Hello! I have come here once more to ask about wards and protection spells. I have my own protection sigil, and I recently (within the last month) have moved into a new living space. So like any human with any kind of sense, I would like to have this space protected. However, I do not have any knowledge about wards at all. The only thing I know is that you have to have an object that represents the ward. Is there more I should know? Is there a better way to protect the living space? What do I need to know/have before trying to set up a ward? Are there any recommendations for books/blogs/reading/videos you have that might help? Thank you all in advance! May whatever you do be as you so mote it be!

Well, black tourmaline and hematite are used for warding. Madrake or oregano are also usable. You can also create a sigil for warding: https://www.thewitchofwonderlust.com/forum/help-questions/wards . I cant remember anything else to tell you about, just make sure you are only warding the negative energies.
cleanse first
I like to cleanse(smudge stick) first to get rid of anything there before I got there, there's no use putting up a "wall" of protection if you just end up "locking" something inside!!
Then I do protective charms, theres lots of things you can do,
my favourite is to just take a whole heap of smaller protective items like lavender, obsidian, amethyst etc i put the in a little pouch and then I make a little hollow animal out of clay(eg a german shepard) with the pouch inside, sun dry it, and sit him right by my door to protect the house, covered by the door overhang usually, but not necessarily protected, if the clay gets too dry and cracks open to the core or he gets super wet and melts into a puddle, I say he's done his job defending the house, bury him, cleanse any crystals used, and make a new one. Usually my little guard animals actually last years, it takes either a freak weather event(eg a flood one year where miraculously my house stayed pretty dry compared to some others so i still think he did his job) or just one day they'll randomly be broken, in which case I say they definitely protected the house from something supernatural.
I like my little guard animals because they are cute and also kinda unassuming for being visible to the street, other protective spells may need you to put them very obviously on doors etc which I'm not super happy with doing in my neighborhood.
I don't know much about sigils but it could easily be incorporated into the charms if you wanted by writing them on a thing to put with the charms, or maybe even on the base of your animal.
Wow sorry that was way longer than i meant it to be
@Melissa Mel OMG THIS IS SO FRICKIN' COOL! This is an awesome idea I absolutely LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing, you are a genius.
Fall in the city of Witches...
I want to give thanks to the universe for the fantastic week I spent in Salem. We were there for the Hunters Moon and they were also hosting the annual psychic faire--- it was wall to wall Witches.…
I did the majority of my holiday shopping, doing my part to support the local Witch economy…
I purchased some really beautiful handcrafted pieces (they managed to find me)---the food was a beautiful thing as well!…If you ever get the chance to go to Salem, I highly recommend you do it in the fall, so very efin magical!!! …Blessings
I have a Gargoyle statue that I blessed with the four elements, then I held my hands over it and asked it to guard my home and those in it. I repeat it about once a month. You can do that or some other statue. Predatory animal figurines and/or pictures like lions or wolves work well too.
Trouble sleeping alone at night.
Hi guys, I am Musica, I am a baby witch still on a very basic learning phase and I am having trouble sleeping alone at night with lights out it feels like somebody is watching me and haunting me although I know its not like this but my mind doesn't tend to understand this. Can any of you help me craft a work for getting rid of this or just a simple permanent solution with or without magick? Pleaee help!
I use a salt lamp by my bed. a little extra light really helps me with that. And salt is protective and purifying, so there's that. Hope this helped.
@Shasta Snep Thank you so much... I will try this. Blessed be! ❤
