Protection Spells: Complete Guide to Magical Shielding & Warding
By Nicole, Founder of Mystic Ryst
Protection spells are magical workings designed to shield you, your loved ones, your home, and your energy from harm, negativity, psychic attacks, and unwanted influences. In a world full of energies—both positive and negative—protection magic is essential for maintaining your energetic boundaries, safety, and peace of mind.
Protection spells work by creating energetic shields, wards, and barriers that deflect or absorb negative energy before it reaches you. They can protect against physical danger, emotional harm, psychic attacks, negative entities, jealousy, ill wishes, and general negativity. Regular protection work is like locking your doors at night—simple spiritual hygiene that keeps you safe.
This is your complete guide to protection spells—types of protection, powerful spells, protective tools, and building a strong magical defense.
