When you do a spell for a protection dome around your home, It is made to keep all evil out?
I understand it is suposed to keep your home and family protected. Just wanted to know and needed some information

If you want protection around your home, a dome will only keep half of it out. I recommend a sphere.

I do not know, but I will tell you my own experience.

Maybe a month ago, I was dwelling on a certain thing in my past, an event that still scares me to this day.

The more I thought of it, the more it scared me and I could feel certain presences in my home.

I grounded and centered myself, and visualized all my doors and windows being locked up so that no force could penetrate it.

Slowly, my fear and anxiety passed and I have been fine since.

Now that's interesting. Would anyone who practices magic call that a spell ?

Or would you class it as some kind of possitive thinking....or are they even one and the same thing ?

The Book of Tobit describes how to cleanse the area of demons...

Carvall

You know...I have no idea?

Maybe it depends on how you view it?

It could be considered a spell? Maybe i am a witch and don't know it? :P

I however see it, as using the universal energy around me, and using it through me. In other words, I am projecting the universe's energy.

Bah, I am bad at explaining. I have only recently found that I am a natural at doing it.

Here are some links to protection spells for your house:

Home Protection Spell


They're all variations on a theme so pick something that works for you.

You can construct protection spheres around your home using ritual means or energy means. Can't help you with the ritual stuff but I can with the energy stuff. If you want message me I have to go to work right now but will get back to you.

JeanneDArc

Yes I thought the same thing...was hoping someone who was into magic could give us an opinion....we will wait and see lol

I still think it is in the eyes of the beholder.

If someone thinks it to be a spell, then it will be a spell.

If you believe it to be energy you are using, then it is energy.

I have tried to stay away from magic ever since the karma repaid me a visit. lol

first of i am a wiccan elder people i like this discussion, second of all, a spell consists of using certain items, just because you close your eyes and things went away doesnt mean it was a spell, trust me i know i have cast many spells in my lifetime protection spells need certain items to be fully effective

it will keep out but also keep in, so as some have mention make sure to cleanse before placing the protection

I disagree. I have been practising chaos magick for many years now, and do not feel the need for material objects in most spells.

Sometimes material objects can help a spellcaster to focus on what the outcome of any given spell is. But if you have the willpower and belief in your abilities then in my opinion anything is achievable.



To answer the question put to us all, i believe that fear gave her the willpower needed to perform such an act. However, you must always ensure that you have cleansed an area properly before casting any kind of protection. Otherwise you may well be sealing a malicious entity/spirit within your protective dome/sphere. This will annoy the entity/spirit and the reprocussions of such an act can be very dangerous.

Please be aware that there is no such thing as a perfect protection. All protections have their weaknesses, and if someone is casting against you and they realise that you have cast a protection, they will then be able to cast random spells until they find the weakness and penetrate the protection.

I hope this helps.

I have never heard of a protection dome before, i have heard of protection spells where a person encircles their home in a ball of good energy, but if something is meant to happen it is go to happen no matter what spells you place on your home...

I agree with some of the above. A sphere would be much more protective if you're going to do it. I would recommend cleansing your home before you do so, though. better safe than sorry.

A magick circle is used to keep things in or out. Cleansing is best before forming the circle. It is three dimensional and is actually a sphere. E, S, W, N, Up, Down, and center make the circle.

Like with any magic, it is your belief in it that gives it its strength. If you protect the home and the family, it really should not matter whether half dome or sphere.

I will agree that no protection is perfect they all have a weakness,nothing no spell is full proof

Evil is a relative term. I tend to think that there is no Good and Evil, only Us and Them. But then one might more accurately say they are protecting against "Harm" instead of "Evil."

It is in fact possible to create the same sort fo bubble shield to protect agains tanything specific, or more genreal. Just be sure of your intent when you cast. I generally use the bubble for more of a shadow, obscuring, or cloaking device myself.

First of I had grounded and centered myself, then visualized a bright, white light forcing everything negative (including my own), until it had reached my doors and windows. I had pushed the negative out. Then I imagined locking the doors and windows with impenetrable locks and barriers, and that the negative energy was behind it, outside.

Then I cut off the flow of energy through me, but remained grounded for awhile until I felt safe do become ungrounded.

