Quick idea I had and need to note down before I forget it:

a witch bottle designed not to harm the incoming energies (like most witch bottles seem to be with their nails, thorns and black pepper) or block them (like the protective witch bottles I’ve seen with rosemary and basil), but filter and transmute.

Somebody throwing bad luck at you? Great, you’re giving me energy, I’ll filter it and change it into a blessing. 

“When life gives you lemons” sort of idea, inspired by a post I’ve seen floating around about that witches shouldn’t ground bad energy, but filter it and transmute it, because earth only can take as much negative. 

I know that she doesn’t like to divulge the details of her personal shielding, but I know @necromouser does something similar to this, so perhaps she’d like to chime in?

I went and hunted down on my blog the lil visual of how my wardings are set up. I call it a mirror blessing because it bounces back bad energy, and works as a filter to only let in good energy. 

Like so. Mouse (me) is just chilling with my pizza when some coconut decides to try and send a curse my way. 

The black line is the mirror. It is rigid and doesn’t bend. The white part is all rubbery and porous when something hits it, it tries to filter it…

When something hits the ward, that black rigid line, the mirror, breaks, falling inward. That black line is encoded to act as a blessing when it breaks. Meanwhile if the energy sent to me does not pass my filters (which i legit have written in my grimoir as an if/then/else statement. if this item fits my defition of morally good, then it can pass through, else it gets sent back. i also have detailed my definition of good in the footnotes of the spell). If it doesn’t pass my moral test, it’s sent back like

plus i get a nice little blessing cuz of how i have the black line “coded.” it passes by default because it’s “good” by my definition.

I also have it set so people can’t attempt mask it as a blessing, cuz I’m petty and I would do that so I prepare for all that nonsense. It has very specific coded in acceptable queries it will allow to pass or else it will just bounce back. There is no gray allowance in them. As much as I hate moral black and white thinking, I’ve had to set them up this way for ultimate protection.
