Green witchy's Altar

A guide to Protection part 2

The moon is waning so what better time to do protection spells than now? (you can do protection magick whenever, I just like a little boost from the moon phase)

In my previous post I covered some warding methods and now I’m gonna go over some spell recipes

Protection oil

honestly, chef’s kiss, iconic, it’s probably my most used oil. You may apply some on your skin, anoint candles, talismans, charms, etc.

what you’re gonna need:

a carrier oil of your choice. Here are some of my favorites :

castor oil is great for absorbing negativity

coconut oil has protective properties

olive oil is an all purpose oil

sunflower oil

almond oil

essential oils:

some great essentials oils are lemon, peppermint, sage, frankincense, orange, cinnamon, benzoin and cedarwood

herbs:

cloves, basil, rosemary, garden sage, angelica, mint, bay leaves

Use whatever you have on hand, it doesn’t need to be expensive. Some of these ingredients are probably in your kitchen already.

I dropped in a small piece of tourmaline for some extra spice

After it was done I used a black yarn to tie a bay leaf around the jar

Black salt

Black salt is a must have in a witch’s apothecary and it’s fairly easy to make.

You’re gonna need a mortar and pestle to grind up the ingredients;

any kind of salt,

ashes from previous works or incense,

activated charcoal (it’s not necessary so don’t stress if you don’t have it around)

frankincense resin (again, not necessary)

crushed eggshells

While grinding the ingredients listed above make sure to focus on the intention of being protected, meditate on it if you can

You may sprinkle some black salt in the corners of your house, at your doorstep, anywhere really (don’t add salt to plant soil though)

Rosemary water

Rosemary can be used to cleanse your aura and promotes protection

Add rosemary leaves to a cup of boiling water and let it steep for about 20 minutes

Pour the infusion into a spray bottle and you’re done!

Given the fact that rosemary water is great for the scalp and stimulates hair growth I’d recommend this method of cleansing and protecting to people who are in the broom closet.

Eggshell spell

I don’t neccesarily enjoy making spell jars and I find using an eggshell instead of a jar really convenient (and cheap lol)

Cleanse the egg and add salt/ black salt and some protective herbs, one at a time, thinking about what each thing represents and how it relates to your intention. Seal it with wax and you’re done!

Methods of Spell Work

To Banish: • Burning to ashes and sweeping away the ashes • Cast out a window, down a cliffside, etc • Bury it and spit on the spot

To Bind: • Wrap in black thread • Cover in wax or other material • Seal in jar and hide in dark spot

To Hide: • Wrap in ribbon • Place in a (painted) black jar or other container • Cover in cloth or other material and bury

To Encourage: • Plant or bury near the front door/steps • Plant or bury near a window • Place near a window

To Communicate*: • Anoint a candle • Leave out an offering • Meditate • Open the front door and/or windows

To Glamour: • Leave under the full moon • Work with its reflection

To Cleanse: • Bury in salt • Burn herbs and pass through the smoke • Let it bathe in the moonlight

To Protect: • Leave sigils/wards on doors and windows • Carry sigils/wards on every day items (keys, phone case, etc) • Enchant jewelry with protection spells

*: Communication with deities, spirit guides, etc

Emergency Witch Kit

Should haves:

• Box, bag, or anything else to hold all these items. I use an Altoids container.

• White, Red, Brown/Green, Yellow, and Blue birthday candles (for elements and one for you, or RYOGBV for color associations)

• Rose Quartz, Amethyst, or Obsidian are good starters. Any other crystals can be added based on what you think you’ll need.

• Chalk

• A small fire safe bowl, may need to be stored separately

Additional items:

• Matches or a lighter

• A small bundle of cleansing herbs

• A bay leaf (or two!)

• Salt (a package from a restaurant works and fits fine)

• Your choice of divination tool

Why these items?

🕯Candles: To represent the elements when you can’t get access to them, or to burn as part of a spell

💎Crystals: Rose quartz is amazing for self-love and healing, while amethyst is good for protection and safety. Obsidian is amazing at protection too!

🧂Chalk and Salt: These are to make a circle if you wanted to cast a spell, talk to your deities or guides, or to draw sigils and such. A little goes a lot way, and be careful

🌿Bay Leaf: You can burn these (safely!) for a simple wish

🥛 Fire safe bowl: this is for safety- you should burn anything (herbs or candles) without something to catch the ashes or hold the candle.

🍃Herbs: Cleanse the space, as long as you aren't around others and have good ventilation
