Hyssop flowers and leaves are often used in purification rights, but in addition this herb has also been used in protection ceremonies and for healing along with another very powerful protection herb-elder flower. To ensure the safety and health of your pet, make an incense of hyssop and elder flowers. Once the incense has begun to burn, allow the smoke to surround the animal and visualize any illness or potential harmful events being carried away from the pet with the smoke. Once the smoke dissipates, you can place small silver bells or other items that represent protection on their collar. Remember that many animals fear smoke and you should try to keep your animal relaxed during this ceremony.
