Protection Against Evil Intentions 

Ingredients:

• Garlic cloves (for protection and repelling negativity)

• Red pepper flakes (for strength and to deter malicious energy)

• Black salt (a mix of salt and ashes; for grounding and protection)

• White candle (for purity, light, and divine protection)

Instructions

1. Preparing the Ingredients and Setting Intention
   Begin by sitting in a calm, quiet space. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself, focusing on your intention to protect yourself and your home from harm. Hold each ingredient in your hands as you lay it out, imagining it charged with your intent. Visualize a protective barrier around you and your home, like a shield of light.

2. Creating the Protective Mixture

   • Place a few garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes into a small bowl. As you add each ingredient, imagine it filling with protective energy.

   • Recite: “Garlic to guard, pepper to sting; shield this home from harmful things.”
     This incantation connects the items’ natural properties—garlic for protection and pepper for strength—with your purpose, empowering them as symbols of defense.

3. Creating a Circle of Black Salt

   • Sprinkle a circle of black salt around the bowl, visualizing it as a barrier that traps and dissolves any harmful intent. Picture this salt as an impenetrable line of defense, blocking any ill will or jealousy from crossing into your space.

   • Recite: “Black salt surround, black salt defend; no malice shall cross, no ill shall ascend.”
     This affirmation reinforces the circle as a symbolic boundary that contains and repels negativity.

4. Lighting the White Candle and Summoning Protection

   • Light the white candle, symbolizing purity, light, and divine protection. As it burns, imagine the flame illuminating your space and filling it with positive energy.

   • Place your hands near the candle flame (without touching it) to warm them, focusing on its light as a purifying force.

   • Recite: “No harm shall pass, no ill shall enter. This home, this heart, under Heaven’s watch shall prosper.”
     Envision this spoken intention spreading throughout your home, protecting you from all malice or ill intent. This invocation calls upon the strength of divine protection, creating a sense of peace and security.

5. Carrying the Bowl to Each Corner of Your Home

   • Begin at the entrance of your home, then move clockwise to each corner, carrying the bowl in both hands. As you enter each space, imagine the protective energy emanating from the bowl and infusing each area with a shield against negativity.

   • At each corner, repeat the prayer:
     “Garlic and pepper, strong and true, protect this space from all that’s untrue.
     Black salt and flame, guard and defend; let no evil here descend.”

   • Pause in each corner, visualizing the protective energy “anchoring” into that spot, creating an unbroken boundary of safety around your home.

6. Burying the Garlic and Pepper Near the Front Door

   • After visiting each corner, return to the entrance of your home. Find a spot near the front door to bury the garlic cloves and pepper flakes, anchoring your protective intentions in the ground. Burying these items near the door symbolically “plugs” the main point of entry, keeping negativity outside.

   • Recite: “Ground below, protect and hold; shield this space from harms untold. What’s buried here, keep all safe and sound; let no malice cross this ground.”

7. Letting the Candle Burn Out

   • Leave the candle in a safe place to burn out on its own. As it continues to burn, visualize it radiating protective light throughout your home, reinforcing the spell’s power. The gradual burning of the candle represents the endurance of your protective barrier, slowly releasing its energy until it safely extinguishes.

   • As the candle dims, affirm one last time:
     “Light above, guard below; let only goodness in my home flow.”

Purpose:

To protect oneself and one’s home from jealousy, malice, and the “evil eye,” forming a protective barrier that wards off harmful intentions.

Origins:

Each step in this ritual uses common items to create a sense of defense and strength, drawing from their historical associations with protection and repelling malice. Garlic, pepper, salt, and fire have been revered across cultures as guardians against harm; combining them in this way physically represents your intention to shield your home.

The black salt circle mimics an energetic boundary that holds negativity away, while the white candle represents a guiding light of purity and divine protection. Each ingredient, each gesture, is carefully chosen to represent a type of shielding or barrier, turning ordinary actions into powerful symbols of resilience. Carrying the bowl to each corner symbolically places protective energy throughout your entire space, ensuring comprehensive protection.

The final act of burying the ingredients and leaving the candle to burn out mirrors the concept of enduring protection, anchoring your intentions both in the ground and in the flame’s light. In this way, the spell uses simple, familiar elements to symbolically shield against negativity, giving a tangible form to the act of warding off harmful intentions.
