Altar Protection Ward

Altar Protection Ward Bowl

Good morning moon babes! Were on day 4 of 31 days of Samhain, today we are going to be doing a protection working for your altar. This bowl is something I have shown different variations of through the years, as I truly make and place them ALL over my house. They are perfect to raise the energy in your space, protect your space, or even like were doing today - absorb negative energy that might find itself to your altar, while doing spiritual work, anything negative energy wise that others might send to you as well.

Things you'll need:

-Holy water or florida water - This is to cleanse your hands, the bowl and items prior to putting the ward together.

-Sea salt for absorbing negative energy and cleansing

-Petition - to your ancestors, highest good, deities, whoever youd like to petition to aid in your protection.

-Tobacco - this is a great offering to spirit, ward off illness,

-Kananga water

-Hyssop -cleansing, purification,

-Charcoal

-Ginger- adds strength to this working and speed, but like dandelion root it aids in digestion and absorption health wise, and here I like to also use it to absorb energy sent to my altar that I do not want to utilize.

-Angelica root- uncrossing,

-Dandelion root- this is actually bomb for absorbing nutrients health wise, and I loveee to ask the spirit of this herb to aid in absorbing specific energy from my space (here being negative energy thrown your way)

-Protective items you like, shells, teeth, glass, thorns ect

How to cast:

For this is is fairly “simple” it will work as a physical ward you can watch, smell, check up on daily. Pay attention to the herbs, how the salt at the bottom of the bowl looks, if anything is turing moldy, a foul odor ect. When you notice the bowl starting to gather that nasty energy you can either collect it for further use (this would be bomb in a later recipe that ill be sharing this month.) Cleanse your home, your hands, and your altar spiritually. Cleanse the bowl and your tools prior to activating them and then adding them one by one to your bowl. Once everything is assembled I spend between 5-10 minutes meditating over the bowl, imagining it like a venus fly trap consuming all of the energy that is nasty or otherwise not of your highest good or useful energy into the bowl. Once the appropriate amount of energy has been raised you can leave it on your altar. Charge it by adding more herbs, wrapping incense smoke around the bowl ect.

Let me know how you guys like this when you try it, And I cant wait for tomorrows post!

XOXO
