At times we all need some extra protection from the stresses and strains of life, as well as the energies we connect to when we practice magic. Because magic deals with energies that aren’t always easy to control or predictable, it can become necessary to use a protection spell if you are feeling negative effects from any magical workings. Also, we sometimes encounter toxic people or situations in our lives, so having some protection spells to hand can be very helpful. Whether this is a matter of shielding from other people so we don’t take their negative emotions on or being able to maintain strong emotional and magical boundaries – protection spells will help. Depending on what kind of spells and energies you are working with, you might sometimes encounter spirits, energies or entities that you don’t feel are friendly, or you feel you should have some extra protection from. In these cases, a good protection spell can be extremely useful.
