The novel Dracula was first published on this day in 1897. Since we often deal with energy vampires, here’s a spell to reclaim your energy. Gather these supplies:

1 orange candle

Citrus incense or essential oil

A small bowl of water

2 stones

Sit comfortably where you won’t be disturbed. Light the candle. Light the incense or anoint yourself with the essential oil. Dip your fingers in the water, then hold one stone in each palm.

Follow your breath.

With each exhale, imagine the energy vampire’s tentacles detaching from your aura. When you feel free and serene, take three full breaths.

Now, as you inhale, imagine the energy of earth, air, fire, and water restoring the energy of spirit, replenishing your energy, and forming a shield against future energy vampires. Continue until you feel refreshed.

Ground and center. Bury the stones in your yard or a pot of earth. Let the candle and incense burn out safely.
