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.
It is true that it’s possible to have too heavy protection - on a daily basis, but I will say that there is a time and place for it. I kind of equate it to walking around with full bullet-proof armor on a daily basis vs. regular clothing. While bullet-proof armor is great to have in a time of great danger, it’s not necessary on a daily basis.
So I wouldn’t have necessarily weakened that amulet. If it were me personally, I would’ve crafted a new one with a gentler spell. Not saying that you’re going to need protection that strong (at least, I hope not) but having that option never hurts lol. If you were in a situation of grave supernatural danger, you might be grateful that you have it.
