Why Your Protection Spells Aren’t Working (and What to Do Instead)

You saged the corners, whispered your incantations, maybe even sealed your spell with salt... so why do you still feel energetically exposed?

Here's the truth: protection spells *aren’t* one-size-fits-all. And they won’t stick if you’re skipping the foundational steps. If you’ve been feeling drained, anxious, or like your energy is constantly getting hijacked—this post is for you.

Let’s break down 3 common reasons protection magic can feel like it’s falling flat—and what to do instead.

1. You’re Protecting on Auto-Pilot

If you’re copying a Pinterest ritual with no intention behind it, your magic’s going to feel… well, like a copy-paste spell. Protection work is deeply personal. Your energy knows the difference between "just in case" magic and magic made with meaning.

Instead: Take 30 seconds to name what you’re protecting. Is it your peace? Your boundaries? Your child? Your home? Call it into the ritual clearly. Speak it out loud. Magic listens when it knows it’s being spoken to.

2. You’re Skipping the Energetic Hygiene

Would you lock your front door but leave all the windows open? That’s what it’s like to do a protection spell without cleansing your energy first. You’re sealing in the very thing you’re trying to block out.

Instead: Cleanse your energy first—through smoke, salt, sound, or water—before layering on any spellwork. Start clean, seal clear.

3. You’re Not Grounded Enough

Protection isn’t just about building a wall—it’s about anchoring your roots. When you're not grounded, even the strongest protection spell can waver in a storm.

Instead: Connect with your body and the earth before casting. Stand barefoot, breathe deep, feel your energy drop into your belly or hips. Let the spell rise from your roots, not just your head.
