What is Magic?
Magic is the practice of moving energy on a supernatural level and it is intended to create a change on the mundane level. Energy is the basic life force that animates everything. Some people believe the same energy that animates human life animates all life on Earth and unites us all together. Magic seeks to move that life force in ways that benefit the person moving the energy. It can be something as simple as closing your eyes when there's something you don't want to see. It can also be something as simple as going completely silent when somebody is saying things that you don't want to hear. Some people think that magic is nothing but spellwork and magic words, but it's so much more.
Magic is designed to supplement the mundane level work we do to create changes in our lives or the world. It isn’t supposed to replace our efforts, though. If you want to protect your house from break ins, simply putting a protective talisman on the front door isn't enough. A security system, a barking dog, or making sure that you lock the door will do far more than just hanging the talisman. Magic comes in when shoring up protective measures aren't enough, and you want to move some energy too. Magical techniques include blessings and prayers, banishings, filling a space with blessed objects that are known to ward off negativity, and carefully controlling everything that comes into your home.
Some people think that magic is a very complicated set of actions that only a few very talented wizards, witches, and sorcerers can work. However, magic is a typical practice that human beings have used for all time. When you blow out birthday candles and make a wish, that's magic. When you say a prayer for safety before you get on an airplane, that's magic. When you name your child after a family member who you admire, love, and appreciate, that's not only honoring the family member, it’s hoping that the child embodies those honorable traits. That's magic too. You can work magic each season with nature and find out how to do it here: Magic with the Seasons
What is Magical Protection?
Magical protection is moving that energy in such a way that we ward off things that would harm us, or we bless ourselves so well that we are immune to attacks. Some people think of magical protection as fighting back, but it's so much more than that. Magical protection sets things up so that attacks can't even get through. What kind of things could attack us? Toxic relationships, vicious neighbors, angry strangers in public, frenemies, or even bitter coworkers are all people that can send negativity our way.

What kind of things can happen to us if we don't protect ourselves on the psychic level? Like having your house broken into or being a victim of a violent attack ,our psychic bodies can suffer. Psychic attacks can drain our energy and make us tired to the point that we could be more easily manipulated. It can even start infringing on our personal life and compromise our personal sense of happiness and well-being. Some people are very talented at draining energy with their psychic abilities, and they use this to prey on unsuspecting people or people who don't know how to protect themselves.
What Magical Protection Isn’t
Magical or psychic protection won't keep someone from stealing your car, hacking into your bank account, or make the neighbors suddenly get along with you better. It doesn't necessarily create physical changes. It creates spiritual and energetic changes which will translate into changes on the physical level though. These changes on the physical level will translate into a better sense of peace, well-being, and a feeling of more self-control for you. That will motivate you to be more assertive, learn to pick your battles instead of engaging with every argument you're invited to, and help you to understand what's important as opposed to trying to control other people who get on your nerves.
Magical protection shields you from negativity getting in. The negativity will still be happening around you and it might still upset you, but you will be more peaceful and less likely to participate in toxic drama. There are always going to be people who want to get a reaction from you, try and control your emotions, or try to dominate you. Magical protection won't change that. It will just help you to be immune to their behaviors. Your job might be the source of toxicity in your life but you don’t have to let it destroy you.

Creating Protection Charms
Some people focus on what type of crystals they have, what kind of colors they wear, and what the phases of the moon are when they are creating protection charms. However, as a beginner, it's going to take you a while to build knowledge of that. Anything can be a protection charm if you know how to put protective energy into it. A protective charm can be something that you keep on your keychain, hang on the rearview mirror of your car, or even carry in your wallet. It can be something large, small, expensive, or cheap. It can be made of a rare material or be something as common as a piece of loose leaf notebook paper.
What you need to keep in consideration is how durable the object that you are choosing as a protective charm is. A lot of people will choose things made of stone, wood, or metal for that very reason. Some people will also choose something that has a very inconspicuous appearance. So, instead of an image of a goddess or god, or a symbol of your faith, you can simply choose an ordinary gold chain as a protective charm. It really doesn't matter what you use. All that matters is if it's something practical, meaningful, and convenient.
There are a few different ways to put protective energy into talismans. You can take it into a sanctuary of worship and let it absorb the energy from there, or even ask your clergy people to pray over it. You can leave it in the light of the sun or the moon to bless it with the energy from those heavenly bodies. You can even bless it yourself by saying simple words over it such as, “Within you I place the energy of protection. When I carry you with me, nothing will be able to penetrate my spiritual body, twist my mind, or break my heart. So Be It.” You can also do all of the things to bless your protective charm threefold.

