Easy Protection Magic Spells

hi i'm ari i'm the oakridge and in today's video i'm going to be going over some easy protection magic spells [Music] so today i'm going to be giving you a spells video don't usually do them too often but you guys really liked my spell video where i went through five really easy spells to do as a beginner and i thought i would kind of do the same thing here but also focus it more on protection magic texture magic is something which is quite important as a beginner when you're getting into how to protect yourself when you're beginning to work with energy or work with spirits protecting yourself from certain things is always helpful the goal of these spells i'm going to be giving you today they are designed to be easy and accessible i find a lot of the time when people write in begin to spell books or you know spell encyclopedias the spells tend to be a little bit inaccessible they're not always the cheapest they're not always most accessible in terms of how many ingredients there are and spells that you need to do or even in their methods to be a little bit convoluted today i want to give you some from my own personal grimoire that i really like doing and they're not too complicated so the spells are designed with the intention to protect yourself in some way be it protecting your physical body yourself protecting your space your home warding off any harm set in your way or returning whatever has been inflicted upon you back to where it came from of course i'm an english vote which i practice english folk magic so that means the spells i'm going to be giving you today are kind of flavoured with that with english black magic but that doesn't mean that if you don't practice english folk magic or if you're not english you can't practice it of course industry magic is open to anybody so you're more than welcome to practice these spells even if you're not part of this path so that's completely fine so yeah one more quick thing before i dive into the spells is that before each spell usually what is done you ground and center yourself to kind of align your inner energy and your inner spirit together and connect you to environment this makes you kind of more stable and more focused and ready to perform spell work and cleansing yourself cleansing your space or the objects that you may or may not use in your spells is usually done before you perform a spell i don't go through those processes in each spell that i'm about to go through i don't really go through them so i think repeating that four times is a bit much so yes i don't really go through any of those preparations when i'm about to go through these spells i just thought i'd mention that obviously that's something that you want to consider when you are actually performing those spells do that necessary preparation beforehand if you wish and what i'm about to go through in the terms of spells are literally just the method themselves and what you need so let's start off with a defense candle spell so this spell is designed to kind of be more flexible with your intention in terms of protecting yourself and defending yourself this can be yourself or just the area that you're in but this is using a candle so this is more for magic which you kind of need protection very quickly in terms of that elemental association fire magic is for quick quick magic you want this protection quickly so this candle spell is kind of designed for that scenario but what you'll need is a single black candle so it doesn't really matter the size it can be a really big candle it could be a really small one it could be like a birthday candle if you have those in black but black is for protection you need a candle carver so you can get a fancy counter carver tool or you can just do what i'm doing and use a pen you'll also need a fireproof candle plate and a chalk pen or something which can be easily wiped off like a felt pen or something or if you don't have this a piece of paper and a pen or pencil will work fine you'll need a candle holder so this can be really anything that you have which is fireproof and then you also need a lighter some optional ingredients here if you have the means too if you don't it's completely fine you don't need these but you could also get a protection anointing oil for the candle and some herbs that are associated with protection or defense for the candle as well but these are not necessary so first let's establish the goal of this spell so as i said before the goal of the spell is kind of flexible to what you kind of need in terms of protection or defense but i'll use an example in what i'm showing you in this example spell so my intention for this is i am protected from any disruptive energy so that is the intention that i'm going to be carrying with me whilst i perform the spell it's going to be what's on my mind what i'm focused on when i'm performing each step of the spell so how to perform the spells so get your candle play or your pen and paper if that's your substitute and place it on your alt or your table wherever you're working you need to draw the saddle square on the candle plate or on the piece of paper the saddle square is a really old symbol for protection and for various other magical uses i spoke about it in one of my videos so you can check that out in the card that is listed here here's me just preparing the candle and kind of waking it up so to speak for the magical working it's not something you have to do but as an animist i tend to like to do this so the next thing you want to do is carve your candle with any protective symbols or words so this can be simply just i am protected with perhaps like a protective rune or protective sigil that you have created anything that really just reminds you of protection or any protective symbols you can place on it you can put a simple pentagram really is up to you but here in this example i've literally just put a tier rune with i am protected step three here is optional where you would knot your candle with the protective oil the protective herbs around it and then you would place it in your candle holder so once you place it in your candle holder and that is on your candle plate with the saddle square rub your hands together build up that energy and whilst you're doing that visualize a protective shield around you in my example intention of course i want to protect myself from any disruptive energy so i'm visualizing that shield around me safe secure so nothing can really interfere with