6 Protection Ideas Anyone Can Use🛡️

Protection is a fundamental basic within many Spiritual Practices, both witchy and non witchy. From keeping us safe from harmful or unwanted energies to repelling unwanted beings (both living and non) it is there to help us, never to hinder. No matter your level or times worth of experience, protection benefits us all and there is no one too greatly skilled to not require it. 🛡️✨

With an abundance of ways to do it, I'll share some of the basic and common ways many practitioners from various cultures, backgrounds and crafts use. Easy, quick and safe for all 

💍 Protection Jewellery: Wearing an enchanted piece of jewellery simply by cleansing the jewellery and place it within the palm of your hand and close it. Focus your intentions of Protection and when it feels right simply put it on. I like to wear mine until it falls off or breaks before I tend to it or re-work it but most people prefer to partake in regular cleansing & re-enchanting rituals. This is a safer option as I do it one way for a reason.

🎀 Hair Accessories: As mentioned before Hair holds memory and can pick up energies in day to day Life. Same concept as above, cleanse before focusing your intentions. Some prefer to hold hair accessories with their two fingers and their thumb with both hands. (Observation of mine.)

🧴Protection Oils & Sprays : Choose a skin safe oil, you can use a beauty product or a purchased pre-made oil or better yet, create your own oil. Tailor the ingredients to the types if protection you seek and get creative, add herbs, crystal chips, salts, small trinkets whatever you wish and ensure your intention is strong as you prepare your oil. I like to cleanse, bless and set intention into each individual item before adding as well as focusing energy into the finished product. Consider Black Salt, Rosemary & Thyme (Contraversal I know but Thyme is good for safety and clearing negative spaces.) Apply to skin, lotions or even spellwork & rituals as required. I like to place some on my wrists, inside of elbows, behind knees, around ankles or heel, behind ears, temples but you can do whatever feels right for you. (Patch test if you are concerned about potential reactions and always ensure everything you use is skin safe.)

🥾 Footwear: Specifically the last layer around your feet. Regardless of shoe type, it's handy to protect your footsteps as you venture on in Life. Think floor washes painted onto the bottom of your shoes. All you need is water & Protection herbs, set intention into your water before your herbs. Set your intent one herb at a time, adding each herb to your water and once complete either dip your shoe into the water or use a brush. I prefer the Brush technique because spending that extra bit of time allows me to amplify my intentions and encourages me to practice Patience & Mindfulness.

💎 Crystals: Carry a crystal associated with the type of Protection you seek. You can simply place it into your pocket, bag, bra, socks, shoes, purse/wallets or even as a piece of jewellery. Setting intention remains just as easy as holding it into your hands, set intentions of Protections and if you can, focus on your crystal attracting Protection. 

💆Hairstyling: I recommend looking into your own heritage & culture, chosen Spiritual Path, Religion or Witchy Paths for the best results as this can vary and some practices may contradict each other - also be mindful not to appropriate hairstyles when choosing for yourself. Brush your hair with the thought of removing any debris and unwanted energies and as you style your hair focus on Protection and what this means for you and how you would like to be Protected & why. If you set your hair or use any styling products to hold hair into place you can set a "Locking In" intention to trap your intentions onto your hair if you will. 

 

May your path be clear and your vision strong. Happy crafting and should you try any of these - have fun with it. 😊
