Wards, How come nobody ever seems to mention them here? Options

Hey guys,
I've read people talking about use of the LBRP and such for banishing, but I just found myself wondering; how come I never see people mentioning barriers/wards?

A friend of mine and I were doing some Chaos related stuff a while back; we didn't know about the LBRP at the time, but at one point I came up with a sigil to put up what I envisioned/intended as a brick wall made of blue/white light around the perimeter of my bedroom. At the time, it seemed to work fairly well. I've had nightmares and/or wandering nocturnal presences for most of my life, and that seemed to keep them out for a week or so at least.

Does anyone here recommend the use of such things in addition to more conventional stuff such as the LBRP?

I am in the mist of creating a protection/defense familiar in the form of a dragon. His purpose is to protect me against negative influences. I too suffer from nightmares and spiritual attacks. I’m just hesitant that it’ll suck too much of my energy. I need to make sure it gets it's energy from some source but I'm paranoid it wont do it or understand me or something and I'll just create a parasite that I cant get rid of. Yeah, anyways. . .

why not a real dragon?

well, not a 'dragon' per se, but a reasonable facsimile thereof

those who never saw one would most likely call it a dragon

the pebble path to the green lake awaits your footsteps

hey, you know me, always pushing the entity work!

anyway, what bothers you doesn't return after its eaten

they're a bit vampy for some , feasting on whatever energy you describe as bad

usually tracking it to its source and killing that too

but they are true friends, sometimes across many lives

unless you use or ignore them, then they will turn on you in a heartbeat!

enjoy responsibly,
