![]() Try getting some holy water or using your cleansing spray to anoint doorways with protective runes or sigils to ward off bad things too. Carrying protective crystals or using enchanted jewelry, especially black stones like snowflake obsidian, can be a great personal ward. Sigils, which are magical symbols created with specific intent, can also be great for this - you can hide them under your pillow or phone case, for instance. One of the best ways to ward a space is by laying down a line of salt underneath windowsills and doorways to keep bad energy from coming in. Also remember that you’ll have to check and charge your wards regularly, to make sure they’re still working. Now, there are two types of wards - spacial (for a room) and personal (for yourself). If cleansing is removing bad energy from a room, then Warding is protecting yourself and keeping it from getting in in the first place. For the ingredients for a cleansing spray, use moon water (or regular water in a pinch), bay leaves, rosemary, lemon juice, a cinnamon stick and garden sage (don’t use white sage, it’s endangered and used only by native americans, you can actually get garden sage at the grocery store instead). You can also make your own cleansing spray if that works for you. You can cleanse objects by leaving them out in the sun or moonlight (remember to check what moon phase it is and use the correspondences for it), and a super simple way to cleanse a space or yourself is with sound - ringing a bell, ritual drums, wind chimes and even just walking around your room and clapping is a great way to cleanse. You can cleanse yourself by taking a ritual bath or shower (focusing on your intent to cleanse yourself), and you can cleanse a room by keeping a bowl of salt in there. Lighting incense (especially frankincense) is also a good way to do a smoke cleansing, especially since burning herbs isn’t exactly discreet if you’re trying to hide your craft from your parents. ![]() Remember to try and open a window to let the fresh air and sunlight in too. The first step to cleansing a space is to clean it up a little, to remove any built up energy. There’s tons of different ways to cleanse, so pick whatever works best for you. You should cleanse when you’re feeling upset or like the energy of a room/your energy is off, if you’re sick, following a breakup or loss, after a fight, during a major life transition (like a graduation, moving out, etc) and when you’re just feeling stuck in life. Cleansing is the act of removing negative energy from yourself or a space. So, the first step of learning witchy protection is Cleansing.
