I had turned my amulet into a protection piece, bound it in black ribbon while stating my intention. Long story short, I said that this amulet will shield me from all negative energy so long as I am wearing it. I also have a protection sigil in my room and in my bag.
Last night when I took off the amulet before going to bed, within five minutes of removing it, I felt a heavy, overwhelming wave of energy. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Anxiety. I put it back on, and this feeling faded very quickly.
