Sure. But it’s up to that someone else to accept that protection. (Free will, sovereignty and all that, you know?)

Go with the attitude - “I WILL have a connection with Chandi” and you will 
Long ago, when I threw a temper tantrum at the Goddess and complained that she was not making her presence felt often, she said, “I am always there, my grace is always flowing - you sometimes choose to receive it and other times, block yourself from it”. The cleaner the mirror of the mind, the brighter is the light of Divine Grace that shines on it. Every time you meditate, listen to Sapien audios, you are essentially clearing this mirror, stilling the mind, raising the vibration - it just takes perseverance.
And do not underestimate the capability of the Divine (aka Yourself) to pleasantly surprise you
A nice piece by Bokar Rinpoche on Deities.
The doctrine of Emptiness is the operative that remains as the underlying principle of the Buddhist Tantric approach to deities or dēvatās. This Tantric practice of deity yoga (dēvatā yōga), which culminates in identification and merging with the envisioned deity, dispels any view of the deities as concrete entities essentially separate or different from the practitioner. The emptiness of the deities, like the concept of emptiness itself, is a nuanced metaphysical view that easily lends itself to misinterpretation. This subtle teaching regarding the impermanence and interdependence of all phenomena is commonly mistaken for Nihilism, a denial of any existence whatsoever. Thus, some western thinkers conclude that the deities are unreal or nonexistent in an absolute sense, interpreting their emptiness as non-reality. According to this misconstrued view, the deities do not exist in any sense, except as human inventions or useful tools for spiritual development.
However, deities are not illusions produced by the human mind; though human envisionments of deities are mental fabrications that do not correspond precisely to the forms of these deities. In that sense, a deity can be said to be a creation of the human psyche. This illusory status, however, holds true only of the human concept and image of a deity, not of the deity himself or herself. The deities are realities that transcend this world and spontaneously assume various forms to benefit beings. Religious practice is an interaction between deity and devotee that invokes protection, assistance, blessings, and eventually the revelation of the deity.
Human envisionments of deity, as in the practice of deity yoga, offer a means to approach the deity and eventually to attain a direct vision of the deity’s divine form in all its glory and living reality. When deity and practitioner merge in the culmination of deity yoga, and their identities dissolve into one, it is not because the deity was unreal all along but because the practitioner has entered the radiant, blissful realm of non-dual awareness the deity inhabits. Moreover, the practitioner comes to recognize that the qualities of the deity were already present in a dormant state in his or her own being, waiting to be awakened.
The Buddhist perspective is that the deities are not simply the products of human intellect and imagination, although their appearance is molded in accordance with human aesthetic preferences, conceptual categories, and spiritual capacities. Rather, the deities are spiritually advanced and enlightened beings who command an array of super-normal abilities and insights into reality that they employ in order to liberate others. Further, these deities are not merely symbols of the qualities they embody, nor are they inventions of human imagination or convenient fictions or tools for human spiritual growth. The powers they grant, the protection they offer, and the blessings they bestow are tangibly real. The practices associated with them – mantras, ritual, meditation, deity yoga – are genuinely efficacious and transformative.
It is also not enough simply to concede that deities are “just as real as humans”, for deities are supernal beings of immense temporal duration whose existence is not subject to the ordinary laws of cause and effect. They will themselves into existence and operate from transcendent planes of bliss and awareness for as long as their presence may benefit living beings. Thus, there is a sense in which the deities are “more real” than humans, for the illusions and suffering that characterize human life are ephemeral phenomena, whereas the wisdom and compassion impelling the deities are irreducible elements of reality.

@Maoshan_Wanderer I recently got this audio and played it for the past three days. I do feel I instantly got the connection with the Goddess. Whenever I have a question while playing the audio, there’s this soothing voice in my head (which sounds like a gentler version of me) giving me the right answer. At first I thought it’s just me. But I never got the answers at any other time. Only while playing this piece. So it must be the Goddess. It feels like it’s coming from within because we are one (like the article on dieties says) with the Divine if we leave the ego behind.

Sorry, missed your message earlier. The mantra she recited was the famous Chandi Navakshari (nine-lettered Chandi mantra), which is very very strong. We usually recommend mantras of wrathful deities like Kali, Chandi, Bhairava, etc., only after mastering the preparatory practices. Generally in classical mantra work, there are three stages: pre-practices, actual practice, and post-practice, along with a host of protective techniques. It is best to be cautious and prepared before invoking wrathful archetypes directly

So grateful to have an aligned voice (to the tantras) here. Maybe its the wrong thread, but im interested to hear how the fields fit into the path/view for you… Do you consider them more bogha as opposed to moksha?

