A Protection Charm Bag is a small powerful bag filled with magical ingredients to shield you and/or your loved ones from harm. This really easy magical technique is perfect for adding personal touches to your magic and is totally customizable to what you might already have on hand.
What is a Protection Charm Bag
A Protection Charm Bag is basically any bag (usually small) that has been filled with objects that have been charged with your energy to shield and protect. It’s typically filled with items such as crystals, herbs, nails, egg shells or any other things representing protection to you. It can also include personal effects such as locks of hair or any other items tying the energy to its wearer.
These little charms, although small in size, can carry a lot of personal power in shielding energy from negativity, bad influences and warding off evil. The best part is that they are super versatile and can be made any way you want.
Choosing Your Protective Items
Some common items that can be included in protection bags are:
-
Salt: Absorbs negative energy, creates a boundary.
-
Rosemary: Cleanses and protects, keeps the mind sharp.
-
Cloves and Cinnamon: Repels negativity and adds fiery protection.
-
Black Pepper: Adds strength and shields from harm.
-
Bay Leaves: Brings protection and strength.
-
Garlic: Wards off evil and negative energy.
-
Iron Nails/Steel: Reinforces your shield and wards off attacks.
-
Personal Items: Your hair, pet’s fur, or a thread from your favorite shirt for extra personal power.
You can include one or many of these items, but the key is to remember to add things that you feel an emotional connection to, even if they're not on this list, that align with the type of protection you need—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional.
How To Assembling Your Bag
-
Step 1: Gather your ingredients—No measurements required. Just use a pinch of each item or however much you want.
-
Step 2: Set your intention. Before adding each item to the bag, set the intentions. Hold each item and say out loud what it should be used for. For example if you are using a crystal, hold it in your hand and say I charge this crystal to ward off negativity.
-
Step 3: Add each ingredient with emotion. As you place each item in the bag, focus on their energy and visualize protective energy coming from each piece.
-
Step 4: Tie the bag securely.
Using Your Protective Charm Bag
Keep your charm bag in your pocket or purse when keeping it with you. In your home, place it in doors, windows or in the corners of your home to keep your space safe. You can also sleep with it under your pillow to prevent psychic attacks at night.
Your protection charm bag isn’t static—it can be refreshed, recharged, or modified over time to keep up with your changing needs. As your circumstances evolve, you can add new ingredients that better align with your current intentions or simply recharge the bag by placing it under the moonlight or with a candle to renew its power. Switch out herbs, crystals, or personal items whenever you need a fresh boost of protection.
Creating a protection charm bag is a simple but powerful way to enhance your magical practice and protect your energy. Whether you're shielding your home or carrying it with you, a charm bag can act as a constant reminder that you're safe, strong, and in control of the energy around you.
