Personal Protection Charms

Your magic should move with you. Jewelry, keychains, wallets, backpacks—these everyday items can all be charmed for protection. Mini spell jars can be tucked into purses, pockets, or even a car’s glove compartment. Being magickal means being cunning, so use what works for you. To charge an item, hold it in your hands or set it before you. Focus your intent, infuse it with protective energy, and pray over it. Call in protective spirits like St. Michael, Santa Muerte, Shiva, or any guardian you work with.

Household Unity & Blessings

A happy home is a protected home. The best spiritual shield for your space is balance, joy, and open communication. Negative energy doesn’t like to linger where peace is strong. If tensions rise, work a little candle magic with herbs and oils that promote communication, understanding, and harmony. Light it with intention, let it work its way through the house, and watch the energy shift. Set it in a common area of the home such as a living room or kitchen.

Protection for Children & Vulnerable Family Members

When it comes to shielding loved ones, simple techniques can be just as powerful as elaborate rituals. Prayer beads—like a rosary or mala—can be used as a protective barrier. Place them around a picture of the person you want to protect, visualizing a glowing light surrounding them, keeping negativity out while allowing in only love and safety. Protection isn’t just about defense—it’s about making sure they stay strong in their own energy.

Ancestor & Deity Assistance

Your spirits have your back—so call on them. Ancestors and deities are powerful allies in protection magic but be mindful of who you invite in. If you need protection, don’t ask the ancestor who always stirred up drama or caused arguments—call on the one who protected and provided. Do your research on the deities in your spiritual court, and if they align with protection, ask them to watch over your home and loved ones. This is a relationship, not just a request—offer gratitude and maintain the connection.