It lasted about a week before I felt like that again. And redid the whole process. I haven't felt any negative energy like that since.

It is possible to make a bigger protection "bubble". I have never tried it though.

Everyone has their own way of doing and seeing things. If you feel more comfortable doing it a certain way, then do it that way.

I think if you firmly believe that what you are doing will work, then it will. :)

I never use objects or anything when i practice and i have practiced for a long time . i did not do a cleansing first though maybe i should do a cleansing

i believe it is caklled a protection sphere that goes all around your house, and i do not think that they really work that good i mean if something bad wants in a protection spell is not going to stop them.

spheres are good, but if you can use the earth itself to wrap around your your house with its energy, that way there is no way for anything to get through unless of course it was an elemental of earth...

madvampgoddess.

I agree with some of what you have said, however I have to disagree on the point that protections do not work.

Protections and wards do work well. It's about how strong the protection is and where the weakness is. If you can cast a protection and find the weakness, you can cast another and bind it to the first to protect the weakness.

That said, however, I must admit that even though I have an array of protections placed both on my home, myself, my children and my fiancee; that doesn't always stop things from getting in.

You see, if you cast one protection and it's weakness is spirits, then any spirit can get in. If you cast another one that's strong against spirits, then it also has a weakness.

I have also found that some spirts/entities can be very resourceful when trying to get through a protection. Taking one form and then another until they get through.

Infernal

Hey there again buddy. I have to agree with what you say about the earth energies. However, as you stated there are a number of things that could get through.

The Earth itself can get through, any number of elementals can get through (water, earth, air, fire) as they can travel through the earth and in essence through its energies to get to you.

I do wonder, however, if a combination protection that covers the various elementals that I know of would work better.

eg: Call upon the elements of earth, air, fire, water, light, shadow, darkness and spirit to create a protection that would fend off.

Do you think that, with such a protection in place, an elemental being would be able to get through.

I feel a little test coming on here. I will let you know what happens.

Mener

Hey mener,

Yes I would say that such an elemental could get through. As they are still made up of the things the sheilding is made up of, they would be able to pass through even the slightest presence of the element.

You would have to negate the ability for things to pass through by making it like glass, something energetically solid and unified, but then something solid and unified and also made out of source materia would be able to blow a hole through it.

Granted it would be difficult to achieve both states, with such shielding, It just goes to further back up, there is no flawless protection but a good offense usually works better then just a protective bubble....like a protective bubble of source energy which eats and abosorbs incoming current however you run the risk of spiritual vaccums and its harder to generate power in vacuume.

Well, I think what JeanneDArc did was obviously right for her. She was able to rid herself of the menace, reduce her fears and feel secure in the end.

And I think what she's actually asking is what type of magic, if any, would that be called or fall under. Am I right?

I'm not certain it was really magic at all, but that she used her own energies to come against some negative force that might have invaded her home due to some negative memories.

I would use a dome but domes only cover and protect partically but try a cleansing and a blessing from a priest, Or holy water

I suppose I did use Elements. I used Light and water, if I really think about it. i envisioned the light, and when I grounded myself i envisioned water, coming up through my roots and into me, then through me.

Though the more I think of my fear, then the less my protection will work. I can actually do the bubble around me too, when i have to go out. It's more like forcing the negative away.

Personally to me it is not a spell. I'm not using any objects or incantations. Just energy.

I personally do not think that blessing homes is a good think to do, because if their is something in your house all you will probably do is irritate it or make it more mad than it already is...

And I have heard that too. Doesn't always work.

If there are spirits in your house, they will either move on of their own free will, or they aren't going to go anywhere, they cannot be forced nor kept out by anything we do, I think either you need to wait until they leave or leave yourself

it is possible to protect your home..and there are many ways of doing this.. personally i perfer to fill my house with possitive energy

I do simple protection, I also meditate the white light of a Higher power embracing my loved ones. I put seasalt in front of my doors. I add a mirror outside to reflect negativity from entering. I have also planted 4 crystals on each point of my home to add balance. I think whatever works in a positive way for one, and it is done with the intention of the most positive, without harming none.

