Protection Spell

Protection Spell 

Purpose:

This Protection Spell is designed to shield everything from the caster, their loved ones, or even their belongings from harm. This harm could be physical, emotional, or spiritual in nature. Protection spells may aim to ward off negative energy, ill intentions, or specific threats. The specific form and purpose of this protection spells can vary greatly depending on the tradition and the individual practitioner's needs. Just remember that it's all about intent and you also need to be specific in who or what you want to be protected when saying your chant/prayer. 

Ingredients:

• Sea salt or Himalayan salt
• Black candle
• Protective herbs (e.g., rosemary, sage, or lavender)

Instructions:

1.) Begin by casting a circle and invoking the elements for protection.

2.) Light the black candle, visualizing its flame as a beacon of protection.

3.) Take a handful of salt and sprinkle it around the perimeter of your sacred space, forming a protective barrier. 

4.) As you sprinkle the salt, chant a protective incantation, such as:

"Salt of Earth, protect (who or what you want to protect, i.e. yourself, your home, etc.),
Ward off harm, keep evil at bay.
By the power of salt, I seal this place,
Shielded and guarded, night and day."

5.) Once the circle is complete, extinguish the candle and thank the elements for their protection.
