The Green Witch’s Protection Spell

Creating a protective shield around yourself through a spell can be a powerful way to ward off negative energies and maintain your spiritual equilibrium. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting a spell for protection:

Ingredients and Tools:

1. A Black Candle: Symbolizes absorption of negative energy.
2. Salt: For purity and protection.
3. A Small Bowl of Water: Represents emotional clarity and peace.
4. White Sage, Palo Santo, or Incense: For cleansing and purifying the area.
5. A Piece of Black Tourmaline or Obsidian: Stones known for their protective properties.
6. A Small Piece of Paper and Pen: To write down your intention.

Preparation:

• Cleanse Your Space: Begin by cleansing your space with sage, palo santo, or incense. Light the sage and pass it around your body and across the room to purify the area energetically.
• Cast a Circle: Use salt to cast a circle around your working area. This acts as a boundary that keeps negative energies out and contains the energy of the spell within.

The Spell:

1. Set Your Intention: On the small piece of paper, write a clear and concise intention focused on what you need protection from. This could be general negativity, specific fears, or emotional burdens.
2. Light the Black Candle: As you light the candle, visualize it drawing in all the negative energies that may be affecting you. Say aloud or in your mind, “Darkness fades, protection stays, around me forms a shield all days.”
3. Activate the Water and Salt: Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and sprinkle some salt into it. Stir clockwise while visualizing a bright, protective light emanating from the mixture. This symbolizes the purity and strength of your shield.
4. Charge the Protective Stone: Hold the black tourmaline or obsidian in your dominant hand, and hold it over the smoke of the sage or incense. As you do this, imagine it absorbing powerful protective energies. Say, “Stone of might, guard me right, shield me with your protective light.”
5. Create the Shield: Fold the paper with your written intention and place it under the candle. Place the charged stone on top of the paper. As the candle burns, imagine a sphere of protective light forming around you, emanating from the candle and stone, growing larger and stronger.
6. Seal the Spell: As the setup remains active, say, “By the powers of earth, air, fire, and water, I conjure this shield to protect me. As I will it, so mote it be.”
7. Close the Circle: Once the candle has safely burned down and you feel the energy settling, dismantle the circle of salt, thanking the elements for their protection. Dispose of the water and salt outside, returning them to nature.
8. Carry the Stone: Keep the black tourmaline or obsidian with you as a physical reminder and a token of your protective spell.

Maintenance:

• Renew the Spell: Depending on your situation, you may wish to renew this spell monthly, especially at the new or full moon, to maintain its strength and efficacy.

This protective spell is a powerful way to shield yourself from negative energies and should be used with positive intent and respect for the energies involved. Remember, the strength of any spell lies in the intention and focus you put into it.
