Protection 101

PROTECTION Is The MOST IMPORTANT PART OF PRACTICING THE CRAFT! When you decide to delve into these subjects you are agreeing to engage with timelines, events, and entities heard/unheard felt/unfelt seen/unseen. You MUST cultivate a regular practice of protection. Especially as a newbie.

PROTECTION METHOD #1: PRAYER. Get into it. Prayer doesn’t have to look like the way your granny did it or that annoying deacon who always overdid it in the pulpit. It’s a personal conversation with God, Spirit, The Divine, Your Highest Self. Don’t overthink it just talk out loud

PROTECTION METHOD #2: BIBLE VERSES The Bible is filled with Gems that offer protection. PSALMS and PROVERBS in general are the most popular books for protection spells. Simply reciting them can be a very powerful way to ward off evil and keep you covered in protection. Psalms 91 is THAT GIRL

PROTECTION METHOD #3 SALT : Baby, salt is an age old method of protection. It’s why we use it on food. TO MAINTAIN. Salt is used to ward evil off and also call blessings in I know Archangel Michael loves it is it’s a red candle but it can be used in , and environments

PROTECTION METHOD #4 CRYSTALS: I love crystals. For protection it’s always a great idea to go Dark. These crystals are great at picking up the energy of the environment and lightening things up for you. Black tourmaline, smoky quartz, numite, selenite, jet and black obsidian and shungite are among my favorite!

PROTECTION METHOD #5 OILS/COLOGNES: A great way I protect myself daily is with protective oils. I put them on my chakras and the back of my neck to keep anything from getting on me throughout the day as I travel and deal with wretched humans. High John, Frankincense, Fiery Wall of Protection, and Dragons Blood are THE BUSINESS. There’s also essential oils to consider such as cedar wood, eucalyptus, rose. Please dilute them but also feel free to put them in your diffuser as well

PROTECTION METHOD #6 INCENSE: I am a lover of fire so incense comes natural to me. I enjoy burning frankincense, dragonsblood, copal, cinnamon, Palo Santo. Burning sage clears out everything so I use it sparingly with a strong fiery wall blessed with cascarilla to bless my space.

PROTECTION METHOD #7 FOOD/HERBS: Taurus Moon here I love using food to protect myself. Onion and garlic are my faves for flavor and keeping my safe from pestilence and evil. Also, mugwort is great, white willow bark, St. John’s wort, rose, okra, limes/lemons, High John Root

PROTECTION METHOD #8 CANDLE MAGIC: A proud fire witch I am I love me some flames in my magic. This allows me to combine all the previously mentioned methods into a full ritual. I prefer to use a white candle for protection spells but some use black or blue or red WITH INTENTION

P..S. INTENTION IS EVERYTHING AND PROTECTION IS REGULAR If you’re going to practice you MUST do all your work with the highest and clearest of intentions. If protection is done with regularity you will be able to maintain an overall safe experience within your practice.
