Five Protection Crystals for Spirit Work
• Black Tourmaline: Black tourmaline is a top protective stone. It allows the user to block negative energy. You can wear black tourmaline jewelry or carry some in a pocket. It gives you an extra protective energy shield around you.
• Black Obsidian: This is a stone known for its protection against evil spirits. Obsidian also aids in healing practices and rituals. Find out more about all the uses of black obsidian when you stop by and see us at Hearthside.
• Selenite: Selenite is known for its cleansing and purifying abilities. It not only helps keep your energy cleared but even the space around you. It can be used to cleanse the other crystals you take with you to Seven Sisters Road as well.
• Lapis Lazuli: Lapis lets us tap more into our inner wisdom and intuition. This is vital to remaining safe from people and entities that mean us harm. It helps us combat the terror from the unknown, leaving us free to know our best steps to remain safe.
• Pyrite: Pyrite is the jack of all trades of stones. Most only see it as an aid for attracting abundance into their lives. But pyrite is a stone associated with the sun. The sun in pyrite chases away the dark and shields us with strength.
Candle Protection from Spirits
Before heading out on your ghost hunt, let us at Hearthside Candles & Curios help you strengthen your shields!
Traditionally, the best candles to burn to infuse your shields with higher levels of protection against spirits are black and indigo candles.
Black Candles
• Black candles have historically been used at Halloween and Samhain to aid in communication with spirits and to honor loved ones that have passed to the other realm. Even during the Middle Ages when many things became a subject for witch hunts, black candles were used for protection against evil.
• Candle magic rituals use black candles for protection and banishment.
• Black candles disperse dark shadows and leave us open to higher frequencies.
Indigo Candles
• Indigo candles are associated with the third eye chakra.
• Indigo candles heighten our intuition and wisdom.
• When used with a black candle, we strengthen both our internal shields built from our spiritual selves and our external shields.