Magical Protection
So, what kind of spell work and magic can you use for protection? There are a few different types of this magic that you can use. You can learn to put up powerful psychic shields in a few different ways. You can also cast simple spells for protection. You can use simple practical magic on the more mundane level, too.
Psychic Shielding
Psychic shielding is your first line of defense. This is done using your personal energy and can require no physical materials. It just takes concentration, intent, and faith in yourself. Refusing to engage with toxic things that are going on will completely shut them out. You can build psychic shields, and even banish negativity.
Refusing to Engage
If somebody wants you to exchange angry words with them, and you don't, you're cutting the hostility off before it reaches you. One of the best ways to put out a fire is by cutting off the oxygen instead of throwing water on it. In the same way, if the fight, or negativity isn't embraced by you, it will be put out as simply as a fire. Read about Zodiac Fire Signs here: What are Fire Signs of the Zodiac?
Shield Building
Psychic shields start with visualization. What do you consider protective? You can visualize a suit of armor surrounding your psychic body. You can visualize a bubble of light surrounding you where no darkness can penetrate. You can also visualize angelic wings encircling you, protecting you from all negativity. Visualizing this psychic shield regularly helps you to actually build it. It just takes time.
Banishing
Banishing is sending negativity away from you. Some people will banish by cleansing . Allowing the light of the sun to come through the window and penetrate your rooms is one way to banish dark energy. Deep cleaning your home by discarding everything that elicits negative emotion and responses is another way. One easy way to banish is to simply say no.

Protection Spells
Spell work is a lot of fun and can help us focus our minds on the work at hand. Poppets can be used in protective spells as well as surrounding yourself with protective things and using talismans.
Poppets
A poppet as a doll or image. This can be used for curse work of course, but did you know that you can use them for protection? One easy way to do this is to take a photograph of yourself, put it in a beautiful frame, and surround it with protective things. Put it next to a picture of an ancestor who you especially loved. A symbol of your faith next to it. Put it on a tablecloth that has good energy on it, and. Put a little salt on the table to cleanse negativity before it reaches the image of you. This will bless you and help protect you.
Protective Surroundings
One way to protect yourself psychically is to surround yourself with things that are protective. When you have to go to visit a toxic relative, take an emotionally supportive friend with you. If you have to drive through a section of town that has negative memories for you, wear your favorite outfit,lLucky jewelry, and play your favorite music on the stereo.You can even plant your Zodiac sign’s personal flowers in your garden for protection.

Talismans
Talismans are things that we carry or wear that are charged with protective energy. You can use your charms that you bless for this, and symbols of your faith are excellent talismans. You can wear protective crystals like hematite or onyx to block out negativity also. Carrying pictures of your pets, loved ones, and ancestors who were protective will also act as talismans.
Practical Magic Protection
You don't have to just use spells to protect yourself on the psychic level. You can do things on the mundane level. Self-care is an excellent way to protect your psychic self. Gatekeeping or cutting things out that harm you is another way. Simply ignoring negativity can keep it out of your life better than you would expect.
Self-Care
Making sure that you eat right, sleep well, and take care of your physical health helps make sure that you are strong and can withstand any psychic attacks. When your health is not good, you are not well rested, and your physical needs are not met, it weakens you. So take care of yourself. Then you will be stronger in the face of psychic attack.Self-love is self-care. Read about it here: Practicing Self Love
Gatekeeping
Gatekeeping might be considered another form of banishing, but it is physically shutting things out instead of moving energy away. Deciding who you will and will not spend time with will help to keep psychic attacks away from you. Refusing to have lunch with your ex or the verbally abusive family member will keep you away from their psychic attacks. Avoiding the gossipy co-worker in the lunch area will keep you from listening to their negativity.
Ignoring Things
Never underestimate the value of ignoring people. Ignoring the person next to you in traffic that is gesturing obscenely and instead focusing on the road in front of you will help keep their negative energy away from you. Ignoring texts and telephone calls from your ex will keep you from getting upset about what they have to say. Ignoring the political ramblings of your cousin at the family gathering will keep you from getting upset about what they have to say.
Our physical bodies need to be protected, but so do our psychic selves. That's where magic comes in. You can use spells, protective charms, and mundane ways to do that. Things like ignoring people, or refusing to let them around you at all so that their negativity does not affect you helps. Magic is a very simple practice, but one that people all over the world use. So let your magic work for you and protect you today.
