[ ] comfrey

(not all are necessary, pick what feels right to you)

Instructions

1. Cleanse your space and your bowl. I like to do this with incense, however you can do it using sound, sprays, visualizations, etc. Pick whatever method(s) feel right to you.

2. Fill the bowl with salt and add your eggshells and herbs (except for the cloves). As you add each herb, set your intention and express your gratitude to the plants for aiding in protecting you. If you're using crystal chips, you can also add those at this time.

3. Stir the herbs counterclockwise to banish any residual negative energy a few times, then clockwise to welcome in the protective energies

4. Grab your taglocks. If you don't have DNA items such as hair, you can write their full name and birthdays on a slip of paper or bay leaf. Bury them into the salt, visualizing the salt as a protective shield around them.

5. Place 5 cloves around the bowl in the places where the points on a pentacle would be, and then place your charged crystals.

6. Grab your candle and carve word "protected" into it. Hold the candle in both hands and concentrate on who and what it would be protecting. If you have a protection oil, annoint your candle at this time. Place it in the middle of your bowl

7. Light the candle with intention and let it burn all the way down. If you'd like to enchant any jewelry or items to protect you in your travels, you can place them in the bowl before lighting to charge them

Refresh once a month, or whenever the energy feels off and you think it caught something

Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.

Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.

Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.

Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.

Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.

mer interruption: the following is an excerpt from one of my favourite books. Please remember to treat the sea with respect and do not leave anything behind that was not originally from the sands and sea.

High Tide Spell

The high tide spell is a short, sharp piece of operative magic that you can use when something needs to be done quickly. It works best at spring tides when the tidal and lunar powers are at their peak. It is used to attract something that is urgently needed, or to make something positive happen. It is a very short spell that carries a strong sense of urgency. The spell is written using a very brief form of words in the sand or shingle as the tide is rising and just before it reaches its peak, just above the tideline. As the spell is written, the magical will is concentrated on the spell succeeding. The witch then watches until the sea has washed the spell away and the work is done.

Low Tide Spell

A similar spell is worked at low tide to banish or remove something. Again, the power of this spell is very quick and concentrated; it is worked in a few minutes and sent on its way. As with the high tide spell, words are written in the sand just as the tide turns, but this time at the very lowest point of the tide, so that as it begins its climb up the shore whatever you need to banish is taken by the sea. As soon as the words have gone under the water, the spell is done. For both these spells, use as few words as possible; you could even just use initial letters. Concentrate hard on your objective as you write them into the sand then let it go so that the tide can do its work.

- blow cinnamon into your front door in the beginning of each month to welcome in abundance.

- speaking of abundance, mix basil in your mop water before you clean your floors.

- the upside down broom trick works. if you don't know what i mean, turn your broom upside down (bristle side up) and have it near your door to ward off unwanted guests

- if you can, avoid welcome mats. it's literally inviting unwanted energy into your home. if you already have one, just turn it to face the door. OR draw sigils and intent under the mat to specify which energies or being are welcome and which aren't.

- got those cute polaroids of you and your friends? put up a photo wall if it's to your taste, and pay attention to the ones that keep falling. they either may not be doing well, or they may not be wishing you well.

- for the art witches, especially the ones that sell their art, put that intention into your moon water and use it as paint water.

- another tip for the art witches, use sigils when staining your board

- and another for art witches, treat your brush like your wand

- for the 🍃💨 ouid witches, write intentions or sigils on your wrappers, and even pens!

Water can be used in a variety of ways in different spells. Where you collect the water can also aid in what your intent is for the spell you're trying to make.

Here are some little notes I took from a few years ago and wrote in my witchy journal. I don't mind sharing these with other witches. This is pretty much common knowledge amongst the witch community, but I figured I would like to share what I have written to potentially help any baby witches out there.

Not all magic needs herbs or tools. Sometimes, the wind is enough.

Wind is movement, change, voice, and spirit — one of the most overlooked natural forces in witchcraft.

🌀 Each Wind Has a Meaning:

• North Wind (cold, sharp) - banishment, clarity, ancestral connection

• South Wind (hot, intense) - passion, strength, destruction or ignition

• East Wind (morning, rising) - new beginnings, breathwork, communication

• West Wind (gentle, oceanic) - dreams, emotion, spirit work, healing

🌫️ Ways to Work With Wind:

• Whisper your intention into the breeze and let it carry it away

• Use a feather, ribbon, or wind chime as a magical “sail” for your spells

• Stand in strong wind and release thoughts or energies that cling

• Throw herbs, petals, or ashes into the wind as offerings or messages
