This house protection spell is inspired by Maleficent’s thorn curse in Sleeping Beauty. It is designed to stop unwanted people or negative entities from entering the house, and to hex them if they try. It could also be adapted to protect a specific object or person.
Items:
An empty jar
A selection of thorns (rose thorns, hawthorn thorns etc)
Some pins and needles
Stinging nettles
Cactus spines
Any other sharp items you may wish to add
To give it a bit of an extra kick you could also add:
Cayenne pepper
Vinegar
Lemon juice
Also, if there is a specific person you’re trying to keep out, add their name on a bit of paper, a photo of them, some of their hair etc to the jar too.
Once you have added all the ingredients to the jar, hold it in your hand and visualize your house being completely surrounded by thorns that constrict to keep out whatever it is you want to keep out (a specific person, negative entities, negative people etc). If they try to pass, they’re cut by the thorns. As you do this, say:
A forest of thorns shall be their tomb
Born through the skies on a fog of doom
Now go with the curse and serve me well
Around this house I cast my spell!
Keep the jar hidden from sight in a dark place, where it wont be disturbed.
As far as I can tell there are two types of spirit workers – those who are always available and those who set time aside. I value myself of being the latter. I like my place and I like it free of disturbances, as such I have always been very thorough when setting my perimeters. I don’t just bar the main doors, I would bar every doorway – just in case should someone break through one, there would still be containment so that I could manage the issue without worry. While this is a great defensive, I find that communicating with spirits in my home can be somewhat difficult – even when given permission to enter. Given my recent move, I elected to try a new strategy – which so far has paid off quite well so far. That is a selectively permeable boundary, through which those who share my blood/spirit (ancestors) or given my blessing may pass. Now, you can rest assured that my bedroom will still be spelled up like Fort Knox, but at least I’m becoming a little more hospitable, right?
I digress.
To Perform the Ritual, gather:
Brick Dust
Salt – a half/half blend of black and white
White Chalk – and/or Cascarilla
Sulphur
Vinegar
Saliva
Blood
Optional: to add a little more fire to those who might try to pass the boundary – add in a blend of used coffee grounds, chile powder, black pepper, iron oxide and dark rum (pine tar is a great addition, too, but it’s hard to find)
Don’t waste your time on any ceremonious nonsense for this one, just combine your dry ingredients first and then the wet and toss/churn/shake your concoction aptly. Your ratio and consistency is dependent on your preferences, but I like more of a dry paste. It really depends on how fine your brick dust is – for chunkier, hand-broken bricks, you’re not going to have a paste one way or another and that’s completely fine, just dampen your ingredients. For a very fine dust, you want to add a bit more to ensure your powder will hold once dry: a bit more vinegar can remedy an overly dry mix.
Take your paste and run it along the base of each entrance to your home. After each has been door has been dressed, read the following incantation as you “close” the door:
Mind these words – for they bear weight and consequence: Those of blood and spirit blessed – yet kinsman all the same, For it is they whose lines I tie, And they who govern fate; But to the wayfarer and the miscreant, No tiding favor found, These walls be charmed These doors be crossed The ill might find no solace; By witch’s blood – By witch’s word – By witch’s will – ‘Tis I who mark the Gates
To close the door, place both index fingers together at the middle of the frame overhead. As you read, trace your fingers along to the corners, down their respective sides, then closing them together at the base of the door. I like to then walk through the door and “cross” it from inside. That’s been the hardest habit to break, as every time I walk through the door, I was used to ‘X’ing it immediately.
I am a very depressed witch. As such, I tend to catch more…. malevolent spirits when I try to communicate with them, or even walk in a place they’re in. This is because some spirits feed off of feelings like anger, sadness, and fear.
However, I am also a death witch and spirit worker. I try to find pleasant spirits and such, but sometimes I act as a magnet for the not-so-nice ones. (And I’m not saying scary. Because scary does not always = bad. Serious misconception there).
Now, depression attracting ill-wishing spirits may not be true for everyone. For some, it could be the opposite, or have little to no affect on the paranormal crowd you acquire. But for the sake of this post, I’m using my own experience.
To combat the amount of spirits I come into contact with that wish me harm, I have created a ward of sorts. It acts as an auric/energetic cleanser, so as to remove and conceal the negative feelings I have. Now, this isn’t designed to get rid of how you feel, it’s more to make you seem positive on the outside. It’s like a decoy around you, acting as a second, more outward aura. I’ve found that it does help me feel more positive, but didn’t necessarily make the feelings go away.
To create it, You’ll need a Necklace, (necklaces or bracelets are what I use, because they lie near/on pulse points), a chant of your making (or the one below), and a window.
Chant:
When worn this piece will protect Me from all that is malevolent
Cleanse and disperse the negative here Cover it up everyday of the year.
Keep the spirits wishing me ill Away from me, this is my will.
With sun and moon I charge this ploy, To act and serve as my decoy.
Say, sing, or think this chant, and add your own personal energy with the intent.
I recommend re-doing this once a month on the full moon, and charging it everyday. To charge it, place it in direct sunlight (unless it will fade, then cover it and put it in the sun). I would always have two pieces of jewelry so you can wear one while the other charges.
If you are like me, then unfortunately driving is not a fun experience and you are full of dread the whole drive. To help me with my driving anxiety (and anyone else who has this problem), I have made this spell. I hope it helps anyone who feels anxious while driving!
