TwitchyWitchyOne’s Aggressive Home Protection Spell Bottle
I used every item I had on hand for this spell bottle, because we’re going through a mildly nasty separation from our roommate. I went for equal parts aesthetic and function (because I want it to be on display in my living room), so I’m going to include the order in which I added ingredients, but it’s not really necessary. Feel free to use as is, modify for what you have on hand, or for your personal preferences.
Tools:
A bottle/jar/container with a cork/lid.
A brown candle.
Ingredients (remember you can use whatever you have or prefer instead):
Black Beans (dry): protection, defense, strength.
Red Beans (dry): health, energy, compassion.
Chilli Powder: repelling negative energy.
Cinnamon (ground and stick): protection, strength, prosperity.
Cloves: banishing, protection.
Cumin: protection.
Garlic (ground and whole): protection, guard against negative energy.
Nutmeg: protection, prosperity.
Rosemary (ground and whole): good health.
Black Pepper: protection against evil.
Salt: protection.
Ginger (ground and whole): strengthens the other ingredients.
Charged/Infused Water (feel free to charge however you want or infuse with any herbs or crystals you feel would be helpful)
Spell:
While adding each ingredient, focus on the property you need from it. Say “I/We are ___” inserting the property you are focused on. When something had a property other than protection, I used it. Protection is the point of the bottle as a whole, so you don’t need to say it with every protection herb you add. You know?
The order in which I added ingredients:
1. Black Beans (“We are strong.”)
2. Salt (“We are safe.”)
3. Cloves (“We banish negative energy.”)
4. Cumin (“We are safe.”)
5. Chilli Powder (“We repel negative energy.”)
6. Nutmeg (“We are prosperous.”)
7. Ground Garlic (“We guard against negative energy.”)
8. Ground Cinnamon (“We are prosperous.”)
9. Black Pepper (“We protect against evil.”)
10. Ground Rosemary (“We are healthy.”)
11. Ground Ginger (“We strengthen.”)
12. Red Beans (“We are compassionate.”)
13. Whole Garlic (“We guard against negative energy.”)
14. Whole Ginger (“We strengthen.”)
15. Whole Cinnamon (“We are prosperous.”)
16. Whole Rosemary (“We are healthy.”)
17. Charged/Infused Water (whatever you charged or infused it with.)
Close the bottle/jar. Heat the bottom of a candle to make it stick to the cork/lid of your bottle/jar. Light the candle. Think (or say) “Our home is safe. Our home is whole. Our home is blessed.” Let the candle burn out to seal the bottle/jar.
If you want to, at this point you can add any sigils, symbols, ribbons, anything else that will have meaning and also be nice to look at.
One of my friends is traveling home for the holidays, so I made him a small spell jar that he can carry on his person. I love these tiny little jars, they are perfect to keep in your pocket, wallet, or bag!
~ What you will need ~
Rosemary – for good health and protection
Angelica – for protection, and to ward off negative energy while calling in good energy
Alkanet – for prosperity
Sea Salt – for protection
Agate – for security and inner stability
Fireberry (Pyracantha) – for boundary protection (I keep my berries frozen so when I use them they don’t break or explode on me. Please note that fireberry is mildly poisonous when raw and eaten in large amounts.)
While I put everything together, I pictured my friend’s journey from start to finish. I projected happiness, safety and protection onto the image of him traveling and linked it to the jar. Because I want him to have a relaxing plane ride, I pictured him flying each way and willed the jar to bring him comfort.
Safe travels to everyone for the coming holidays!!
p u r p o s e – To dispel, eradicate, and keep away negative and harmful energy.
s u p p l i e s
various herbs and oils* (I used mugwort, mint, sage, parsley, eucalyptus, green tea, geranium oil, and sweet marjoram oil)
jar with lid
dragons blood incense
permanent marker
*This is a very personal spell meant to protect you, your home, things that are important to you, so use herbs and oils that you personally associate with protection/cleansing!
