Protection ritual: learn how to protect yourself effectively
Welcome to the world of protection rituals, an ancient and powerful spiritual practice often associated with white magic. Witches and practitioners of magic have always used them because these powerful practices help repel negative energies and promote positive changes.
You will see in this article, there are different types of rituals, for the protection and purification of the house or to protect yourself from the evil eye. I guide you step by step through simple rituals that you can do at home.
And if you also focus on protective intentions, you reinforce the power of these rituals. Some rituals involve creating a magic circle, using protective affirmations, and even using salt or sacred geometry symbols.
These practices aim to purify your environment and create an energetic barrier around you to protect against unwanted energies.
Protecting yourself from the evil eye: what are the different types of ritual?
The world becomes oppressive and aggressive. So it's normal to want to protect yourself from the evil eye or negative energies. Your concern is legitimate. What is the evil eye? It is often associated with looks charged with jealousy, envy or malice, capable of causing misfortune or problems to the targeted person.
• Amulets or talismans: Wearing talismans around your neck like the Eye of Fatima, the Nazar Boncuk (Turkish blue eye), or the Seal of the 7 Archangels can help you feel protected on a daily basis.
• Herbs and plants: Certain herbs and plants, such as basil, have protective properties. You can carry it with you, place it at home, or include it in purification rituals.
• Purification rituals: As we will see a little later in this article, you can set up such rituals with incense, candles, salt, or holy water in order to purify your environment and keep away negative energies, including the evil eye.
• Prayers or incantations: Reciting specific prayers or incantations can reinforce the intention of protection. Depending on your practices and beliefs, you can recite religious verses, psalms, or specific prayers.
• Salt water: Some recommend washing your hands, face, or entire body with salt water to eliminate negative influences. I also point out that washing with cold water is very effective in cleansing oneself energetically.
How to perform a purification ritual?
You can carry out a purification of your living or working space when you feel it is necessary. This will drive away negative energies and revitalize your environment. Here is a simple purification ritual. You will need some accessories. And then, of course, don't hesitate to adapt it according to your intuition.
Necessary material :
Incense (sage, palo santo, purifying incense)
White candle
Salt (preferably sea salt)
Holy water or pure water
Steps in the purification ritual:
Preparation is an important step in any ritual. So choose a quiet, work-friendly time, for example when you are alone at home.
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Light the white candle, symbol of purity. You can place it on an altar if you have one but it is not essential.
Then close your eyes, breathe deeply and center your mind. Think only about your ritual and visualize the white light enveloping your being.
Light the incense and let the smoke from the incense fill the room. Go through each corner, paying particular attention to places where the energy may seem stagnant, especially in the corners.
Sprinkle salt around the area to be purified, especially at entrances. Visualize it absorbing negative energies.
Splash holy water or pure water around the room. Visualize the water cleansing and purifying the space.
As you sprinkle the salt and cleanse with the water, you can recite affirmations of purification and protection to reinforce the work.
For example :
“Let everything that is impure and nonconforming be driven out of this house”
“I want to chase away what is bad”
“Let the negative energies go away”
You can say these intentions mentally or out loud if you wish.
Personally, if I want to give more strength to my intention, I prefer to do it by voice. The main thing is to express your intentions clearly and to feel the purifying power of the ceremony.
To close the work, thank the elements (fire, air, water, earth) for their assistance and extinguish the candle.
Visualize the space bathed in white light, eliminating all traces of negative energy.
How to protect your home with salt?
Salt is often used in energy purification and protection practices. Here's how you can do.
Necessary material :
Salt (preferably sea salt)
Containers (small cups or bowls)
White candle
Purification incense (sage, palo santo, purifying incense)
Ritual steps:
• Choose a convenient time: a time when you will not be disturbed and when you will feel at peace.
• Light a white candle: Light it to begin the ritual and call protection into the flame.
• Place salt in containers: Divide salt into several small cups or bowls. Place them in key locations in your home, such as room corners, windows or doors. Focus on your protective intentions in putting the salt. Visualize your home flooded with white light and positive energy.
• Circulate with incense: Light your white sage stick and circulate in each room of your house. Pass the smoke of incense into every corner of your rooms.
• Visualize the protective energy: As you spread the salt, visualize it acting as a protective barrier. Imagine white light surrounding each grain of salt.
• Recite protective affirmations during the ritual. For example, you can say: "May this salt purify and protect my home from all negative energy."
• Express your gratitude: Thank the elements (earth for salt, fire for candle, air for incense) for their contribution to protecting your home.
• Allow the candle to burn safely until it burns out naturally. This symbolizes the continuity of protection.
Repeat the ritual if you feel the need.
Where to dispose of purification salt?
When using salt for purification and protection, it's generally recommended not to dispose of it in the ordinary garbage can, as this could nullify the effect of the ritual. Here are a few options on how to dispose of purification salt appropriately:
In the wild (my preference): A common method is to bury the salt in nature, away from your home. You can choose a place like a garden, a forest, or a stream. This symbolizes the return of neutralized energies to the Earth.
Sink with plenty of water: If you can't dispose of it outside, you can dissolve it in plenty of water and pour it down the sink. Make sure the water flows freely to take the energies with it.
