Understanding Negative Energy and Its Impact

A black cloud filled with negative words such as weakness, disrespect, inability, inadequacy, and more.
The cloud of negativity can easily engulf us if we do not protect ourselves.

Alright, fellow cosmic travelers, let's get real about negative energy – that pesky pest lurking around like an uninvited party crasher. Negative energy isn't just some woo-woo mumbo jumbo; it's the cranky cousin of good vibes, the rain on your parade, and the grumpy cat of the spiritual realm. So, what's the deal with this energy bummer? Well, it can seep into your life from all sorts of places – toxic relationships, stressful situations, and even your own self-doubts and fears. It's like those gremlins of the soul, sneaking around and trying to mess with your mojo.

And let's be honest when that negative energy starts doing its macabre dance, it doesn't just stop at your front door; it waltzes its way into your mind, heart, and even your body. Oh, the havoc it can wreak! Mentally, it can turn your thoughts into a gloomy cloud, leaving you doubting your worth and questioning your abilities. Emotionally, it's like a rollercoaster from hell, tossing you between anger, sadness, and frustration with wild abandon. And physically, well, it's no secret that stress and negativity can take a toll on your body, leaving you feeling drained and depleted.

But hold on to your cauldrons, because there's a glimmer of hope – a beacon of light amidst the gloom! Cultivating positive energy is like kryptonite to negative forces. It's the superhero cape you don to shield yourself from the dark vibes. By infusing your life with positivity, you create a forcefield that bounces negativity right off like it's made of rubber. So, how do you do this?

Creating a Protective Mindset

Alright, my fellow magic seekers, let's tap into the power of our minds and create a protective mindset that's as strong as a dragon's scales! Self-awareness and mindfulness are our trusty wands in this endeavor. By paying attention to our thoughts and emotions, we become like master detectives, sniffing out any sneaky negativity trying to infiltrate our psyches. It's time to put on our detective hats and become Sherlock Holmes of the soul!

Cultivating a positive mindset is not that difficult.

Now, cultivating a positive mindset may sound like sipping unicorn tears while meditating on rainbows, but fear not! We've got some enchanting techniques up our sleeves. First up, affirmations and positive self-talk. Think of them as your personal cheerleaders, ready to lift your spirits and banish any doubt or self-criticism. Repeat those empowering phrases like mantras, reminding yourself of your worth, strengths, and limitless potential. Oh, and don't forget to do it with a sassy snap of your fingers – it adds a little extra magic!

Next, let's unleash the power of visualization. Close your eyes and picture yourself surrounded by a shimmering forcefield of positivity, like a superhero with an impenetrable shield. Visualize your dreams and goals manifesting, imagine yourself overcoming obstacles with grace, and see yourself radiating with confidence and inner strength. Get creative, my friends! Your mind is like a canvas, and you're the artist painting a masterpiece of resilience and optimism.

Now, brace yourselves for the benefits of this protective mindset. Not only does it keep negativity at bay like garlic to a vampire, but it also empowers us to handle life's challenges with grace and resilience. When we approach the world with a positive outlook, we attract more positive experiences and people into our lives. We become magnets for good vibes! Plus, with our protective mindset in place, we're less likely to get knocked off balance by the bumps on the road. So, let's embrace our inner superheroes, arm ourselves with positive thoughts, and march forward with unwavering confidence. Our protective mindset is our secret weapon against negativity!

Harnessing the Power of Crystals and Talismans

Calling all crystal lovers and magick enthusiasts! Prepare to dive into the glittering realm of crystals and talismans, where protection magick truly shines. These stunning gems aren't just pretty baubles; they hold ancient wisdom and energy that can help fortify our defenses against negativity. Consider them the bodyguards of the metaphysical world, ready to shield us from bad vibes like a celestial bouncer.

Let's start with the basics: crystals are like Mother Nature's little treasures, each with its own unique properties and powers. When it comes to protection, we have some real powerhouses on our hands. First up, we have the mighty black tourmaline, a stone that acts like a spiritual force field, absorbing negative energy and keeping us grounded. Next, we have the regal amethyst, a purple gem that radiates soothing vibes and acts as a protective shield against psychic attacks. And let's not forget the dazzling clear quartz, a crystal that amplifies our intentions and channels pure positive energy. These beauties are our trusty sidekicks in the realm of protection magick.

