The New year is a good time to cleanse out the past and prepare for the year ahead. It’s a great time to upgrade your personal and spiritual protections as well. We are here to help with some protection symbols that should fit into your home no matter your style.
A Cross
Though this is typically seen as a Christian symbol, it still holds an immense amount of power. Also, let’s not forget about our fellow Christian Witches who successfully mix their spiritualities every day. Wear this symbol or draw in on any item to invoke the power of universal love and protection. These powers help ward away bad luck, illness, harmful energies, and physical harm. Be sure to always let your cross know what you need help with, in order to direct its charge to a specific purpose.
Evil Eye Warding Charm
In many European cultures, evil eye warding charms represent a fake version of your own eye that is meant to distract harmful energies from finding your real eye. In Middle Eastern and Greek cultures, this fake eye is typically a blue glass bead that is used to protect against the evil thoughts that are sent to you.
Hand of Fatima
Also known as Hamsa, this symbol features a palm with the fingers of the hand, which are pressed together like the universal symbol of “stop”. It literally stops things from harming you. In the center of the palm is a single eye, which is similar to the Evil Eye charm. The Hamsa is known in Middle East cultures as the hand of God. This is another symbol that wards off the evil eye, but it also works to bring divine intervention to anything that would cause you harm.
There are many more protection charms from pentacles to the Eye of Horus. Find what symbols resonate with you then add them to your home or wear them to wrap yourself in an extra layer of protection in the year ahead.
