I was wondering if anyone knew some good incantations or spells for me. I had two different necklaces. One of them sported my amethyst, a small metal rose and a pearl (probably fake, but a gift from my sister). The other sported yin (my fiance wears a yang) and a small skeleton key. Both of these necklaces were infused with my energies and those of my fiance and my kids. This kept me safe. The only other power item I have infused is my tarot deck. I bought a bag of stones, but haven't yet infused them.
Well, the wire that holds my amethyst has snapped, and I don't have a way to secure it so I can wear it again. I have also misplaced the other necklace and I'm trying to find it.
Since I've been unable to wear my amulets, I ran something over, possibly concrete, which bent the rim and caused us to replace a tire, I was nearly in a wreck with another car, I am losing my oldest daughter in a custody change because her father now wants to keep her, I have no car a/c in the middle of summer, I am unable to get work, which means soon we will be completely broke... and I'm now afraid to go anywhere, especially by myself. I'm afraid something much worse will happen.
Do any of you have any ideas for what I can do to keep myself, and my kids, safe? They would have had amulets themselves if they were old enough to understand the importance, and outgrown their current destructive trait.

No offense, but the loss of an amulet isn't what's causing these things to happen. Something as big as losing your child wouldn't be stopped by simply wearing a necklace, nor would a car accident.
Instead of worrying over finding these charms to "fix" things, maybe you should look at the reality of your situation.
You can't find work because of the economy, like so many other people. This is more than likely the deciding factor in your custody battle. If you can't support yourself, you can't support your family and the court is going to view you as financially unfit. Obviously you can't fix your AC because you're pretty much broke and having to fix/replace one tire wouldn't seem like such a horrible thing if you had a job and the money for it.
I don't mean to be mean or rude, I just think you need to look at the reality of it, rather than blaming it on the loss of an amulet. Seems to me like you're using it as a crutch. All of these things are up to you rectify, no amulet can replace the power of free will and action.

Some thing can't be solved with magic.
I agree with Dragoness.

All of these things are up to you rectify, no amulet can replace the power of free will and action. I think of the reality of it everyday. Nobody wants to hire me because I'm two years out of work now. The rest, yes, would have been prevented, or at least of a lesser degree, had I been wearing one of my necklaces, or had it on my person. It's not the amulets themselves, it's the energies that we've put into them. Especially my fiance. He is a natural born black warlock. If he is not with me, I have these things that he has charged for me. Honestly, I don't care if you believe it or not. I do. My fiance's power keeps me safe, and has kept me safe since I met him 4 years ago. And I am ALWAYS careful when I am out driving or just out and about. Especially when I have my kids with me. I just like to have the safety net of his power.

I'm saying maybe you should stop using it as a crutch and start working on these things for yourself. It's up to you to take charge of your life, not sit around and hope your fiancee's "powers" will keep you safe. Nothing you have said thus far makes me believe you are viewing this in a realistic light. It is exactly this attitude is going to cause you to lose your child.

Okay, well arguing and being negative isn't going to help anything either. Obviously she is seeing the reality of her situation, or she wouldn't be so worried about all of this.
Now I must say, as far as losing your child goes, 1. you need to fight much much harder in your custody battle and prove to the judge it would be better with her living here.
2. I just lost my job and can't find work either, and since I'm new to the whole working thing, it's hard for me to get a job as well.
3. Car accidents are going to happen, that can't be avoided.
Things happen for a reason, however, what you should do is a cleansing ritual for your home and for yourself, to help ease your nerves, because negative energy will not help anyone. Next, do lots and lots of meditating and such to keep yourself calm and focused. The amulets will be replaced when they are meant to, and until then, burn some incense, or candles, maybe some sage now and then to help you out. This might be your best options.

I think her best options would include working on finding a job. There are plenty of online places to look that will mail you things to assemble, for example. It's not much, but it's something.
Having seen a good bit of custody battles, me being in the middle of one of them, simply fighting for it isn't enough. If you can't support the child then the court isn't going to care how much you want to keep him/her.
Being worried doesn't make one realistic. If she honestly thinks that the only reason she's losing her kid is because she lost an amulet then she needs to open her eyes because that continued way of thinking isn't going to help her in any way.