Now, let's talk about crystal care. Just like we need our morning coffee or tea to perk us up, crystals need some TLC too. To keep them in tip-top shape, make sure to cleanse and charge them regularly. You can do this by running them under cool water, smudging them with sage or palo santo, or even burying them in the earth for a little energy bath. Once cleansed, give them a little boost by placing them under the moonlight or sunlight, allowing their energies to recharge and align with your intentions.

But wait, there's more! We can take our crystal game to the next level by creating and using talismans. Think of talismans as your personalized amulets of protection, infused with the energy of your intentions and desires. You can create a talisman by selecting a crystal that resonates with your protective needs, then pairing it with other symbolic elements like charms, symbols, or even herbs. Wear it as jewelry, keep it in your pocket, or place it in a sacred space to serve as a constant reminder of your protective intentions. With your crystal talisman in tow, you'll feel like a magickal warrior ready to conquer any negativity that dares to cross your path. So, let's embrace the power of crystals and talismans and let them be our shiny allies in the realm of protection magick!

Protection Spells and Rituals

Alright, my magickal comrades, it is time to roll up our sleeves and dive into the realm of protection spells and rituals. These mystical practices are like our mystical Swiss Army knives, equipped with spells and incantations that can banish negativity faster than you can say “abracadabra.” So, grab your wands, dust off those cauldrons, and let’s get spell-casting!

First up, we have banishing rituals that are all about kicking negativity to the curb with style. Picture yourself as the ultimate janitor, sweeping away those pesky bad vibes. One powerful banishing technique is smoke cleansing, sometimes called smudging, but these are not the same thing and I’ll get into the difference in another post. Smoke cleansing is where you burn cleansing herbs like palo santo or mugwort (I’ll discuss why I don’t use sage in the post about smudging vs smoke cleansing) and let the smoke purify your space. It’s like giving your energy a spa day, leaving it refreshed and revitalized. Another fantastic option is a salt bath, where you soak yourself in a tub filled with salt water, washing away any lingering negativity. It’s like hitting the cosmic reset button, leaving you feeling squeaky clean and protected. And let’s not forget the classic candle rituals, where you light a candle with the intention of banishing negativity. Watch as the flame dances and transforms that negative energy into a puff of smoke. It’s like witnessing a magical disappearing act!

Now that we’ve removed the negative energy, let’s shift gears to warding rituals, where we create a protective shield that would make any mystical knight proud. One powerful technique is creating a protective circle around yourself or your sacred space. This circle acts as a boundary, keeping out any unwanted energy and creating a safe haven for you to do your magickal work. Another option is utilizing sacred symbols in your rituals, like ancient runes or sigils, to amplify your protective intentions. These symbols hold deep spiritual meaning and can act as beacons of power. Lastly, we have the mystical arts of chanting or using mantras for protection. By repeating sacred words or phrases, you tap into the power of vibration and sound to create a shield of positive energy. It’s like singing your way into a magickal force field!

So, whichever method you prefer, there’s a protection spell or ritual that’s right for you. With these powerful tools in your mystical arsenal, you’ll be able to banish negativity like a pro and create a protective shield that would make Merlin himself proud. So, let’s wave our wands and chant our incantations as we dance with the energies of the universe.

Incorporating Protection into Daily Life

Let’s talk about how we can take what we have learned and infuse a little protection magick into our daily lives. After all, we don’t want our spells and rituals to gather dust on the shelf like forgotten potions. We want them to be woven into the very fabric of our existence, like a magickal thread that keeps us safe and secure. So, grab your want (or your trusty pen and paper) as we explore ways to incorporate protection magick into our everyday routines.

First up, we have morning and evening rituals - those sacred bookends of our day. Starting your morning with a simple protection ritual can set the tone for the entire day ahead. You can light a candle, visualize a shield of light surrounding you, or recite a powerful affirmation to kickstart your day with a dose of protection mojo. And when the evening falls, take a moment to cleanse your energy from the day’s hustle and bustle. You can take a soothing salt bath, smoke cleanse your space with rosemary, or meditate while visualizing any lingering negative energy dissipating into the ether. These rituals bookend your day with magick and ensure you’re enveloped in a protective bubble from morning till night.