what i'm doing and you continue to rub your hands together and you can feel that energy building up in your body in your hands and when you feel satisfied when you feel sort of that energy there you want to push it into the candle after this here is where you just light the candle with your lighter and then you let it burn all the way down and that's it and that's the spell it really doesn't have to be anything other than that what i tend to do in my animistic practice is when i light the flame i talk to the spirit of the flame so i say it's in the lines of spirit of the flying work with me here grant me protection from any disruptive energy something just really simple but it's like talking to what you're working with to build that connection so it will further help your practice and further help that magic actually work as an animist i see spirit or spirit essence in all things so working with these objects as a part of the magic helps me and it's just a part of my world view so if that works for you then that's great that's an option you can do for your practice but that's what i tend to do so this spell there isn't necessarily anything you really need to expect or wait to see what happens some spells you're kind of waiting to see if it actually works this one is a little bit more subtle it really does depend on your situation why you need protection especially if you're needing it in a pinch if you need it to be protected from something in particular then you might be searching out for that protection specific to your situation but if you're just kind of doing a general protection then sometimes the effects are quite subtle and you don't always notice it because you've been protected so if something doesn't get slammed you away and you're being protected then it's usually a sure sign that it's working if it's not working then you have a bunch of stuff that's disrupting your space in your person so that's when you kind of can intuitively know that maybe you need to up your protection magic and try different things so on to the next spell which is a protect from physical harm poppet i really like poppets because there's that lovely interplay of sympathetic and contagion magic and i often find that they're quite powerful really like poppets they're used a lot in english folk magic so i want to give you my poppet that i tend to use in my practice what you'll need is two pieces of black cloth black of course for protection and in terms of cloth hair if you don't have any scraps of cloth or anything that you can really use or fabric honestly what i tend to do is use old socks it might sound a bit weird but obviously the socks are something which i've worn so it's a part of me it has like my my soul imprint so to speak and it's something which i was gonna throw out because maybe the sock is worn but i can repurpose into a magical practice so it's kind of sustainable in that sense as well so that's what i tend to use obviously i clean it before i use it so you also need scissors and a chalk pen or something to draw on the piece of fabric so you can see what you need to cut out you will need a personal tag lock so this can include hair you could also do nail clippings whatever you decide to use that's up to you i'm not going to judge you but it needs to be something from your person so i tend to use hair that i've taken from my hairbrush you also need clothes as in the herb and a needle and thread obviously in the spell you're using scissors and a needle so obligatory safety warning just be careful when you're using sharp objects especially if you're younger also the spell tends to take a long time depending on your skills of sewing i'm rubbish so i take ages doing the spell but with practice it gets a lot easier this spell of course the intention is to protect you from physical harm i like using a puppet for this intention because you are creating a puppet of yourself so you're able to directly enchant your body with protection from physical harm so i think this spell is really great for if you're traveling if you're on the go a lot a puppet is great because it's something which you can carry with you this puppet i'm gonna show you is something which is quite small so you can fit it easily in your pocket or in your bag something which you know doesn't really need to be seen and can just be tucked away somewhere and you can get that protection with you as it is literally on your person as you go so i really like the spell so how to perform first you need to place your two pieces of cloth on top of each other and draw an outline of a human figure so in this example i'm using a sock so i cut the sock basically in half and i place it flat on each other so the cloth doesn't like have any bumps so it's literally just flat and in terms of the human figure obviously you can draw it so that it closely resembles you your body or you can just do a standard human shape i've done a standard human shape just for the sake of this example but you want to make it big enough so that you can actually stuff your tag lock or your clothes inside but you don't want it too big that it obviously won't be able to fit in a pocket or depending on how you're gonna imagine yourself using it you want it to be discreet enough so once you have done your shape you want to get your needle and kind of place it inside the two cloths as i'm showing here so it kind of like keeps the two pieces of cloth together so this is because when you start cutting the two pieces of cloth they don't really move too much and it just makes it easier so you want to start cutting out your human shape once you've done that and you're satisfied of how it looks this is when you want to start using your needle and thread and to sew together the two shapes it really doesn't need to be perfect but obviously you want to make sure that the thread you're sewing doesn't leave two large gaps because obviously when you start stuffing your herb and like your tag lock inside you don't want it to fall out off the pocket so you want to make sure that it's quite tightly sewn i've made this mistake before but you know if you sew any fine gaps you can always just sew again in the same space so it doesn't really need to be perfect on your first go-round but before you get to the end leave a little bit of a gap so you can obviously stuff your tag lock and your clothes inside you want to leave a little bit so you can stop the stuff inside and then after you've done that you can then sew it back up this is