The tools of Shielding

[image error]

Greetings All,

This post carries forward the topic of shielding and tricks of protecting your home from unwanted negative entities. They do exist and I can say that it is the majority of nonhuman entities that cause the most trouble. They were never human ever and their behaviors and actions are alien to us. 

There are many things that you can do to protect your home. They cost very little money too. Here we go:

A clothes hanger can work magic!! Yes the humble clothes hanger that normally holds our slacks in the closet gets a mention here. Some people swear by this. I have done this too. Bend a clothes hanger ( made from wire for this to be effective) into the shape of a ‘g’. Hang it at the door you don’t want the bad energy coming in, so a door you use often, on the inside – in the house. Leave it there. It will work over time. I can attest to this myself. A nice neighbor drilled a hole through nine hazelnuts and hung them on a string for me. I hang it at my back door (inside the house) with the clotheshanger. They guard my home. 

Hang a horseshoe at your door. I have a horse shoe on the inside of my front door. They also symbolize good luck. 

I hung a pouch of salt in my cupboard for protecting my herbs, spices and grains. 

Pentacles are a great symbol of protection. They protect you against people who think pentacles are evil too. Ok that was a joke but I am serious at the same time. 

Garlic and onions are protective. Hang a garlic braid in the home. Try the lemon and pins trick too. 

Smudging the home with sage, cedar, and palo santo can guard the home and clear away bad energies. Rosemary and frankincense work too. If you have a cauldron, ash and a charcoal disc, then you can burn the herbs and resins on the charcoal in the cauldron. Light the charcoal disc until it sparks red and turns ashen then set it down in the ash in the cauldron. Spoon the resin or herb onto it and fan the smoke. The smoke is what you want to go for. Cauldrons get real hot so put a tile beneath the cauldron to avoid burning a table surface. 

Light a white candle and go from room to room, blessing and praying good energy into the room. You can do this also as you smudge a room with sage. Or asperge with salt and water. 

There are different kinds of salt such as Himalayan salt, table salt, and sea salt and even Epsom salts. It depends on your intuition with using the salt but salt is a powerful and protective substance. Sprinkle it on your windowsills and at doorways. You can use black salt (you can make your own) and do the same. To make black salt, mix garlic skins, charcoal, salt, and blend it. Store in a labeled jar. 

Gemstones can guard the home.  My favorites are amethyst, black tourmaline, hematite, tiger’s eye, citrine quartz, clear quartz, and obsidian. Place amethyst on your altars, by windows ( but watch they don’t fade), a tiger’s eye under your bed, an amethyst under your pillow to guard your dreams, and black tourmaline and obsidian at doorways and by windows. 

All these tools can be used to great effect to guard the home from evil. Sweep your broom outwards always to push away bad energies. Washing the floor can work too. Place a gemstone in a jar of spring water when you really need to guard your home then a few days later, when the stone changes the water, add that water to your Pine sol for washing the floor. You could add lemons, essential oils, salts, and herbs to your mixture to wash the floor. Use your imagination. 

Use a statue of a chosen deity to guard your home. I have Hekate in my kitchen and I truly believe she is protecting the home. Even using Red brick dust sprinkled at the doorway will keep people who may mean you harm from entering your home, if you believe that. I recently found out that you can use birch bark to bind someone from  harming you. 

And the last best magic trick? Faith. If you have faith and work for your Highest Good, and concentrate on good energy only, you will never have a problem.