The Deity/Archetype tool is available for both Bhoga (pleasure, material wealth, etc.) or Moksha (enlightenment). It is the attitude of the user which determines our path
Vedanta or other similar paths ask us to pick one or the other - in Tantra, we don’t exclude either.
It is said:
yatrāsti bhōgō nahi tatra mōkṣaḥ
yatrāsti mōkṣō nahi tatra bhōgaḥ |
śrīsundarīsādhanatatparāṇāṁ
bhōgaśca mōkṣaśca karastha ēva ||
“Where there is material pleasure, there is no spiritual enlightenment. And where the focus is on spiritual enlightenment, there is no room for sensory pleasures. But for those that adore Sundari (here refers to Tripurasundarī, the highest archetype of the Goddess in Tantras), both material comfort and spiritual enlightenment are achieved naturally and easily”.
The reason for that is the perspective of Tantra which does not believe in good vs bad, negative vs positive, profane vs sacred, etc. Everything is an extension of the Goddess and everything can be used as a tool for spiritual upliftment, including emotions, and sensory pleasures.
Let us take the example of the Shatachandi field. We can intend to align the energies any which way we want, be it for curing diseases, achieving wealth, protection from humans and/or entities, etc., or for enlightenment, purification, discernment, etc. I personally prefer the path of “Nishkama Karma” at this stage - where I just invoke the Goddess and leave it to her all-knowing Self (aka my own Self) to do what is best for me at this moment in time
This is reflected in the actual fire ritual of Chandi itself (which the field simulates/automates) - every ritual is preceded by a step called Sankalpa - where the performer explicitly states the objective of the ritual. Some examples are:
- sarvarōganivr̥ttyarthē (for the purpose of removing all diseases)
- apamr̥tyunivāraṇārthē (to prevent untimely death)
- sarvaiśvaryasiddhyarthē (to achieve all forms of wealth)
- grahabādhānivāraṇārthē (to remove affliction caused by entities including ghosts, demons, imps, stars and planets, etc.)
- sarvābhicāraśamanārthē (to remove the ill effects of spells, black magic, etc.)
For spiritual purposes, we typically use:
- dēvyabhēdasiddhyarthē (to become one with the Goddess to realize our own Self as Her effulgent, enlightened presence)
- advayāvasthābhivr̥ddhyarthē (to achieve the state of non-duality)
- sarvapāpakṣayārthē (to burn away sins and karma that hold us back)
- brahmabhāvasiddhyarthē (to achieve the state where one sees the Goddess as the self, and as the self of every aspect of creation), etc.
So, state your intention, and then listen and wait for the magic to happen

What an incredible answer, thanks for adding this missing piece for me. I think where I have been confusing myself is the exact thing I love about this path of the Kaula/Trika… that there is no good or bad, just the goddess. I think I was tending towards some masochism maybe in a way lol Like I have to accept and digest all that comes my way. In short, I felt deep down, that using fields was trying to manipulate life, therefore clinging and aversion. Maybe if I can accept more of the goodness hey?..

Oh Mother Chandi 
I havent listened to her for like 3 months probably.
Not that i dont want, but the last few times i did i felt she asked me for something i havent done (fully yet) 
So i was just waiting to finish it up.
Anyway i had a big issue yesterday with some clients that bought in Nov last year, they are back at the Property and didnt get what they were expecting (not my fault) i tried to solve it yesterday but i could not, so they were coming into the office today to cancel that purchase 
which would translate to also me getting a charge back for the commissions i got last year 
And on top of that coming into the office with the intention of getting me fired (i had already actually embraced that happening since some of you have already read my comments about not being the happiest at work just like staying there until i decide what next or until all its ready for me to leave… i was last night like uhm thanks Right of Passage i guess? Haha pushing me forward from the last part of what i should have already left behind? shrugs )
But who wants to be fired still? Specially when it wasnt your fault… no one i think. Tho financially it would actually be better getting fired from this particular Company.
Anyway… today since i woke up all i thought about was Shatachandi… i immediately knew she was who my heart wanted to call in for Intercession so i did, i meditated a little bit and just said to her “i dont know what to ask you exactly because i dont even know what would be best and i know it cant be fixed so… just need you with Me, and that whatever the outcome today… any outcome at all… be it the best for ME” its all i need.
I played it on loop even tho i know i dont need to but i wanted her right next to Me through and through.
They came in… they surprisingly were nice to Me lol yesterday she would have pulled my eyes out through the phone if she could have, but insteas she was calm, just told me they dont see the benefits etc blah blah, talked to my boss, didnt say a thing about me, just the facts which we couldnt solve etc…
The contract guy gave me a paper for them to sign, in that paper the date of the purchase is there, contract number, amount of money to reimburse, my name lol their names and reasons why they dont want to buy the Upgrade features for their original place thats it.
Sign and todays date…
So here is the last unbelievable thing that only because of Chandi happened…
In my Company, if you make a sale and they cancel after 3 months, you dont get charged back, but if its before 3 months yeah you gotta pay back the commisions right away and an extra fee.
In my records they purchased the 25th of Nov so it was 2.5 months ago… i was 100% sure id get the charge back next week.
When i took the paper signed by all of Us back to the Contracts guy who is the person that would authorize payments or charges etc i noticed the paper said
Purchase date 25th of Oct 
and i told him!!!
I said omg the date is wrong, it was the 25th of Nov… and he was like … nah whatever its ok leave it like that im gonna send it like that. 
That has never happened like ever. Forgive that? Nope.
i better finish that something she wants hehe

Are we supposed to follow the rules and regulations of doing a real yagna while playing this?
No.
Thats the beauty of this gift.
However when it comes to Deities specially Chandi 
is good to show respect in whatever way you see it suiting.

Adding this as a testimonial. There is a reason that Chandi is described as “Daityaranyadavanala” - “the incinerating fire of consciousness that burns completely the forest of demons”. One of the many many applications of this field.
