How to Cast a Simple Full Moon Protection Spell (Step-by-Step Guide)
1. Gather Your Materials & Sacred Space
- List the essential items: white candle, black salt, small mirror, selenite crystal, and a fireproof dish.
- Cleanse your space with sage smoke or a bell chime to remove stagnant energy before you begin.
- Set up a small altar or flat surface facing east (the direction of new beginnings).
2. Time Your Spell for Maximum Power
- Perform the ritual on the night of the full moon – ideally between moonrise and midnight.
- Check the moon phase calendar and avoid eclipses or void-of-course moons for this specific working.
- If you miss the exact night, the day before or after still holds strong energy.
3. Ground Yourself & Set Your Intention

- Anoint the candle with a drop of olive oil (or a protective oil like frankincense) from wick to base.
- Place the candle in the fireproof dish, surrounded by a circle of black salt for extra warding.
5. Cast the Spell – Lighting & Symbols
- Light the candle and say: “By the light of the moon, I seal this ward. Negativity repelled, safely stored.”
- Draw a protective sigil (e.g., Algiz rune or a pentagram) in the air above the flame with your dominant hand.
- Place the small mirror facing outward behind the candle to reflect any unwanted energy back to its source.
6. Seal the Spell & Release the Energy
- Sit quietly for 5–10 minutes, watching the flame and repeating your intention three more times.
- Blow out the candle (do not snuff it) and thank the moon, the elements, and your guides.
- Keep the mirror and selenite crystal on your
