If you just moved into your new home or you had someone you love pass away in your home, you are going to feel a certain feeling of being bare and and there’s a certain heaviness in the air, you are going to want to protect your home from not only physical harm but also negativity.
Ever wondered why some places just make you feel icky or nervous or just plain down? Like when you step in you immediately feel that there is something in the place. It makes you feel sick, dizzy, weak, and it’s not just a matter of a lack of ventilation.
Your home can draw in and store negative energy if you don’t take steps to drive it away. Luckily, Wicca involves a lot of blocking and driving away negativity. Our tools also function to drive away negativity.
Here are 7 tools to help keep your home safe from physical and spiritual harm.
The pentacle is a very powerful protector of a person or place. Our ancestors would simply carve out the symbol of the pentacle to protect their dwellings. Having the pentacle symbol on your front door will help protect it and everyone living in it. You can also have a pentacle door sign or a pentacle door knocker. Having everyone in your household wear a pentacle necklace or bracelet will also help protect them from harm.

Sage incense or smudging with sage has the power to disturb negative spirits. The most protective herbs for incense are sandalwood, patchouli, myrrh, frankincense and sage. For smudging it’s sweetgrass, white sage, blue sage, cedar, and lavender. Always have incense lit up in your home to repel negative spirits and smudge on a regular basis to get rid of any stored negative energy in your home.
Chamomile is known for its protective powers. Sprinkle chamomile flowers around your home to remove hexes. Create an infusion to wash your windows and doors with to keep unwanted energies out.
Creating a circle of sea salt around your home will also prevent any negative energies from crossing over it and reaching your home. You can make a salt circle around your home, add a line of salt by your door and your window sills just to cover all your bases.
Crystals create a circle of protection pretty quickly. You are going to need more than one. Four crystals is the minimum number of crystals you need to form a circle of protection. A crystal should be placed by the cardinal points. Negative spirits are gonna find it impossible to cross that circle of crystals. And if they do, they can get trapped inside. Place crystals by your windows and doors to prevent entry of negative spirits.
Gemstones, depending on its intrinsic quality, can protect you and your home from unwanted negative spirits and vibrations. The Amethyst for example blocks manipulative spells and Obsidian cancels negative energies. Wearing jewelry with gemstones or placing gemstones strategically in your house will help block and cancel negative vibrations.
The broom or besom is a symbol of cleansing. A besom placed by the door of any household will block negative spirits from entering. If your besom falls to the ground, it means a negative spirit has entered your house.

Thank you for this article. I learned a couple of new things (chamomile scattered around the house and the besom by the door) and always anxious to learn more. Smudging, crystals (black tourmaline, obsidian and selenite) sea salt (for outside) and himalayan black salt (for inside cleaning) are things with which I’m familiar. A witch bottle is buried outside on the approach to our two main doors. I was raised in the rural backwoods near the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp at the Southeastern end of the Bible Belt. My religious views aren’t an issue, though I was raised in and around the Christian Protestant bunch, but down here folks always had an herbalist element that they practiced along with other things that I have come to conclude as being spell work. Example: Drawing a rain turtle on the ground during a drought to help bring rain. Another being the practice of catching rain water for various things and charging it under the moon or the sun. I’m blessed far beyond what most folks find themselves and mostly just try to keep negativity at bay, but find myself wanting to help others mainly with health issues. It seems that being now in my 60’s, most folks I know have ailments with which they need help and I find myself woefully deficient in being able to render help. I appreciate any and all knowledge that y’all are willing to share.
Interesting though I’ve been using 🐲 👀 symbol to protect my house as well as necklace’s i turned into amulets as well as hand gestures and signs good info very very good info
Great read!!! I have placed gemstones and crystals in a baby food jar with Florida water in them and buried them around the four corners of my new home. I have pentacle chimes hanging at front and back doors.
I have a broom that was made for me hanging in our living room.
Reading this is a refresher and wonderful to share. Thank you
Thank you, I’m just finding my feet again so to speak, but this last year has been one of the most difficult. My husband has been missing since March and his family is probably the greediest people I’ve ever met. I’m also from the bible belt, so was always kind of afraid to embrace my own beliefs. After everything that’s happened I’ve finally realized life is too short to let fear hold me back. Looking forward to learning more from you and hell honestly about myself lol.
Thank you for the refresher. It was great to see some known information and some new information!