Mix the herbs and oils in the jar.
Create a sigil that represents protection/safety/cleansing. Make sure it is simple enough that you can fit it on the lid of your jar. (Psst… here is a great tutorial on sigil crafting.)
Draw your sigil on the inside of your lid with a permanent marker so it doesn’t rub off.
Charge the sigil in your favorite way, then hold it in the smoke of the incense. Alternatively, if you have cone incense, you can burn it on top of the lid the sigil is drawn on.
Dump the ashes in the jar, and seal the lid.
All done! Now put the jar in a safe place, and charge periodically by shaking it.

You can do the same thing in a smaller jar (like a baby food jar) and carry it with you, just make sure you seal it well!
It wouldn’t hurt to recharge the sigil every so often and adding more dragons blood ashes to the jar.
My essentials are: sea salt on hand (my container of sea salt sits on a shelf rather than in a cupboard) and chalk.
Chalk’s super handy because you can draw on just about any surface with whatever symbols you find protective (or just write some words you find a source of protection or strength in)
Salt’s useful to pour over doorways/windows/other thresholds to protect. I know one witch in Hawai’i that had a little mound of sea salt on their front step. Swore up and down that it protected them from their abusive father’s ghost.
The best protection spells are the simplest ones I find. Growing protective herbs or plants at the door. Wash the floor with water that’s you’ve laced with protective energy or herbs/crystals/etc.
Iron is super useful. I got two huge iron nails at Lowe’s for .97 each. I doused them with protective oils (a really, really foul smelling oil I made up) and stuck them out in the yard on either side of the door. I know someone who keeps a pair of scissors in the window to ward of fae. (I keep a pair of scissors under the bed for the same reason).
A witch-bottle is super useful and doesn’t need to be complicated. Some broken glass, nails, and whatever other nasty things you can thing of go inside a jar you don’t want (spaghetti sauce jars are perfect for this). Cap the bottle, cover it in wax, and bury it in the yard (or if you don’t have a yard, a flower pot).
Charm bags are super easy to make and only require something to fill a charm bag. For an emergency, you can use a cupcake wrapper tied into a ball, a piece of paper or paper towel folded like a triangle. Many protection herbs are found in the kitchen or can be taken out of neighbor’s yards or parks it’s you’re truly desperate.
I also keep an object by the door that I touch each day as I leave the house. I started this by saying, “I will have a good day. I will be protected.” And now it’s become habit to not even bother saying the little words but just touching it. I did the same thing for my mother but I made it her key holder rack by the door.
As for what to do with the spirit… If you’re comfortable with divination you can try that. Or you can do what my brother and I do: we just tell the spirit flat-out: “here’s the rules” and then lists what is and isn’t acceptable, just like you would a new room or housemate. We aren’t hostile about it, just matter of fact.
Hellooo everyone! I did a lil something to celebrate summer since I’m finally officially on holiday! ♡
Materials:
• salt
•black pepper
•rose thorns (pins will work as well)
•sea water (you’ll need just a few drops)
•rosemary
•sage
•lavender
•seaglass
•basil
•4 candles (one for each element- I used blue for water, red for fire, black for earth and white for air.)
•marker
•4 sea shells (like these ☟)
☾1☽ Draw on the inside of the shells the symbols of the elements (one on each)
☾2☽ Light the candles, then place the herbs, salt and seaglass inside of each shell (the order does not matter). Sprinkle the sea water on the shells; while you do so visualize your goal, for example protecting your house from thunderstorms, from burglars… whatever you need
☾3☽ When you’re done, pour the wax of each candle on the corresponding shell to seal it.
☾4☽ Once the wax has cooled down, place the water seashell west, the air one east, the earth one north and the fire one south.
You can bury them in the garden or if you don’t have one you can bury them in small jars. You can also keep them on the floor or forniture inside your house! ♡
