Another witch at my school is most likely going to attack my coven.
I started a small coven with two of my friends at the start of the school year on Mabon. One of the girls who I will call “A”, used to be friends with this one girl who I will call “M”. M turned out to be super manipulative and just an awful person, and actually discovered witchcraft because of A. Now, I am fine with anyone’s path, but M would do things that would only benefit her and is very power hungry. There are other things that happened before that I might go into, but that’s beside the point. A and I put a bind on some of her jewelry so she couldn’t hurt anybody with her magick anymore. Currently, she is likely conscious of her bind, and she has recently threatened my friend A. M has shown interest in things like demons and blood magick, which are things my coven stays far away from. M is mainly targeting A, but M most likely knows by now that I also am a witch. I introduced A to witchcraft about a year ago, and I’ve been doing it for about 3 years now. Any advice for how to protect my coven, and especially A from M?

First, about the demons and blood magic and how you say your “coven stays far away from” that - there are a lot of negative connotations that go along with blood and “demon” work but these two things are a large part of our foundation and history as witches. Also, by doing binding work on M you’re practicing manipulation magic which is likewise viewed by many witches as “bad” or karmicly damning. So I say all that just to say that as witches we shouldn’t pass judgment on each other and the way we practice. Because to each her own right, and honestly kudos to M for being brave enough to explore the darker parts of her roots.
Now. As far as protection magic goes there is a plethora of protection spells and charms you could work. Sometimes simple magic is the best magic in my opinion and that would be mirrors! A mirror reflects, so magically it can be used to reflect anything aimed at you and yours back to whence it came. A nice way to employ the mirror in the situation would be to create protective mirror amulets. I’m sure the arts and craft store Michaels would have cute little mirror pendants you could put on a necklace or pin to your belongings you carry with you to school. So you could enchant the mirrors to repel any harmful energy directed towards you. Also “evil-eye” talismans or “hamsa hands” have always been used to guard against malicious intent.
In hoodoo many conjurerors will dust themselves in crab shell powder to remain safe and reverse any magic directed at themselves.
Sigils can also be powerful magic if you know how to use them and can be drawn on carried items like books / bags / the bottoms of shoes.
One of my favorite and most powerful forms of protection (in my experience) is the use of thought forms. Thought forms are a kind of spirit familiar that is created by the witch and charged with a specific duty or intent. If this is the way you want to go I’d suggest some research first. One book I know I’ve read that’s ok is “create a servitor” by John Kreiter. There’s a lot of information out there though.
