The Protection Candle Spell combines the powerful elements of fire and salt to create a barrier that wards off harmful influences.

What is a Protection Candle Spell?

A Protection Candle Spell is a ritual that uses the energy of a burning candle, combined with sacred oils and salt, to create a shield against negativity and harm. The flame of the candle represents strength and willpower, while salt is known for its purifying and protective properties. By infusing these elements with your intention, the spell creates a powerful safeguard.

Magical Properties of the Protection Candle Spell

• Cleansing: The candle flame burns away negativity, while the salt purifies the space and body.
• Protective barrier: The spell sets up a shield of energy to prevent harm from reaching you or your home.
• Grounding: Using Saturn’s influence, the spell provides stability and grounding, ensuring your protection is strong and enduring.
• Empowerment: This spell gives you control over the energy in your space, helping you maintain safety and peace.

How to Perform the Protection Candle Spell

You will need:

• Black or white candle
• Protection oil (such as rosemary, sage, or frankincense)
• Salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Anoint the Candle: Take your chosen candle (black for banishing negativity or white for general protection) and anoint it with a protection oil. Oils such as rosemary, sage, or frankincense are ideal for this purpose, as they are known for their cleansing and protective properties.
2. Roll the Candle in Salt: Once the candle is anointed, roll it in salt. The salt will stick to the oil, adding an extra layer of purification and protection to the spell.
3. Light the Candle: As you light the candle, focus on your intention for protection. Visualise a protective barrier forming around you or your home, growing stronger as the candle burns.
4. Speak the Words: Say the incantation, “By flame and salt, I guard against harm.” Let the power of your words amplify the protective energy you are creating.
5. Allow the Candle to Burn Fully: For the spell to be complete, allow the candle to burn down completely. As it does, know that the protective energy has been set into motion, surrounding you or your space with a shield of safety.
