I have been collecting a bunch of ways to protect your home daily, weekly, monthly, and passively. You can do it all or only one, completely up to you. Hope some of this helps! Amazing books that have helped me cultivate this:
📖A witches Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar
📖The encyclopedia or witches, witchcraft, and wicca by Rosemary Ellen Guiley
📖Grimoire of a kitchen witch by Rachel Patterson
Blow cinnamon out of the doorway at the beginning of each month
Add it to a cleansing spray
Sprinkle on carpet and vacuum
Make a home cleansing spray
Use moon water as the base and add protective ingredients - rosemary, lavender, cinnamon, lemon.
Wash bedding with the intent of washing away negative energy and bad dreams
You can add a tsp of lemon juice in the wash to help aid in protection.
Honeysuckle helps good marriages for people who live there, attracts love, luck, and wealth.
Lavender helps aid with protection, sleep, and peace.
Dandelions promote happiness.
Candles that are cinnamon or lemon scented
Black to absorb negativity
White to repel negative energy
The best way to go about this is to use homegrown from your garden. I personally grow sage, rosemary, mugwort, and lavender specifically for this.
A bundle hung at the door
You can make your own or use curated ones.
If you don't have a horseshoe the whole point is hanging iron. So if you have iron that would work as well.
Putting them on the door handle ensures they chime frequently and cleanses the space.
Doing this in your yard, especially if it's bread you made, is a symbol of protection and provides a gift to the spirits.
There is an old way to do this but many people are uncomfortable with doing that. You can add nails, salt, cinnamon bark or powder, and fill it with lemon juice. Bury it in the yard and you should have the same effect just not as potent. In a sense. Be sure to really give intention.
You can make a line at the doorway.
Throw it behind you while cooking.
Scatter in the yard (Epsom salt is great for this)
Leave in bowls on shelves.
Binding runes - Ligatures of two or more runes, often used by creating into a single, unified symbol. They usually share a common vertical line.
Runes - The alphabet in which we see our nature revealed. Derived through the god Odin. Specifically the protection rune would be a great addition to places in your home.
Ankh - Representative of life after death and God's death and resurrection. Osiris and Isis. It is an Egyptian symbol.
Whether inside or outside planting protective plants is a great way to protect a home
While meditating you can imagine a shield forming around you, your room, your home, your yard. Give intention and make sure you are rooted.
Save ashes of protection spells and smear above doorway.
During litha, collect the ashes of the bonfire and use in your garden or spread above the doorway.
You can add ashes to salt and make black salt. Use the same with extra potent energy.
Scatter orange peels around the yard.
Use the dried peels in your witches bottle.
Dry oranges and hang them.
During imbolc you can plant a potato with a piece of paper or leaf with intention of protection for your home and bury the potato.
Ostara you can make eggshells to sprinkle or egg candles.
Beltane and Litha you can use fire to your advantage for extra potent protection spell work.
Mabon is a great time to do summer pots, add apples, cinnamon, lemons, and oranges.
Samhain you can make sachets, charm bags, ancestors altar, wreath, carve pumpkins.
Yule is a fun time of year. Lighting candles, Simmer pots of apples and cinnamon, hang pine cones, wreath made of pine, yule log.
