Note: This article is written from the perspective of historical occult studies, magical theory, and modern neo-pagan practices. It is intended for informational and entertainment purposes. In the shadowy corridors of esoteric history, few concepts are as misunderstood, misrepresented, or as powerful as Virgin Protection Magic .

Because it relies on the state of "untouched" potential, the moment the magic successfully stops a major attack (a hex, a ghost, a burglar with ill intent), the magic is no longer "virgin." It has touched an enemy.
