A follow-up to my Crash Course on Warding. I’ve been thinking of different ways to do energy wards lately, rather than just “here’s an energy barrier that keeps X out.” If you like working with a particular element, here are a few ideas.

Fire

Burn away impurities as you enter your home (stress, worry, etc.)

Burn anything that would wish you harm

Add warmth to your home

Water

Wash away negativity

Wash away residual energies from work, etc. so you don’t bring your job home with you

Drown anything that would wish you harm

Air

Blow away negativity

Keep the energy in your home circulating to help avoid a stale, stagnant atmosphere

Lift you up to a happier state as you enter your home

Earth

Ground as you enter your home and reconnect with the earth

Negativity falls through cracks in the ground
