A Sorcerous Defence Against Malevolent Spirits, discussion on sorcerous self defence Options

ok, so I became intrigued by another post and have been unable to shake the idea of starting this thread mainly because I wish to see what others believe would be a good defence against malevolent spirits should you find yourself being thrown in a position that rituals are unable to be performed.

Um....er...I thought that I was somewhat clear on that. The Pentagram/Hexagram rituals require just yourself. Breathing and grounding, the same. Drawing an auric circle about you will offer you enough protection until you can get to some salt and water...again, this doesn't require any tools. Become conversant with basic energy manipulation (through Tai Chi, pranayama, meditation, magical practise). Did I mention practise? PRACTISE! Utilize your creative visualization. Beyond that...I can't do the work for you. Create a 'servitor' for protection. (I think that this as a secondary line of defense...) Face it...you aren't going to be able to fling fireballs or lightning bolts. You've delineated the playing field...these are your options. You can bring about a 'circle' within heartbeats and/or you can always RUN AWAY! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/compress.gif)
