Protection

Within witchcraft, protection is essential in spells. From protecting you from negative entities to protecting you from hexes, curses and jinxes, protection is a great way to keep you safe in your craft!

There are multiple types of protection here which are gonna be covered each and these are as follows; jars, warding, crystals, colours, plants, amulets, talismans, witches ladders, herbs etc.

Jars: Spell jars are a simple and quick way to get a spell done. They require a jar, herbs, a petition paper, and some way to seal the jar (usually candlewax). Heres a recipe for a jar!

Herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Lavender, Salt or black salt, thyme, apple plus a petition paper for stating the intention of protection. Place these into the jar and seal with black candle wax or with any preferred way of sealing.

Warding: Warding probably deserves it's own post but I'll add a few ways to ward and go into more detail in a separate post. Warding is a form of defensive magick which keeps any form negative energy out unless they break. Here are some ways to ward!

Crystals: place crystals above your entry ways and windows to keep negative energy out. Crystal's can also be worn as jewellery or kept upon your person as a personal ward. Scroll down for some examples.

Talismans: Talismans such as the Nazar can be added to your home to ward off the "evil eye". You can also create your own talismans to place around your home.

Salt: Salt can be placed above entry ways and windows in a similar way to crystals to keep the negativity out. Salt can also be used for banishing and cleansing.

Crystals for protection: clear quartz, obsidian, smokey quartz, black tourmaline, amethyst, labradorite, phrenite, onyx, hematite, tigers eye. (This isnt an exhaustive list, theres plenty of protection crystals out there that arent on this little list).

Protective herbs: garden sage, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, black pepper, mugwort, belladonna, lemon, parsley, thyme, mistletoe, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice. (Again, not an exhaustive list, theres thousands of protective herbs and plants out there).

Protection is an important part of any witches practice. It keeps you safe from negative attachments, baneful magick, psychic or spiritual attack etc. Not all witches will use the same methods of protection as it differs from practice to practice. But this is just a little thing to get you started on your research into protection.

Spell Record Worksheet

For people who want to record their spells in a grimoire or elsewhere and enjoy having an outline like I do. This is designed to make it as easy as possible to look back and see what elements may have effected the outcome for better or worse.

✒️Name of Spell: Self-explanatory. ✒️Intent: What do you want to gain from this? What’s the goal? ✒️Time Cast: Date, day of week, moon phase, etc. ✒️Ingredients/Materials Used: Consider adding their relevant correspondences or WHY you chose them in particular. ✒️Actions: What did you do? What did you say? ✒️Notes: Did anything strange or interesting happen while casting? Relevant music come on? Were you interrupted? Are the candles acting weird? Make note. ✒️Outcome: Follow up with the results! Did it work in the way you expected, or do you need to tie up loopholes next time? If it didn’t work, what elements of the spell could be improved?

Don’t wanna send a pic of my alters cuz they are a MESS! But I still wanna talk about this.

Ok so I have an altar for myself and an altar for the deity I worship. My deity altar is on top of a drawer, it has a deity candle in the centre, a box for letters and drawing offerings, a tin box of offerings and a lighter. In the compartment under it is my altar. It’s got herbs, spare string, rocks, a twig that was my wand at some point but snapped in half, a few spells and much more. None of these things cost a lot. And it’s also pretty subtle. A drawer with a candle and two boxes on there? That’s normal. A drawer compartment? That’s also normal. No one has to know about my craft

quick question:

do you guys prefer minimalist altars or over crowded ones?

i just saw a video on youtube from a witch who's altar was very minimal, tidy, expensive looking (they had around 3/4 of those statues of the Gods that cost like $80 each and also a huge deer skull), and overall aesthetically pleasing altar.

it made me kind of insecure about mine because i don't have the money for all those things, and also, my altar contains all the stuff i use the most, not only devotional / worship related things.

feel free to reblog this with pictures of your altars! i'd love to take a look ^^

EDIT: thank you so much to everyone that has reblogged this and gave advice to me! it really has made me feel better. also, your altars look so cool!!!!! i love them all.

Oh no! An autistic witch! I’m so scared! AAAAAAAAAAA /sarc /j

The autistic witch and her evil autism. Muahahahaha. 😈

Most of us are wizards, Harry.

You’re not special, Harry.

You are not a wizard because wizards are fake.

I can neither agree nor disagree with that statement unless you are able to define exactly what you mean by "wizard."

Oh Billy, you look so small right there…

Ello, I’m Nox. I’m new to tumblr, I didn’t move here from twitter, I just wanted to start a blog. Hope I’m welcome here.

I need a to read list to put this in

White sage and palo santo ALTERNATIVES

When cleansing your space, you may be tempted to use white sage or palo santo, they have some good benefits, but they are endangered and also closed practices. 

Here are some alternatives for cleansing!

Lavender- Lavender is my favorite, it can reduce anxiety, it can help with sleep, too! It’s good for concentration and clarity during meditation, as well. 

Cedar- Said to attract positivity and drive away negative energies

Juniper- Good for purification and energizing the mind and body

Mugwort- gets rid of negative energies

Rosemary- general cleansing, has strong masculine energy

Cinnamon- good for psychic abilities 

Peppermint- helps with clarity

Essential oil diffusers- Essential oil diffusers are good for humans, BAD FOR PETS!!!

Crystals- As long as you and your pets aren’t eating them, crystals are a great alternative to smoke and diffusing oils.

Sound- Sound bowls, instruments, and clapping can all cleanse your space!!

Meditation- Just meditate with the intention of cleansing your space. Make sure you aren’t soaking up the negative energy, though

Hope this helps!
