After communicating with members, I've realized many of you are doing your AoP wrong. A lot of you are doing only the Returning Curses. Not everything is about curses from the enemy.

Do this daily: Breathe in White-Gold energy. Breathe it into yourself then exhale into your aura, or breathe it directly into your aura, whichever you feel is best for you. Do this a few times until you feel your aura glowing; for those who can't feel energy yet, you will in time. Imagine yourself glowing brightly like the Sun.

Then, begin affirming "I am always safe, secure, protected, fine, and healthy in every way". State this 10 times, or as many times as you would like. Keep breathing in the white-gold energy on your inhale. This will also calm you down if you are having a really stressful time in life, thus enabling you to manage things better.

For those who want to add a mantra, use Surya or Sowilo. Don't use Algiz, because that is specific for protection while using black magick or while under attack. The point of this AoP is to build a basic strong daily AoP that covers everything.

For those who live in poverty or in dangerous areas, expand the affirmation to "I am always safe, secure, protected, fine, and healthy in every way. All my needs are met." This will help your situation a lot.

You can do this first thing in the morning, or before falling asleep at night; and then any other AoP at another time in your day. You can do a shortened version of this if you are lacking time, it can be done in less than a minute with 10 repetitions of the affirmation. Of course it's better to do more and use a mantra, but even a tiny bit done every day will help.

You can use Clear Quartz crystal with this. Just holding quartz immediately strengthens the aura and helps to fill in any holes.

A good nighttime protection is Berkano rune, 18x, or a multiple of 18. Affirmation: "This energy of Berkano is keeping me totally and completely safe and protected in every way, permanently". (Alter this as you see fit.) This will help prevent nightmares and other attacks that may happen in your sleep. (You can use whichever runic language variation you prefer.)

Berkano protection is really good to do at night. Most AoPs use solar energy. It's best to do your main AoP in the morning or afternoon using solar energy, and Berkano at night. You can use Moonstone crystal with this, or Quartz (clear, milky, or snowy).

You can use Hematite for Returning Curses.
