Little Protection Spell?

So... I made a little spell or ritual, please explain which it is for me, thanks! And um, I wanted some feedback? Is there anything else you think I could use? Such as a symbol for my candles, maybe burn a piece of paper, ect.? This will probably be my first spell, and yes, I have a backup plan should it backfire. But yah, any suggestions?

So, I shall start the spell/ritual! Again, explain which it is? I belive it is a ritual, because I'm casting a circle and whatnot... but I could be wrong(:

"Hail, great Guardians of the East, Autocrat Air. You breathe life into us from the very first moments after birth until we return to the Earth. Guide me now with your un-imaginable intelligence as I cast forth my spell. *light candle*
Hail, great Guardians of the South, Pharaoh Fire. You keep us warm on our coldest days, and light our ways on our darkest nights. Keep me protected with your great strength as I work magick. *light candle*
Hail, great Guardians of the West, Countess Water. Without you, all life would cease to exist. You keep us moving and smiling. Guide me now with your amazing wisdom as I ask for protection. *light candle*
Hail, great Guardians of the North, Emperor Earth. From you, we are born. And to you, we shall return. You keep us steady and nurse us throughout our days. Protect me with your magickal instincts as I show my true desires. *light candle*
Hail, great Guardians of All, Sovereign Spirit. All life, essence, is pointless without you. You exist in everything, and nothing. Keep my intentions pure throughout this night's practice." *light candle*

"O, Great Goddess, I call to thee,
help keep negative energies from getting to me.
Let your Fire keep me faithful,
let your Water keep me wise,
may your Earth keep me stready,
and your Air open my eyes.
Keep me protected in your loving hand,
whether I lay, sit, or stand.
And keep this protection hidden deep inside,
this beautiful necklace, I have provided.

So mote it be, and Blessed Be."

And then I dismiss the elements and whatnot. I plan on offering something to the elements and Goddess for their service, though I'm not sure what yet. So yah. By the way, if it helps, I'm "enchanting" so to speak, my pentacle necklace, to protect me. Any feedback? What so ever?

i think it may be a ritual, i could be wrong, but i think it is because of the way you are doing the steps, by the way, good job on the phrasing of the ritual, that will greatly help you as you do it, just remember to put emotion with it, don't just say it, any way, good luck, i hope everything works out for you.

It sounds like a small ritual, because you greets the elements. A ritual can continue for hours or days. And you ask for protection by your goddess , That is the spell.

So, Zeizzie999, I'm not sure if you're telling me it's a spell or ritual :/

But thanks guys! :D

no I said that It is a ritual, but the ritual contains a spell. It goes hand in hand. Its up to you how you want to organize the ritual, the ritual makes the spell more specified and safe.

Hm... okay. So, what can I offer to the elements? Keep in mind I am a teen, and don't have access to wine and whatnot.

Mmm... I was thinking apple juice, because apples are the "fruit of knowledge" and Air tends to be connected with intelligence, right?

But yah, other than that, I'm clueless. Anything else I could offer?

Today I offered purple flowers, bread, wine and spices to the fire element, in exchange for energy. You can boil the wine, or you can buy alcoholfree wine. but apple juice are fine too. And yes the air element stands for intelligence, positive energy, action and communication.

Honestly i don't think it matters what you call it, and yes apple juice would be a good substitute for wine.