I agree with SoA Girl, things happen for a reason and there is a certain amount of work that you have to do yourself. Being negative isn't going to help and I hate to see so much negativity in people's lives and this guild. I have my own jewelry and tattoos that I have because they symbolize certain aspects of my life and they give me comfort and perhaps even a little protection at times. After all isn't that why we infuse our jewelry? To give us some extra comfort and protection. Although I think sometimes when our jewelry breaks or goes missing it is a sign that we need to move on to a new piece of jewelry as we grow and change and our paths grow and change. Given time you will have your charm again. Until that time, like the post above there are other things you can do but number one is to work for what you want and need and work hard for it.

I am working on finding a job. Actually the hardest part about getting a job is I am the only one available or willing to watch my younger two children. Most of the 'assemble this' jobs are scams. I've also tried working from home telemarketing. That didn't work either. My younger two are very young and require a lot of my attention. I'm not fighting for my oldest. She's already told me it's what she wants. So that's a moot point anyway. Yes I'm sad and I want to keep her, but it's what she wants. I didn't mean that everything happened just because I lost my amulet, you make me sound like a naive imbecile. It helps to have it. Of course I have problems the amulet isn't going to fix. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs and I hate every minute of it. What the amulet DOES do for me, is prevent harm and things happening that make everything else worse. It also gives me a measure of comfort, which in turn boosts my confidence. Thanks so much for your opinions. I'll deal without.

Out of curiosity, why did you get so wrapped up in what this one person was saying, that you pretty much completely ignored what myself and Underworld were saying. You wanted advice and we gave you good sound advice. That's not very polite at all. And once again, I go back to the negativity factor on both yours and Dragoness's part...it doesn't help anything.

I'm not trying to be negative, I was simply reading it and taking it the way it was written. That might not be what she meant, but that is what she said. I was simply trying to point out the truth of the situation when it seemed her judgement/view of her problems was clouded. I'm sorry, Sakura, but that is what you said, don't get mad at me or put words in my mouth for taking what you wrote at face value. Quote: Since I've been unable to wear my amulets... The fact that you related all of these events to the loss of your amulets makes it look like you blame that fact. neutral

My apologies. I appreciate the attempts. I did not get what I was asking for, but it doesn't matter since I've been made to sound like an idiot, mostly on my own.
I do take steps to keep myself and my kids safe. I take steps to try to rectify my situation, which results in me being seen as a selfish b***h by my family and my fiance's family. I've tried asking for the help I need to do these things and I've tried begging, neither of which have done anything. I need a job, and I can't get a job unless I know my kids are being taken care of when I'm not there, and that's not happening. I've been told that if my fiance isn't making enough money, that's not my problem. It is my problem if it's going to hurt my kids. Still, I'm not just sitting at home being a housewife and mother. I write stories, and once I can figure out how to sell them, that's what I'll do. It may not be much, but I am trying.

Now that is something I can help with, I am a self-published author so I have gone through that process. The are a lot of factors when trying to get published that can prevent a good book from being published. It depends on the agent, publisher, what the publisher wants at the time, etc. Most of these things are beyond your control. Now if you go to self-publish, just make sure that someone proofreads everything very well. Createspace.com is a reliable site and it is run and owned by amazon.com so as soon as you publish you can sell on amazon. Pending the few weeks it takes to get everything set up. Zamzar.com can be used to convert your files to pdf, in case you can't do it on your computer. Which the book has to be in pdf for the book version, not for the kindle. After all that is done spread the word on facebook or whatever social network you are on and look into local bookstores or a store that fits with your book.
But as for what you were asking for, I don't really know what answer you would have expected from all of us.

Try going to garage sales and finding pieces of furniture cheap, or free. It's extremely easy to remove old varnish or whatnot and re-stain it. It's an easy way to make a bit of money on the side.

SoA, thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I've never learned how to properly cleanse myself or my home, or to meditate properly.
Dragoness, thank you. I will try that. Sorry about arguing, it just seemed unfair for you to bash something I truly believe in.
Priestess, thank you for the sites. I am looking into them now. smile
I was asking for incantations, like you would use to cleanse or smudge your home. Maybe even a mantra you sometimes use to mentally boost or prepare yourself. I do have books, but I don't really trust the contents, and what I learned previously hasn't worked for me.