Outdoor trash can: If you have no other option, you can throw the salt in an outdoor trash can, but make sure the salt is sealed in a bag and your trash can is emptied quickly.
Whatever method you choose, the key is to do it with respect and awareness of your intention. Make sure you choose environmentally-friendly locations that comply with local regulations.
Why put salt in your pocket?
Putting salt in your pocket can be an effective way of warding off negative energies on a daily basis. Here's why you should consider putting salt in your pocket when you feel the need:
Energy protection: Salt is often considered an energy purifier and protector in many traditions. Wearing salt can create an energetic barrier, repelling negative or unwanted influences.
Repelling evil: In some cultures and beliefs, salt is associated with purification and the ability to repel evil. Wearing salt can be seen as a way of protecting oneself from negative energies or hostile forces.
Good luck: Salt is sometimes considered a good luck charm. Some believe that wearing salt can attract good luck and positivity.
Personal protection rituals: Some spiritual practitioners incorporate salt into their personal protection rituals. Salt is sometimes used as a symbolic element reinforcing the intention to protect against unwanted energies.
Protect your home with protective symbols
To protect your home and your everyday life, you can place a small stone at the entrance and bless it every time you pass through the door. You can choose an amethyst for example, because its purple color is purifying. The more you bless it, the more it will begin to radiate its energy.
Protecting one's home with protective symbols is a common practice in many esoteric and spiritual traditions. Each of the following symbols has specific meanings and influences.
Pentagram:
• Placement: Place a Pentagram at the main entrance to your home to create a symbolic barrier. For example, you can stick a harmonizing disk above the front door with fixing paste.
• Activation: Visualize each point of the pentagram representing the elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit) while pronouncing protective intentions.
Solomon's Seal:
- Placement : Solomon's Seal, also known as the Star of David, can be used as general protection. Place it in key areas of your home.
- Activation: Meditate on the symbolism of intertwined triangles representing unity and balance.
Metatron's Cube:
- Placement: Use the Metatron's Cube to create a protective grid in your home. You can draw the symbol or use objects representing it.
- Activation: Visualize the Metatron's Cube emitting a protective light, creating a sphere of security around your home.
Seal of the 7 Archangels:
- Placement: Place the Seal of the 7 Archangels at strategic points to invoke the protection of the archangels.
- Activation: Say prayers or invocations associated with each archangel, requesting their protection.
Additional tips:
Charge these symbols with positive intentions, clearly affirming their protective role.
Periodically renew your protective intention by meditating on the symbols.
If you work with physical objects (amulets, pendants), be sure to clean and recharge them regularly.
Each of these symbols has a rich meaning and can be adapted to your personal practices. Experiment with these symbols of protection and choose the ones that resonate best with you.
Powerful energy protection ritual
Now I offer you a powerful protection ritual that you can of course personalize. Before you start, make sure you are in a good state of mind and calm (outside and inside!).
Necessary material :
White candle
Purification incense (sage, palo santo, or other)
Salt (preferably sea salt)
A small protective stone or crystal (such as obsidian, amethyst, or tourmaline)
An image or symbol of protection that has personal meaning to you
A small bowl of holy water or pure water
Ritual steps:
It seems obvious, but find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Take 5 minutes to meditate if necessary. Light your white candle, and place it on the altar (if you have one), with your stones and your symbols of protection.
Then close your eyes and breathe deeply. Your inner state and intentions are essential for the ritual.
Light the purification incense (if possible white sage which is particularly effective for this work). Pass the incense in each corner of the room to purify the space. Focus on corners, windows and doors.
Place the protective stone in your hand and visualize its protective energy surrounding you. In the same way, place the protection symbol(s) in front of you. Ask them to accompany you in this ritual.
Then draw a circle with salt around you. This circle is not trivial. It creates a real protective barrier.
Meditate on your intention and visualize a white light, like a halo of light, surrounding your home, protecting it from any negative energy.
Recite protective affirmations to reinforce your intention.
Immerse the stone in holy water and imagine that the holy water enhances the protective properties of the stone. You can then place it at home, for example on your bedside table.
Close your ritual. Be grateful for the presence and contribution of the elements (earth, air, fire, water) to your protection ritual. Thank them and extinguish the candle consciously.
Simple, everyday white magic protection ritual
Here's a simple ritual you can perform in nature or indoors to activate the magical pentagram symbol within you. You can perform it every morning when you wake up, to set your day under the best possible energies. It's important to protect yourself from negative energies that may interfere with your goals and well-being.
It's a scripture and a gesture of protection.
The pentagram of the 5-pointed star pointing upwards is a powerful symbol of the enlightened, conscious man of Light, thought and willed by God.
Stand upright, conscious and awake.
Raising your arms out to the sides, palms facing upwards, inhale deeply.
Hands join above the head, arms outstretched, palms facing forward.
Thumbs and forefingers touch to form a triangle.
While holding the air, visualize in this triangle a pentagram of Light, the resurrected, regenerated man. You can use a Pentacle harmonizing disc if you wish.
As you exhale, let your hands drop to your sides, palms facing downwards, imagining that the influences of the man of Light are penetrating your entire aura, like a protection, through the movement of your hands. You may feel a diamond-gold light surrounding you.
Welcome and give thanks.
A final word
