" or unconscious--perhaps the result of colliding with the fire wall. The entity had the form of a crocodile with human legs. In local shamanism, this type of entity is classed as a siluman--a water sprite--specifically a "buaya siluman" (crocodile sprite)--one of the nasty types that are said to drag unwary swimmers or bathers into a watery grave. Near our home is a river and this is probably where it came from. What it was doing in our room we could only speculate. Finding it to be without life, we flung the creature outside of our premises. End of story--or so we thought. The next night we were astrally called to confront a horde of other buaya silumans in the depths of the river. They swam towards us, with legs bent in a certain manner, eager for combat, hoping to avenge the death of their companion. We braced ourselves for the conflict, ever hoping to avoid it, not because of cowardice, but because of boredom and the desire for peace. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a group of dolphins (!) came to engage themselves in the conflict against the silumans, leaving us idle and a little bewildered. The latter quickly dispersed. Ever since that event, we were never troubled by the crocodile-men again.

One night, many years ago, having neglected to put up a barrier, we awoke in our subtle body, to find a snake struggling to make its way into our foot. Our psychic sensitivity announced us to this occurrence. Being only half-way in, we pulled the tail and flung it away without giving it a second thought. Things like these happen often in Indonesia, especially when one practices occultism. Black practitioners are fond of sending such creatures out of malice to harm others, perhaps out of jealousy, and sometimes to simultaneously test the inherent power and occult capabilities of their victim. Sometimes this act is commissioned by a rival in business or an "enemy," with the objective of the physical elimination of the victim. We have known someone who had a similar experience but failed to prevent the snake from entering into his leg, the result was that he walked with a limp until the etheric snake was removed. Our researches through the Net has made us aware that the problem of psychic attack is also widely practiced and experienced among the occult communities of the Occident. Human nature is the same everywhere.

Several years back we had an entity sent to us by a black shaman because of our involvement with the healing process of one of his victims. This entity could not enter our room because of the psychic barrier that we set-up. Outside the barrier it displayed menacing gestures hoping to intimidate us. We thought nothing of it, confident that the fortress around our room was strong enough to withstand its onslaughts, and indeed, after that night it never returned.

Skeptics might consider the above experiences as dreams, delusions, or concoctions of the subconscious mind, nevertheless, they were lucid experiences and a legitimate part of the shamanic reality. Occult practitioners and ordinary laymen, the religious and the non-religious, the pure and the impure, encounter these occurrences quite often. Magick and occult practices are widely found in the Indonesian archipelago. Every tribe and ethnic group have their own brand of magick. Balinese magick differs in form from the Javanese. Sundanese occultism called, "Buhun" also is a magickal system all of its own, just as the tribal magick of the Dayaks in Kalimantan (Borneo) and the shamanism in the Celebes and Sumatra. Encountering occult forces, psychic attacks, black magick etc., are common occurrence in this ancient land believed to be a fragment of the submerged "Lemurian" continent and later an Atlantaen colony. It is, likewise, for no lame reason that some local practitioners believe Indonesia to possess the densest population of nature spirits, jinns, and elementals. It is almost impossible to live one's life here daily without interacting with these entities at some level of awareness or to find oneself unknowingly and involuntarily clashing with some black practitioner or chosen to become a victim of its malediction. Having said the above, we are also aware that the western culture is expanding tremendously its horizons on a wider circle in its perceptual realities of non-physical origins with a more scientific basis and paradigm.

As alluded to above, there are various methods of protecting space with several types of familiars employed, each with their own special way of producing the wanted effect, and degree of efficacy in either warding-off human or spirit entities, or the forces of malediction, psychic attack, and black magick directed to a target. What we are implying is that one method of protection might be effective in shielding-off physical intruders, but not as effective in warding-off negative energies, etc. To optimally protect an area, the magician would probably employ two or three methods, depending upon the circumstances.

The methods employed to protect a defined area may be categorized into five different types:

Protection employing the use of jinns/genies requires one to previously acquire a jinn's/genie familiar and by assigning it the desired task. Magickal protection by the elements make use of thought-forms charged with spiritual, pranic, and elemental energies--mostly of fire and etheric light.. Nature-spirit protection employs the invocation of certain elementals, nature spirits or artificial, constructed servitors. Divine protection employ the recitation of sacred verses, prayers, and Divine Names. The mechanics and nature of the latter method of protection, and the effects that they produce are not normally realized by the practitioner--they produce variable effects sometimes employing the other forms of protection. Succinctly--in this method we simply submit ourselves to the Divine Intelligence, having faith that all is well. Magnetic Protection utilizes cosmic-pranic energies and the thoughtform-building process to produce barriers or servitors. Most methods of protection employ a combination of the above.
