untitled until…

It isn't a common sentiment I've encountered, but over the years I've seen a handful of people say they don't bother with protection magic, wards, etc because they're "not scared". I've been thinking about this a bit lately because I've never viewed protective magic as something that stems from fear. For me, it's always been about care.

In some ways, it's like locking my door. I don't lock it because I'm scared someone is going to come through. I lock it because it means I don't need to worry because I know it's taken care of, and my home is protected. I value the peace inside my own. It's the same with preparing protective oils and herbs, maintaining wards, and every other little act of protective magic to make sure my house feels settled. The focus isn't on some looming threat that's hanging over me. It's on the belief that my home is a sacred place that deserves peace and protection.