Now, let’s talk about incorporating protection practices into the spaces where we live and work. Energy cleansing isn’t just reserved for Hogwarts; we can do it in our homes and workplaces too. Regularly smoke cleansing your living or work space with cleansing herbs can help remove any stagnant or negative energy. You can also strategically place protective crystals around your space, creating an invisible fortress of positive vibes. And don’t forget to carry a talisman or amulet with you throughout the day, like a protective charm necklace or a symbol engraved on a piece of jewelry. These portable guardians can be a constant reminder of your intention to stay protected, even when you’re out and about.

Consistency and intention are the secret ingredients to maintaining the potency of protection magick. Like watering a plant or feeding your favorite familiar, these practices need nurturing and attention. By incorporating protection magick into our daily lives, we make it a priority, a habit, and a way of life. And the more we infuse our routines with these practices, the stronger our protective shield becomes. So, my mystical comrades, let’s make protection magick a part of who we are, not just something we do. Let’s create a life where every step we take is guarded by the powers of the universe.

3 Personal Examples of Protection

Alright, my fellow magical adventurers, gather 'round as I unveil the secrets of my personal protection rituals. Today, I'll be your mystical tour guide, taking you on a journey through three of my favorite protection spells and practices. These are the rituals that have become my trusty companions in warding off negativity and embracing the light. So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride into the world of my quirky and effective protection rituals!

The Purifying Ritual: Refreshing Energy with Monthly Smoke Cleansing.

As mentioned above, smoke cleansing is a great way to cleanse your space of negative energy. The night of the first Saturday of every month, I smoke cleanse my space using lavender or sandalwood. I’ll often use Jasmine to cleanse myself as well as it resonates with the energy of love, helping me to clear my mind of negativity.

To cleanse my space (which is a fifth-wheel RV), I open a window in the bedroom and living room. I start in my bedroom and light the incense I am using. Moving counter-clockwise (to remove), I waft the smoke around the space while chanting “I cleanse this space of all negative and unwanted energies and fill it with light and love.” This last part is important because if you don’t fill the space with an energy to replace the negative, it can easily come back. I then move on to other parts of my house, ending at my front door. I open the door and “sweep” the energy out of the house. At this point, I have a spell I chant:

By the light of the moon and the strength within,

I cleanse this space, let negativity rescind.

With sacred intent, I banish all that’s astray,

And summon pure energies to light my way.


Release the darkness, let it fade and disperse,

As positive vibrations fill this universe.

I call upon my power, within me it lies,

Returning strength, reclaiming what was once mine.


With every word and gesture I declare,

This space is cleansed, purified, and fair.

Negative energy, you have no hold,

Positive energy, now unfold.


By my will and the power I possess,

I create a sanctuary of happiness.

As above, so below, as within, so without,

May this spell be sealed, beyond any doubt.


So mote it be, and let it be done,

With love and light, this ritual is won.

I am cleansed, I am whole, my energy restored,

In harmony and balance, I am forevermore.

Harnessing the Power of Smoky Quartz and Obsidian: Personal Protection for Empaths

As an empath, I am highly sensitive to the energies of those around me. This can be a beautiful thing as I can easily connect with others and call on the power of healing to help those I love and spread positive energy. The downside is I often get overwhelmed by the emotions and energies around me. It was key for me to learn how to navigate the world while constantly absorbing and feeling the emotions of others. Enter smoky quartz and obsidian, two powerful crystals that will be your trusted allies in the realm of personal protection.

First up, we have smoky quartz, the stylish dark beauty of the crystal kingdom. Just like its name suggests, this crystal possesses a smoky hue that hints at its ability to absorb and transmute negative energies. It acts as a psychic vacuum cleaner, sucking away any unwanted vibes and leaving you feeling grounded and protected. Smoky Quartz is a master at banishing anxiety, stress, and even the dreaded psychic attacks that can leave empaths feeling drained. It's like having a superhero sidekick that shields you from the chaos of the world.

