Free Magic Spells for Protection of Dwellings

SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

You will need your magic mirror or a consecrated small round mirror,
a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade
or piece of broken glass, and an apple.
After sundown, set the jar before the mirror and place in it some ashes. Fill it up 2/3 of the way with vinegar.
Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which
follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple
with all of the negativity you perceive around you. Raise the apple above the jar and say:
"Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best
Energy spent for evil and bane,
Go back now from whence you came
Far away I send you this hour
May all your attempts to harm turn sour!"
Place the apple in the jar-for best results do this spell for three consecutive nights.

PROTECTION CHARMS

Mistletoe, also known as golden bough, carried in a little hand sewn cloth bag is a
traditional Celtic method of protecting the self and is also used by the followers of
the magic from America's South.

Marjoram or wild oregano is believed to absorb dangerous negative energies when
powdered and sprinkled about the home. In Italy the followers of Italian witchcraft or
Stregheria make this herb into a tea and add it to the wash and scrub water to protect
the home and its inhabitants.

Cuban and Puerto Rican followers of the folk religion known as Santeria regularly burn
brown sugar, a pinch of sulfur and garlic powder on charcoal within their homes to cleanse
them of any negative energy. When the home has been cleansed, it is protected by
praying to Santa Barbara, the saint of protection, by the light of a red and a white candle.

A pinch of sulfur powder and cayenne pepper carried in a little brown paper pouch upon
which a sword has been drawn, can be carried to ward off hostile words and deeds.

Plain bluing (used to whiten clothes in the wash) is said to ward off evil spirits in the magic
of America's South. The bluing is generally carried in a little blue paper pouch.

When a little sulfur and blue metal stone (the type often used in the process of making
concrete) are added to bluing and carried in a blue cloth pouch, the charm is said to
simultaneously ward off evil and attract lucky energies to the bearer.

Mirrors are said to frighten away dark spirits and tiny pieces of silvered glass are often
sewn into Indian cotton dresses as are bells which are also used for this purpose.

A tiny silver bell worn about the neck is a very potent protective charm as evil spirits cannot
abide the sweet ring of any bell. Travelers are especially in need of protection when in a
foreign land. A tiny mirror smeared with a clove of garlic and placed beneath the bed is
said to protect the sleeper when away from his or her own home. The mirror may also be
carried on one's person for this same purpose.

PROTECTION FROM NEGATIVE ENERGIES SPELL

1 black candle, caraway, a small mirror Cast a circle and light the candle.

negative energies bouncing off your shield and returning to where they came from.
Open your eyes and stand facing North. Hold the mirror out in front of you, the reflective side
pointing outward. Say these words:
"Mirror of Protection,
Stop the flow of negative energy in my direction!
May the energy be sent back to its source,
Let it harm none along its course!"
Now turn East and repeat the words for Air. Repeat for Fire and Water. Close the Circle.

A WARDING

The following is an easy warding ritual for your home or just one room.
You must admit that there are those who would use magic in unwise ways.
A simple way of dealing with such attempts is to ward a room you work in, or your home.
It is similar to casting a circle except that it is as permanent as you want it to be.
Be sure that you won't be disturbed while casting the ward or you will have to start over.
Nothing is required to do this but you may use any props necessary to make you most comfortable.
After ensuring you won't be disturbed, ground and center (use any form you wish, this is a
very adaptable ritual). Cast your circle, using the walls as the four Quarters (again use
whatever method you are most comfortable with).
After the circle is cast you will do something similar to circle casting.
Invoke the Quarters again this time asking for protection of the area being warded
against all negative influences from being able to ever enter the area involved.
As you invoke each Quarter visualize a wall of energy completely covering the wall involved
sealed by a floor to ceiling pentacle. On the wall/s with a door visualize a smaller version of the
energy wall and pentacle so that entering and leaving will not affect the integrity of the working.
After each wall, the floor, and the ceiling are sealed be sure to cleanse the area to ensure that
no negativity was trapped inside the room (any method is acceptable).
When done thank the Quarters for their help and dismiss them.
