For protecting specific spaces, like a shield around your space and your room that is permanently up and in the same place tend to be more permanent and attached to a location (compared to circles which we use more short term)

Warding methods

Guardians

- Create a guardian to guard your home or space from negative energies

- Use a small object, enchant it with your intention and keep it in a safe, permanent place

Salt

- Black salt can be used in banishing rituals or used alone

- Sprinkle salt around your doors and windows or make protection jars

Visualization

- Use your intention and energy to visualize a powerful barrier of protecting light around yourself or your space

Crystals

- Corresponding crystals can be worn as jewelry to protect against negative energies

- Placing crystals in a room or around your house will create a protective barrier

Herbs

- Burn protective herbs and pass the smoke through your space or tools

- Sprinkle herbal oils and tinctures on yourself and your space for protective barrier

Follow your intuition

- Use the method that calls you

- Never use a method that feels wrong or that you haven’t researched

Warding vs. banishing

Banishing is far more specific and direct than warding is. The whole purpose is to get rid of a specific energy, spirit or person. That’s why you have to be careful and really think about this as it’s a strong form of defense. Warding is a more gentle form of defense magick. It’s used to guard and protect you from negative energies of any kind by redirecting them away
