All magic users shine like beacons in the spiritual world, and the light you cast will draw negative energy, harmful spirits, and baneful people. Whether you know it or not, if you use magic, you are going into battle.

This book is your shield.

Protection Spells of a Wicked Witch will teach you why witches need protection magic, how to identify the types of magical dangers you will face, and how you can overcome the problem.

Here are just a few of the spells and techniques you'll learn:

• Rue Water - to break spells and protect from magical attack.

You'll learn how to protect yourself, your home, and your loved ones. And, if needed, how to send a magical attack right back at the sender.

Sometimes, the best defense requires you to be a little wicked.

Protection Magic

Patti Wigington is a pagan author, educator, and licensed clergy. She is the author of Daily Spellbook for the Good Witch, Wicca Practical Magic and The Daily Spell Journal.

In many magical traditions, workings can be done to ensure protection of home, property, and people. In fact, protection magic is one of the oldest and most popular purposes for magical spellwork. The use of protection spells has been documented back to the times of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, and is found in magical belief systems from all over the world. There are a number of simple ways you can do protection workings using items you probably already have around your house.

As I draw nearer, the witch turns towards me, a hint of surprise evident in her expression. In that moment, our paths intertwine, and a unique connection forms. The two of us become intertwined within the cherry blossom narrative, bound by the beauty that encapsulates us.

Make an Onion Braid

This is a simple protection charm to hang in your home to protect those who live there. Braiding is a very relaxing and magical way to spend an evening, and by braiding your onions, you can prepare them for winter storage – basically, you're accomplishing the magical and the mundane all in one shot. To do this, you'll need a bunch of onions with the green tops still attached, and about four feet of heavy twine. Begin folding the twine in half, and tying a knot near the end, creating a loop. Lay the twine on a flat surface and place an onion upside down so that the greens of the onion form a third "string", along with the two free ends of the twine.

Using the two free lengths of twine and the onion stem, form a tight braid. Repeat this until the onion is securely in place. Repeat the process with the rest of your onions, braiding them in and out between the other stems and the two strands of twine. As you do so, focus your intent. Onions are magically linked to protective magic, so you can braid the onions and recite an incantation linking them to whatever sort of protection you feel you need. Some sample incantations might be:

For protection of a home:

As days pass, our friendship blossoms like the delicate flowers that surround us. I learn that the witch possesses extraordinary powers, capable of both great good and immense darkness. But rather than fearing her abilities, I find solace in the understanding that lies deep within her. Together, we embark on an unexpected journey, traversing the enchanted realm that lies beyond the cherry tree grove. Through sprawling meadows, mystical forests, and ancient ruins, we unlock the secrets of this fantastical world, discovering its hidden wonders and confronting its dark forces. Throughout our adventures, the cherry blossoms serve as a constant reminder of the ephemeral nature of life. Their fleeting beauty reminds us to treasure every moment shared, for like the blossoms, our time together is limited. As the seasons change, so too does our bond. Like the cherry blossoms that fall to the ground, our friendship begins to wane. The witch must return to her realm, leaving me with cherished memories and a heart filled with gratitude for the time we spent together. But even as she fades from my life, a lesson remains. Our entwined journey in the cherry blossom narrative taught me that friendships can form in the most unexpected of places, transcending ordinary boundaries. It taught me to embrace the beauty in others, even when it may appear unconventional. And most importantly, it reminded me of the power of human connection, capable of bridging even the widest gap between worlds. In the end, the witch and I part ways, forever entwined in the narrative of the cherry blossoms. And as each spring comes to pass, I am reminded of our shared adventure, our intertwining paths, and the magic that comes when unlikely souls cross paths amidst a sea of blossoms..
