During our busy lives, we forget to bless our cars, bicycles, and other means of transport that we use daily. A blessing can help to deflect accidents, mechanical problems, and/or general disgruntled feelings when using them.

Using a smudge bundle or incense stick of purifying herb or oil, wave the incense smoke inside and out, around and over, your car or transportation vehicle. While doing this, visualize white light expanding from the smoke and becoming one with the vehicle. Never leave incense burning inside a car.

When finished, put out the incense and hold your hands against the vehicle. Say, "I bless you in the name of the Goddess and God. May those who use you always be safe and protected."

Before you begin any trip with your vehicle, you can re-energize and strengthen this blessing by visualizing the car being circled three times with a sword of light. If you like, you can hang a bag of protection herbs or a magical symbol inside or on your vehicle. Repeat the blessing whenever you feel strength weakening.
