What You’ll Need

Core Items

1 small glass jar with lid (clear or dark)
Black or white candle for sealing the spell
Small piece of paper & pen for your intention

Protective Herbs

Sage – cleanses and removes negative or stagnant energy
Black pepper – adds a strong, fiery barrier of protection
Rosemary – shields against harmful energy and supports clarity

Protection Crystals

Black tourmaline – absorbs negativity and keeps you grounded
Clear quartz – amplifies your intention and strengthens your energetic shield

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Cleanse your jar and tools with sage smoke, incense, or any cleansing method you prefer. Visualize any lingering energy being cleared away.
2

On your paper, write a clear intention such as:
“I am protected, safe, and surrounded by strong, supportive energy.”
Fold the paper toward you and place it at the bottom of the jar.
3

Add your herbs—sage, black pepper, and rosemary—layering them slowly. Imagine a shield of protective light forming around you or your home with each pinch.
4

Place your crystals inside the jar. See black tourmaline drawing out negativity and clear quartz amplifying your protective boundary.
5

Close the lid and light your black or white candle. When you feel ready, drip wax over the lid to seal the spell, focusing on your intention for safety and protection.
6

Place the jar somewhere meaningful—by your front door, in your bedroom, near your altar, or in any area you want to keep shielded.

To recharge your protection: Hold the jar in both hands and visualize a bright, electric blue or white light flowing into it. You can also relight a candle next to it during times when you feel you need extra protection.