This is very much needed. My husband and I are going through a separation and until I can find a place we are currently residing in the same home. The negativity is overwhelming. Thank you.
I have most of these things ,also have an alter to practice my spells. I only do good and always trying to protect my family. Very interesting article, can’t wait to read more. Thank. You.
Thank you for all the information it is very helpful since I am new. I do have most of the item’s which are listed but I do need to get some Chamomile. Keep the information coming it is all very helpful. Thank you again. Blessed be
Thank you. Very helpful knowledge, I didnt know that it takes 4 crystals to create a circle if protection (Ive been looking for mine lately since the move) another new thing I learned was the broom, I buy them and make them on occasion to put up in my home or gift out to friends, knowing that if it falls theres a negative energy present will help me know to sage, there’s been times when i def needed to sage, but there’s been tines when I have actually lived in a home where someone had passed and i never felt negative auroras or the need to sage for that matter. I wonder how or why?
Enjoyed the article. Would love to find a pentacle door knocker. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for this wonderful article I have come across quite a few of these in previous material I’ve read but never to this extend I plan to get right on this and push some of this negative energy right back where it came from Love & Light
I have felt like something is in my home for a few months now. I have seen things move on their own also. I smudged and it has not really worked that well. I am very excited to try the things suggested in your blog.
my grandma use to do a couple if these and passed it down from generation to generation, however a few of these I have not tried after reading the article…… i will
I have read these and would love to use some of these to get rid of and ward off new negativities that may try to enter. I really loved reading the use of crystals. Is there a specific crystal that needs to be used, or is anu crystal acceptable?

Thank you really helpful
Awesome. I love it.
Thank you! Let the negativity be gone! Set me free!!
Thank you, this is really helpful.
Love this article, Thank you! Some I knew, but others I did not know. This will definitely help!
Very interesting
I found this very useful thank you.
Thanks for the information, some I already knew, but, it was still delightful reading.
Thanks for the info. I enjoyed reading it and please send me more information on negativity. I think sometimes I am cursed. Thanks again Victoria
I would love to involve about pendant but right now I can’t afford cuz I already shopping 2 days ago. So I can order on Sept for pendant called The Spell Casters and The Moonlight Monthly Club. I start with Wiccan when I was 26 cuz I learn that some of past generation were Indian, not India. I mean Native American. And also some other relatives from past generation who were some path something but not only one Wiccan but some others too. I start visions when I was 12 and learn that it was from my late mom. She died of murdered when I was 11 1/2 years old. She gave it to me of vision. I was shock when I saw her in my vision twice and now I understand what she want me to do. I start go to library to find out what vision was when I was 26 and learn that I have one when I read. I was shock but accept what I am. I love the altar and jewelries and still hard to find what was right for me in path. I dunno how to find which right for me in the path. That’s all.
That was a great article. Does the negative energies count when they come from your husband?
Interesting article. A lot of great ideas.
I’ve been doing this for years… I do take my Crystal’s and charge them on a full moon (when I remember)
Blessed be
Awesome info. LUV U 4 U
Great advice.
Thank you so much for the information. Im still fairly new to the path and any information is greatly appreciated. Blessed Be❤
After reading the article I remember That I do have some of the items already around my home. Some have been from when we first got the home in 2004. I think I had better redo them again. Thank you for the article .
Been doing these things for years
Very nice article, I thank you for your information. I live by these, have so my whole life. Looking forward to more articles, Blessed Be✨💫💜🌙
Great article. Very informative, thank you
Very informative. The you for including me. Blessed Be
My husband and I are anxiously awaiting our new house to be finished. This is excellent information. Thank you so much!
Nice article, well laid out and easy to understand. I appreciate an and all information i get. Blessed be!
