#Sigil definition how to#

Warding a space is one of the first things a new witch should learn how to do.

Since I primarily use energetic wards, I pull energy from the sun and visualize that energy recharging the wards I use for my space and person. Personally, I recharge my wards whenever the sun is out.

Some re-charge the wards every full moon, every week, every other week, or every day. Most practitioners recommend recharging the ward when you feel it’s necessary. Wards, like all energy, will fade or lose power over time, especially if negative entities/energies have been actively working against it. If you are working with benevolent spirits, demons, or deities, filtering will be your best option in order to continue allowing them, but not negative energy, into your space. If you are looking for a basic ward, circumventing will actively divert negativity from your space/person. If you are actively experiencing negative energy in the home and cleansing does not seem to be helping, you can trap the negative energy/entity with a trapping ward then banish it. Circumventing is diverting negative entities, and filtering includes allowing positive energy in while keeping negative energy out. Trapping includes trapping negative entities. There are three methods of warding – trapping, circumventing, and filtering. If you ward before cleansing, it’s setting up a magickal wall, and you could accidentally trap a negative entity or energy inside the ward. Please note that the spells included are particular to me, and that warding varies from practitioner to practitioner.īefore setting up a ward, it’s important to cleanse the space or person in order to rid the space or person of any negative energies. For this purpose, we are going to discuss the foundations of warding split into two categories: warding the home and warding the person. Warding is a broad term used to describe “ any form of magick intending to protect a person/place/thing from negative or parasitic energies/entities.” Warding is such a broad category, including everything from creating a guardian or charm to protect the home to wearing enchanted jewelry or clothes to keep a person safe. One of these includes learning how to protect yourself, otherwise known as warding.

Before you practice any level of intermediate or advanced witchcraft, you have to learn the basics.
