Herbs For Protection...
*
The herbs that are most normally used for protection are those that have powers to disperse evil and create a protective barrier when burned, carried on your person, or hung wherever protection is needed.
Because these herbs contain positive energy they are able to repel, or bounce back negative vibrations or energy.
Protection spells should be done during a waxing moon, suggested colours are red and white.
The following herbs are generally considered protective in nature (this is certainly not a complete list!):
Angelica, Balm of Gilead, Basil, Betony, Dill, Elder berries, Fennel, Garlic (of course), Horehound, Hyssop, Mistletoe, Mugwort, Mullein, Rose Geranium, Rosemary, Rue, St John’s Wort, Tarragon and Vervain.
*
One of the simplest protective spells is to make a charm using three of the above herbs, mix them together and place them in the centre of a red or white piece of cloth.
(One made of Elderberries, Rosemary and Tarragon has a really delightful fragrance if it is to be used indoors.)
Gather up the corners, tie and charge the sachet saying words like:
"By Water, Earth, Fire and Air,
Protect that for which I care!"
Repeat the chant three times, with greater strength and authority each time.
Carry the charm with you.
To protect the home, place it in the highest point of the house or near the hearth (the kitchen if you don’t have a fireplace).
To protect you and your car while driving, place the charm under the driver’s seat.
