SHIELDING YOUR SPACE: Wards and Protection for Beginners

Shielding Your Space: Simple Wards and Protection Spells

Life can get messy. From unexpected bills to negative people, we all encounter situations we'd rather avoid. While we can't control everything, there are practices that can help us create a sense of security and deflect negativity. Enter the realm of wards and protection spells!

What are Wards and Protection Spells?

Wards and spells are tools used in many cultures to create a protective barrier. They can be used to safeguard a physical space, a person, or even an object. While some spells are elaborate affairs, there are plenty of easy-to-do options for beginners.

Simple Ward Ideas:

  • Salt Line: Salt has long been associated with purification. Create a line of salt around your doorway or windowsills to ward off negativity.

  • Crystals: Certain crystals like black tourmaline, amethyst, smokey quartz, and black obsidian are believed to possess protect properties. Keep a crystal in your pocket, purse, doorways, or other corners or your spaces.

  • Protective Herbs: Certain herbs like rosemary, basil, and lavender are believed to possess protective properties. Hang bundles near doorways or windows, or place them in sachets you carry with you.

  • Mirrors for Reflection: Strategically placed mirrors are thought to reflect negativity back to its source.

Casting a Basic Protection Spell

  1. Cleanse Your Space: Light a cleansing incense like sage or sandalwood to clear negativity.

  2. Focus Your Intent: Visualize a white light surrounding yourself or the space you wish to protect.

  3. Speak Your Words: You can use a simple chant or write a personal affirmation. Here's an example: "I surround myself with white light, a barrier to negativity. Only positive energy shall enter."

  4. Ground Yourself: Touch the ground or clasp your hands firmly to connect your energy with the earth.

Remember: Wards and spells are most effective when combined with positive intention and action. If you're feeling stressed or unsafe, take practical steps to address the root cause.

Additional Tips:

  • Intuition is Key: Trust your gut feeling when choosing wards or crafting spells.

  • Natural Materials: Many effective wards and spells utilize items found in nature. The Craft Shoppe has got you covered for any other tools you may need:)

  • Respect and Safety: Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid using herbs or practices that can be harmful.

Disclaimer: It's important to acknowledge that wards and spells are not a replacement for common sense or professional help. If you're experiencing serious threats or negativity, seek guidance from a trusted source.