And then there’s obsidian, the mystical warrior of crystals. This jet-black gemstone acts as a powerful shield against negativity, making it an essential tool for empaths. Obsidian is formed from volcanic lava that cools rapidly, giving it an intense energy that repels any unwanted energies. It acts as a mirror, reflecting back any negative intentions, allowing you to stand firm in your own energy without being swayed by others. With obsidian by your side, you’ll feel like an empathic warrior, fearlessly embracing your own emotions while keeping harmful energies at bay.

But wait, there’s more! While smoky quartz and obsidian are fantastic for empathic protection, other crystals can also enhance your shielding powers. Black tourmaline is a popular choice, known for its ability to create a force field of protection around the wearer. Amethyst can help soothe and calm your sensitive soul, while rose quartz can amplify self-love and compassion, creating a positive bubble around you. Experiment with different crystals to find the perfect combination that resonates with your empathic nature.

So how do I harness the power of these crystals? I use this spell/chant to harness the energy of smoky quartz and obsidian for my self-protection as an empath. To start, find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Set the mood however you feel called - I often light some incense (no particular kind, whatever I am called to use that day) and a black candle. While holding your chosen crystals in your casting hand, say:

With smoky quartz and obsidian might,

I shield myself from negative light.

Banish all energy that does not serve,

Empathic power, I preserve.


In harmony with crystals strong,

I stand my ground, where I belong.

Protected, centered, and serene,

I am the empathic queen/king supreme

Repeat this chant three times, or as often as you feel necessary, visualizing a shield of crystal energy surrounding you, warding off negativity and allowing only love and light to penetrate.

Remember, fellow empath, you hold the power to protect and nurture yourself. Embrace the magic of crystals and let them be your allies on this incredible empathic journey. You’ve got this!

Rune Magick: Crafting a Protective Shield for Your Home

In a world where ancient wisdom meets modern fascination, the mystical allure of runes continues to captivate seekers of esoteric knowledge. These ancient symbols, carved into stones or etched onto objects, possess a remarkable power to tap into the unseen realms and manifest protection in our lives. Today, we shall explore how runes can be harnessed to create an impenetrable shield of security around our homes - a formidable defense against negative energies, misfortune, and unwelcome intruders.

Imagine your home as your sanctuary, an oasis of tranquility and harmony. Runes can be your mystical allies in fortifying its protective walls. Algiz (ᛉ), known as the "rune of protection," radiates an aura of guardianship, warding off malevolent forces that might seek to invade your space. Its intricate shape mirrors a set of outstretched arms, invoking a sense of divine embrace. By inscribing this potent symbol on doors, windows, or even amulets, you invite its energy to create an invisible fortress around your abode, shielding it from harm.

However, runes are not solitary warriors—they possess a greater strength when combined. Othala (𐰋), the "rune of ancestral heritage," infuses your protective shield with a deep connection to your roots and ancestral wisdom. This symbol holds the essence of home, family, and belonging, imparting a sense of grounding and stability. When united with Algiz, Othala amplifies the shield's potency, creating an impenetrable barrier that fends off negativity and establishes a haven of safety. Through this fusion, your home becomes a sacred space, preserving the harmony and well-being of all who dwell within its walls.

You can weave the ancient magick of protection into a single symbol, keeping negative energy at bay.

To invoke the power of the bind rune for the ultimate protection of your home, follow this simple spell. Start by making some salt water in a bowl that you can easily carry around your home. At each window and door, visualize the Algiz and Othala runes merging together, their energies intertwining and emanating a brilliant light. As you do so draw the protection bind rune with the salt water on the window/door and chant the following incantation:

Algiz and Othala, unite your might,

Shield this home both day and night.

Keep out harm and evil's sway,

Protect us, safe within this sacred space.

Repeat this incantation at each window and door of your home, allowing the words to carry your intention into the realms beyond. Visualize a luminous shield enveloping your home, radiating an impenetrable barrier of protection. Trust in the ancient wisdom of the runes as you breathe in the assurance of safety and well-being.

In the realm of mysticism, runes stand as a testament to the timeless wisdom of our ancestors. By tapping into their power, we can create a protective shield for our homes that transcends the physical realm. The combination of Algiz and Othala runes infuses our sanctuaries with a divine embrace and a deep sense of belonging. So, embrace the enchantment of runes, weave their magical threads, and allow your home to become an impervious fortress of peace and security in a chaotic world.