Thank you for the article. It is a great one for beginners. I have only been an open pagan for a relatively short time and have run into many issues because of it but I’ve decided I wish I had felt free to be so open much earlier but didn’t because of my kids father’s family and my own. I didn’t want to cause problems for my children. Hang the rest. But they have been on their own for sometime now and are supportive of me and my faith and interests. I had a lot of childhood trauma, some I still don’t remember and quite frankly glad I don’t remember more than I do. I will turn 60 this year and don’t care whether my family and some friends stay with me or not. If they can’t be supportive then I don’t want them. The more I let go the better I feel. I have quietly practiced for a long time now. I am very eclectic, empathic, sensitive, well aware of other spirits (and have banished some, conversed with others). I am the person others talk to and used to be a great helper of others but burned out personally because of the demand. Now I am more at peace with it all but life is a bit difficult because of fibro, long time ulcers, severe arthritis and migraines. I love crystals and stones, herbs and the like. I am an artist who thrives on painting flowers, plants (macros are a favorite), landscapes but have a couple of family commissions for precious animal paintings. Sometimes I paint very meaningful things that make people think. I have a few close friends and my children that I cherish. Nice to have somewhere I can get things I cannot source locally. Thanks for having me.
Great advice and tips for newcomers ❤️✌️
What a great article! I finally found a place I could shop at all the time. Blessed be.

I am a new witch I need all the information and help I can get on my new path this was very interesting thank you look forward to more articles Blessed Be.
I found it interesting! I didn’t know about the chamomile flowers. lol
The article was very informative, especially for a young witch. I am 62, a crone and very blessed to be here. I still have to keep my lifestyle to myself with some of my family. I have come to terms with that and feel only love and joy because of who I am. Blessed be to all!!
Thankyou
Thank you this article. I have cleanse my house with white safe and have most of what is in the article scattered around the house. I am a very positive person, not much negativity makes into this house.
I have always known inhad.some kind as powers inside of me. Thank you to everyone at The Moonlight Shop for everything you do!
I was always called a witch by my mom and dad at a young age.
I was curious about spell casting and crystals as a teen so I started looking into it now im here. :)
My story is quiet the same from what I read
as the others. I’ve always known I was a witch
and I was blessed to have a mother -a very devoted Christian ! -who believed I had a gift and let me have the freedom to explore it. Now I practice my beliefs and accept what Ive been given, trying to help others. We all are drawing) from the same energy use it for the Good! Blessed Be!!! Heather )
I’m a druid and have been homeless sence I was 13 cause of it
I am bew here, I am not new to wicca but I am in a way. Since I was very little I would get graphic nightmares about family and other things. When I got a little older I was told by another witch that i have the gift of psychic dreams (sometime not such a gift) ad well as a channeling aura. I attract people similar to myself and always find myself in a sort of coven.
Loved the artical! I look forward to future ones!
I am pagan. MY brother is Wiccan. I am the balance of all evil and all good. however my path makes it harder
I loved the article. Please put more to read. I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much.
Thank you, I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to future articles
I have just started in the Wicca ways. I found the post very interesting. An very helpful I have a lot of negative in an around my home. So know I now what to do to help myself an husband, things will get better for us.
Thank You for the artical
I’m also from the bible belt. My family frowns and is very critical when I talk about wicca and witchcraft. I’ve always been interested but have only been practicing daily for the past year. I study daily. I wear a pentacle bracelet ,have a broom by my door,burn incense daily etc. I can’t get my spells to work though. What’s going on? Also I’m a cancer and I think I might be an empath. I also suffer from ptsd. Thank you
I live in the Bible Belt! Yeah lol. I had organized religion stuffed down my throat. I’m not Wiccan, I believe in one true God, yet, I’ve always known I was different. Especially as I grew older. I’m now 52, and just now have discovered I was born a witch. I was casting spells as a child yet didn’t even know that’s what I was doing. I’m a solitary witch. I was sexually abused as a child which caused great trauma, PTSD, etc.. Finally admitting what I am has given me peace. Of course, since my trauma as a child, everyone just thinks I’m crazy. I don’t care anymore. I stay to myself, with my boyfriend and my daughters. My stepfather is who abused me, I told my mom and she’s still with him, so I no longer communicate with her. I’m broke, literally poverty level, yet, content. Of course it would be nice to have enough money to get the things I have to do without, but, I’m free. Free to admit who I am and fee of abuse!!!!!!!!
I too am rather new to Wicca. I have been different my whole life. I know it’s not just me , I know there are others like me. Not just a pot head hippy.
I absolutely love this place it helps me so much through my life thank you blessed be
Thank you for all the wonderful information blessed be to you all
I love that you have this all available. As a beginner it’s hard to find some of this stuff. And when I do everyone always has an opinion. I just want to learn without fear ir judgement.
I want to get rid of the negativity in my home
Love this site just wish we could also share the pictures off here too blessed be to u all at moonlight shop
