Protection spells are among the most important witchcraft practices for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Whether you want to shield your home, your body, or your spirit, a well-cast protection spell can keep harmful energy away and return curses to their sender.
In this Article, you’ll discover four simple protection spells that anyone can perform: a defense candle spell, a protective poppet, a warding bottle, and a powerful return to sender spell. These spells are accessible, affordable, and don’t require complex tools—making them perfect for beginners in witchcraft.
What Are Protection Spells and Why Do They Matter?
A protection spell is designed to shield you, your space, or your loved ones from harm. In witchcraft, this may include:
– Defending against negative energy or psychic attacks.
– Returning harmful intentions back to their source.
– Creating spiritual barriers around your home or body.
– Ensuring safe travel and personal well-being.
While some witchcraft spells can be complex, protection magic is often simple, powerful, and highly effective when performed with strong intent.
1. The Defense Candle Protection Spell
Purpose:
This spell is perfect when you need quick, fiery protection. Candle magic works fast, making it ideal for moments when you feel immediate danger or energetic disruption.
What You Need:
– 1 black candle (any size)
– Candle holder + fireproof plate
– Pen (to carve symbols)
– Optional: protective oil, herbs (cloves, rosemary, or sage)
How to Perform:
– Carve protective symbols or words (like I am protected) onto the black candle.
– Place it in a fireproof holder, ideally on a drawn protective sigil or paper with your intention.
– Rub your hands together, build energy, and visualize a protective shield surrounding you.
– Push this energy into the candle and light it.
– Let it burn completely while holding the thought: I am safe and protected.
This protection spell creates an energetic shield against disruptive forces.
2. Protection from Physical Harm Poppet
Purpose:
A poppet is a small doll representing you. This sympathetic form of witchcraft spell allows you to “carry” protection with you wherever you go.
What You Need:
– Two pieces of black cloth (or an old sock)
– Needle, thread, scissors
– Personal taglock (hair, nail clipping, etc.)
– Cloves (herb of protection)
How to Perform:
– Cut the cloth into a human shape and sew the edges, leaving an opening.
– Stuff the poppet with your taglock and cloves.
– Finish sewing it closed.
– Hold the poppet in your hands and chant:
“in the name of the seven seals I am defended. Nothing can harm me.”
– Breathe life into it as a symbol of your protective energy.
This witchcraft spell is excellent for travelers, students, or anyone who wants ongoing protection.
3. Warding Off Evil Bottle Spell
Purpose:
A simple but powerful way to ward off curses, negativity, or the evil eye by placing a protective jar in your home.
What You Need:
– Glass jar or bottle with lid
– Black salt (salt + ashes)
– Black pepper + cloves
– Paper + pen for a sigil
– Optional: black candle to seal the spell
How to Perform:
– Create a warding sigil (or use a pentagram) and write it down.
– Layer black salt, pepper, and cloves inside the jar.
– Seal the jar and draw your sigil on the outside.
– Charge it with energy by rubbing your hands together, visualizing a shield, and pushing the energy into the bottle.
– Place the bottle in a liminal space—near your door, window, or under the bed.
This protection spell continuously blocks harmful energy from entering your space.
4. Return to Sender Mirror Spell
Purpose:
When you feel you’ve already been cursed, hexed, or attacked, a return to sender spell reflects the harm back to its origin.
What You Need:
– Medium-sized mirror
– Black or white candle + holder
– Wipeable marker
– Scissors or knife
How to Perform:
– Draw a pentagram on the mirror for banishing energy.
– Rub the candle on your body to absorb harmful energy.
– Light the candle briefly, then snuff it out.
– Cut off the tip of the candle, flip it, and carve a new tip at the bottom.
– Place it back on the mirror, light it again, and chant:
“with an open heart I return any harm sent my way back to its sender.”
This return to sender spell not only neutralizes negative energy but ensures it goes back to its source, protecting you fully.
