If parents or guardians feel their
home is haunted or that their child has encountered a ghost the supervising
adult can create a special “amulet” to protect their child.
Children are easier targets
for ghosts for several reasons. They are still innocent and have not been
programmed yet by society, television, films or their parents that they should
be wary of ghosts. * Most children do not even realize ghosts exist.
This innocence makes them
more susceptible to being visited by a ghost.

One simple way to protect a
child is to make angels with them. Gather together items such as, construction
paper, markers, glue, glitter, sequins, pipe cleaners or any other items that
can be used to adorn the angels.
Cut out the angels--at least four angels should be made. As the adult helps the child decorate their angels talk to them about God or any “higher power”
that the family believes in.
This is not magic--it just
allows the adult to infuse the angels with good energy in order to protect the child.
After these angels are made they can be sprinkled with holy water, olive oil,
or sea salt--this step is left to the comfort level of the adult.

The final step is to help the
child hang these angels around the room they sleep in. One can be placed on
their headboard, another at the foot of their bed. Place one outside their
bedroom door and one on their closet door.
You may choose to make even
more angels and continue to hang them. The reason for this activity is not only
to make your child “feel safe” but also to protect them from negative entities.
Debi Chestnut in her book
entitled, How To Clear Your Home of
Ghosts & Spirits recommends the activity above. She has used these
angels to protect her own grandchildren from spirits that were bothering them
during the night.
* Not all ghosts are
negative--most are benign or neutral in nature but when it comes to children it
is always best to be cautious.