where you take your tag log so i'm taking my hair here and i'm putting it inside the pocket now take the clothes and i as an animus speak to the spirit of the clothes ask them to protect me from physical harm and i place it inside the pocket once it's kind of padded out i sew up the hole and you take the poppet in your hands as i take the poppet in my hands i visualize myself protected perhaps i visualize myself with skin of diamonds that nothing can hurt me nothing can penetrate that barrier and i am protected from anything that could possibly harm me perhaps you want to visualize yourself in a castle with fortified walls and a moat around you so no one can attack you no one can get to you and cross your defenses so in whatever way kind of works for you visualize that by the way for people who can't visualize you don't need to use imagery necessarily you can repeat chants or incantations this can be really good for charging as well so if visualizing isn't your thing you can repeat over and over i am defended nothing can hurt me i am defended nothing can hurt me you can really say what you want in terms of the intention of being protected from physical harm and repeat that over and over as like a like a mantra something that you're chanting over and over again and really feel their energy rising and with the chance and obviously pushing that into the pocket which is in your hands so once you've done this and you sort of feel satisfied what i tend to do is i take the poppet in my hands and i breathe life into the pocket this is the breath of life using that air magic and you are feeding your spirit into the pocket and the poppet is awakening and this is the spell pretty much done because of this intention a puppet to protect you from physical harm this is something you want to keep on your person you want to keep with you as you go and this can be where the magic actually works again like i said before it is pretty subtle sometimes really does depend on your lifestyle what you're doing your situations that you're being protected from so i can't really give you a clear indication of how the spell will work it really just depends because a lot of things can happen now this next spell is a warding off evil bottle and i love the spell because it's pretty easy to make so what you'll need is a glass jar or a glass bottle a glass container anything that is glass and has a lid the ingredients i tend to use in my wards is black salt that i've made myself which is literally just salt and ashes from incense that i've burned i add black pepper and cloves i usually add mug wart but i've been running low and i don't really want to waste it too much so i'm not adding it this time but the black pepper black salt and cloves works perfectly fine you'll need a pen and paper and you'll need a wiperable pen that you can put on glass but also rubs off the optional ingredients here is a black candle and a lighter and this will be for essentially sealing the spell on top but i'll get into that a bit later before performing the spell we will establish our goal and this goal is to ward off any harmful energy sent my way directly so this is warding off any intentional harm that i may get so this is why doing a bottle is really good because you can place it around your house for example or where you work or where you just spend long periods of time you want to place this bottle in these places where you know any harm may actually be sent your way so how you perform the spell is you first you want to create a warding off harmful energy sigil so you can of course make a sigil for this if you have one already you can use that you can also use the one which i'm doing now now this is a adaptation of a chiro symbol that i spoke about in my seals and symbol video with my adaptation i've taken a line from psalm 68 which usually says may god rise may his enemies be scattered may his foes flee before him and i've taken the sort of second path there and let my enemies be scattered so i've kind of taken it from the psalm and kind of put that around the chiro symbol and this is what i'm going to be using for my warding symbol on my bottle but you don't have to use this if you don't want to what you can do is literally create a protection symbol if you just want to use like a pentagram as pentagrams are good as a protection symbol use what you want but i think creating a sigil for the specific intention of warding off harmful energy is best here because you get that specific intention and i've created this charo symbol with a specific intention to do so so when you've done that on your piece of paper you then want to get the bottle and you want to take the black salt the cloves the black pepper and you want to layer these ingredients on top of each other in the bottle so as an animist myself i tend to talk to each ingredient petition what magic i want to be performed and then add it in the bottle so after you've done this then close the bottle and then you want to draw your warding sigil or your symbol whatever you've chosen onto the bottle like with the prior spells you want to charge the spell so again you can do this in any way which you prefer but what i tend to do is rubbing my hands together feeling that energy rise and then visualizing myself being protected bouncing off any harm set my way i play a lot of video games so i tend to sort of like you're parrying an attack blocking it and then pushing the person away you know i tend to incorporate a lot of that imagery in my head because it helps me with that intention so visualize whatever works for you in terms of blocking off any attacks and once you feel that energy rising you then push it into the bottle what you can also do is grab a black candle you can kind of melt it stick it on top of the bottle and let the candle burn kind of sealing the spell with the black candle for protection you don't have to do that last bit a lot of people with spell jars tend to drip wax onto their spell bottles to make them look pretty i don't really personally care to do that but if you like doing that that's completely fine and then what you want to do the spells you want to place it in a liminal space hidden away in your room be this by a window by a door by your front door back door or under your bed or by your desk somewhere where you are spending a lot of time and you want to hide it away somewhere and that is pretty much it there you go again in terms of expectations for what the spell may look like when it's worked