Spell of Protection from Hurricanes

Growing up in Southern Louisiana, hurricanes were just a part of life: leaving the house at a moments notice with only the nearest & dearest things. Mom had photographs in one suitcase, clothes in another, my favorite books & Barbies, Rainbow Brite & Strawberry Shortcake in my arms.

In 2018, I created this spell to protect our home in North Carolina as I left with my husband, kids, dog, & chinchilla – SUV loaded to the gills with our treasured items.

Since we’re in early hurricane season, I thought I’d share to get ahead of the storms. Share, do it for others, whatever you need.

Needed

• Cup or small cauldron
• Boiling water
• Athame or spoon
• Candles~
  • White: peace and reflecting energy to the other candles (also universal)
  • Black: protection
  • Blue: to ask the water elements for peace
  • Yellow: to persuade the air elements for peace (air usually does more damage than water)
• Herbs
  • Cinnamon (stick or ground): success, action, protection, energy
  • Rosemary: protection and wisdom
  • Sage: purification and protection, wisdom, and health
  • Salt: to make spell water salty to represent sea water (approx. 1 tsp salt per cup of water)

Paces

• If your path calls to do so, open your circle.
• Arrange candles
  • White in center with others in a triangle formation around it.
  • Black in front; yellow to back left; blue to back right.
• Light your candles
  • White first, then others in clockwise order, beginning with black.
• While lighting say, “Guardians of the elements, please assist us in protecting those in Hurricane {Name}’s path.”
  • For seasonal, just use “protecting our land and homes from hurricanes this season”.
• Place cauldron or cup near candles.
• Add herbs (fresh, cut, dried, powdered, whatever you have) to cup or cauldron
• Pour boiling water over herbs and stir in clockwise motion while reading the request above again.
• Stir and repeat as long as you wish, or occasionally, until candles burn out.
  • Alternatively, do so until water cools, extinguish candle by pinching or snuffer, and repeat every 12-24 hours until candles burn out.
  • Herbal water can be recreated or microwaved when repeating, if necessary.
• If you opened a circle, close it after the spell is completed.
