A Beginner’s Guide to Casting a Moonlight Protection Spell

What You’ll Need: Gathering Your Tools

• A small glass jar with a tight lid (preferably clear)
• Dried herbs for protection: rosemary, sage, and lavender
• A black or white candle, matches, and a small piece of selenite or black tourmaline

Choosing the Right Lunar Phase

• Full Moon offers the most potent energy for charging your protective tools
• New Moon works well for setting fresh intentions and beginning a protection cycle
• Avoid casting during an eclipse unless you have advanced experience

Purifying Your Space and Self

• Cleanse the room with smoke from sage or palo santo while opening a window
• Wash your hands and face with salt water to ground your personal energy
• Cast a simple circle of light by walking clockwise three times around your workspace

Assembling the Spell Jar

• Layer the dried herbs in the jar, visualising a protective barrier surrounding you
• Place the crystal on top and hold the jar in your dominant hand
• Close the lid tightly while whispering your personal protection affirmation (e.g., “I am safe, I am whole, I am shielded”)

Charging and Sealing the Spell

• Light the candle and pass the jar four times through the flame (avoid melting the lid)
• Set the jar in direct moonlight for at least one hour; if indoors, place it on a windowsill
• Extinguish the candle with your fingers or a snuffer – never blow it out – to preserve the energy

Maintaining and Recharging Your Spell

• Keep the jar on your altar, bedside table, or near your front door
• Recharge it by returning it to moonlight every full moon for a few hours
• If the jar breaks or the herbs become mouldy, bury the contents in earth and thank the ingredients