it's hard to really say because again you're warding off harm if you feel protected then it's working it's hard to really see harms on your way and actually seeing it being blocked off it's um something which i guess you'll know if you haven't really come into any trouble recently so you know the last spell i want to talk about is probably my favorite and it is a return to sender mirror spell so with a return to sender this is usually done in the case where you already feel inflicted by whatever's happened to you and there's lots of different ways to detect whether or not you think you might be afflicted with something it's hard to describe because usually this is something which you assess quite intuitively and giving advice like this can be kind of dangerous sometimes because a lot of the symptoms you talk about tend to also be mental health symptoms or just general mundane symptoms that you don't want to fear monger or scare people into thinking that they're cursed all the time because usually when you're cursed when you're hexed or when someone sends something away it's not as common as people tend to think it is but it's not like people don't hex or curse or send the evil eye it does happen some people go through like a curse assessment checklist i'm not gonna do that at least not in today's video this is just simply a spell for if you feel like you've been afflicted with something and doing the spell anyway what can it really hurt you know if you genuinely feel like you've been afflicted with something then doing the spell can only help the only hurt is maybe you wasting ingredients so yeah what you'll need is a black or white candle and a lighter i like black for protection but of course you can use white in terms of like resetting so it's really up to you why is good as an all-purpose candle anyway you'll want a medium-sized mirror that you can sort of fit on your surface where you're working flat that won't really move around too much so you want it like fixed you'll need a candle holder and a marker like i said before a marker that is wipeable that won't be permanently on your mirror when you write on it and scissors or a knife so the intention here we need to establish is returning any harm you have been afflicted with back to the sender so there's so many different ways you can phrase this depends on how you want to send it back some people send things back three times let's just say the intention for this spell is i return any harm sent my way back to where it came from it could be something as simple as that so how you perform the spell you want to grab your mirror place it on your table where you're working and you want to draw the abracadabra symbol going down so i'll have a picture of it here and this symbol has been used a lot in english right magic in terms of sympathetic magic so seeing something decreasing and having the infliction that's been put upon you decreasing as well so this is really great for a return to sender zoo you want to draw that on the mirror going downwards here with this abracadabra decreasing sympathetic magic we also have the mirror which is obviously a symbol of reflection reflecting that evil so yeah after you've done this wait for it to dry a little bit place your candle holder in the middle of the symbol where you've drawn on the mirror and then you grab your candle so here you grab the candle and you want to rub it all on your body where you feel inflicted i usually just do like on my head or my body really roughly but and visualize it kind of drawing in grabbing in all of that energy all of that harm and visualize that it's all going into the candle here is where you want to place the candle in the candle holder and just light it leave it lit for like a few seconds a few minutes depending on the size of your candle let it burn just a little bit but not all the way down when it's burnt just a little bit snuff the candle make sure there's not any hot wax poured on the top of the candle make sure that's all dry and it's cold and then you want to grab your scissors and you want to cut off the tip of the candle here flip the candle and you want to grab your scissors or your sharp object and you want to carve a new tip into the candle at the bottom so this is a tip i actually got from ella harrison's book of spells i thought i would shout out and give credit where it's due because i saw her do this in this book and i actually thought it was such a cool idea i don't know why i didn't think of it before i thought it was so neat i briefly spoke about this book on my patreon i do really like it but if you want to hear my thoughts in a little bit more depth feel free to support me there so when you've made this new tip put the candle back in the candle holder and you want to light it and let it burn and repeat the following i return any harm sent my way back to the sender you don't have to use this chan or incantation you can use something from folklore for example in english fake magic there's lots of psalms that are used for protection here in jamaica's sharma she says that to defend against enemies and return curses psalms 25 37 429 or 140 or psalm 25 or you can just come up with your own incantation literally just i return any harm set my way back to the sender is fine you can make something a bit more fancy and depending on your intention if you want to send it back times three you could say i return any harm sent my way back to its sender times three and yeah that's that's the spell done if you know who's sent you the harm then you can test whether it worked by seeing if they've been inflicted by anything that they've sent to you so it's it's up to you you can intuitively work out whether or not it's been uh it's worked or you could just rest in the notion that it has and yeah those are four really easy protection magic spells what do you think do any catch your eye are you gonna try out any let me know down below i chose the use of cloves and black pepper because those two herbs are something which can be found in any supermarket or grocery store black salt is something which is quite easy to make as you can literally just get salt and put any ashes from any incense or anything that you burn if you don't have any ashes to make black salt you could just use salt that's okay too so yeah i wanted to make these accessible but also fun as always thank you so much for watching if you want to support me further please have a look at my patreon because it really helps me out just a pound a
