Protection magic is some of the oldest and most practiced spellwork, regardless of religious traditions. Dating back to ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, workings have been done to protect homes, property, and people for thousands of years.

When you need to add some protection magic into your life to repel negative influences and energy, these are the correspondences that will help. Most items can be found around the home. There are many ways to incorporate them into your daily practice:

• Burn a candle carved with a protective symbol or anointed with oils while saying the words to banish negativity.
• Create a roller-ball blend of essential oils and wear it on your pulse points while envisioning a protective circle around you.
• Fill a jar with iron nails and bury it along the border of your property line.
• Plant herbs with protective properties around your home.
