Ingredients & Tools

• Tarot Cards: The Strength, The Star, and The High Priestess

• Herbs: Dried rosemary (for protection), bay leaves (for warding), and lavender (for peace)

• Candle: 1 white candle (purity and light)

• Astrological Timing: Perform under a waxing Moon in Cancer or Scorpio (for emotional fortification and psychic protection)

• Other: A fireproof dish or cauldron, small satchel or pouch (optional)

Prepare Your Sacred Space

Cleanse the area with smoke from burning rosemary or lavender. As the smoke curls around, say:

“By flame and herb, I cleanse this space,
No ill intent shall leave a trace.”

Lay out your tarot cards in a triangle:

• Strength at the top (inner resilience)

• The Star to the left (divine guidance and hope)

• The High Priestess to the right (intuition and hidden knowledge)

Create the Herbal Charm

In a bowl, mix:

• 1 tsp rosemary

• 2 crushed bay leaves

• A pinch of lavender

Hold your hands over the herbs and chant:

“Guardians of root and leaf,
Bind this charm in strong belief.
Shield and ward, protect and keep,
While I wake and while I sleep.”

If you’d like, place the herbs in a small pouch to carry with you or hang near your door.

3. Invoke Celestial Power

Light the white candle. As it burns, say:

“By the moon in [Cancer/Scorpio], rising high,
By stars above in velvet sky,
I call protection to this ground,
Let no harm or ill abound.”

Look at the tarot cards. Visualize their energy forming a glowing triangular shield around you.

• Strength offers courage and endurance

• The Star brings peace and renewal

• The High Priestess guards the unseen with sacred wisdom

4. Seal the Spell

Burn a small bay leaf in the fireproof dish and whisper your final intent:

“As this leaf turns into flame,
Let no shadow know my name.
My space is sealed, my soul is light,
I am safe by day and night.”

Let the candle burn out safely, or snuff it if needed. Carry the pouch or bury the ashes from the herbs at your threshold.