Only physical items I've used is to sprinkle sea salt around and of course burning sage. Like others, I visualize in my mind a sphere/bubble, call it like you will to surround where I live, and other places.. for some, visualization is what it is important and works for them, and others, ritual or items....both have their places.. but sometimes visualization is what works.

I agree you should cleanse before casting a protection spell.

I've done a house cleaning sell before..Is there any spells that are used to create a protection dome?

I do not know any spells myself about the protection dome or sphere for your home. Sorry i cannot help, but it seems that there are others here that have done it.

JeanneDArc,

Hey girl............ Just wanted to let you know that what you did, to some at least is called and considered.... 'Instant Magick'.

As for the the purpose of this thread.. I have to agree with alot of what was said already.
But I have a few things to add. Protection spells, should always be.... redone every so often. I have heard that depending on what you are trying to protect from, should be done every week to month to year.

Also, for anytime that you open doors to leave or enter, it is best to reward it, just a push of energy with the purpose of maintaining protection of the space.

I myself do energy work. I dont really work with spells. And try to remember to make the protection hold out only harmful energies.... You dont really want to prevent positive energy from entering.............. Or do you???

My house is smudged by a cree pipe carrier. It does not keep everything out.

I personally find that a clean house (one that is well maintained) has better protections... just in the ritual of the cleaning. In the Real estate business I believe they call it pride of ownership.

I do not always make spheres... If you know the direction from which your attack is coming ... a shield works just fine... That is what you are looking for?

I find it silly to think in 3 dimensions anyway when you are talking about the metaphysical. Who cares if you draw a sphere or a square or a dome... it is how you solidify the thought image into an active force that is important... if you see a dome, or a shield or a sphere... whatever.

It could be something that you reinforce with daily unconcious thought... any daily ritual like washing your hair or brushing, your teeth, peeing... whatever can reinforce it; magic is about reinforcing thought and the physical follows those perceptions.

I agree as well with most on this thread, but I am going to be midevil for a moment. Excuse the blunt rudeness...

Names such as elder do not make you a professional mage, nor does it give you the right to correct others abilities. Objects or no, incantations vary from user to user. As all "spells" are from said individual, said individual may cast the way they deem fit. Objects are pure and simple a focus point. Things to focus on while conjuring what you wish to.

Back to the subject on hand...Domes and spheres are another "object" category to create an image in the mind for a better outcome. Even though they do exist, which ever shape you prefer, so be it.

Protections spells may be easily broken, but they do last for quite a long while. As there are plenty of links already posted, I will not bother, but please, I beg you...Do not judge others abilities on how they cast.

Magik is there for a reason, and not to be critisized. Nor the caster of such spells. Only the close minded critique instead of helping out.

Protection spells can work and not work ....depending on your strenth...if your innocent(not sexual more like you havent used your majic for bad..) then you speels tend to be stronger...also if everyone within the home you are trying to protect know and belive inyour majic then it is stonger

I use a sort of "anchor" when casting mine. I have a large pile of stone (earth) in my back yard. My visualization for casting the energy is like a radiation pattern similar to a ground plane antenna; or simpler, like a bunt cake pan, although over and under. The stones act as a focal point, the energy comes from within the earth up around it, creating a dead space right above it like the eye of a hurricane.

Over complicated, I know. But it works for me :)

I do not follow this practice. With JA's response it does sound like positive thinking to calm your nerves. Is this what most protection spells are like?

I thihk that they are used to protect your home and all that is in it. I unfourtunally do not know how to have one...otherwise I would.

Protection spells of any kind for me are a sort of visualization exercise. I always begin with cleansing, either visually or with sage smudging or salt. Then I visualize myself being "filled up" with positive energy and surrounded by a sphere of positive energy as well. I can extend this sphere to include my home or surroundings. There is also a layering practice I've used, sort of like placing mirrors in my sphere to reflect any negative energy back to it's source.

Yes, mirrors are very seful in these types of spells. Salt is also very effective, particulary sea salt.

I have heard of protection domes and things like that, but I think if something wanted to get at you bad enough, then it wouldn't have a problem getting at you, but that is just me...I have never tried any of these spells, but I guess that might just be why I am skeptical.

*sigh* just because you don't call something a spell doesn't mean it isn't. Just because your spells use physical components (often either as foci or as offerings in exchange for that protection) doesn't mean someone else's do, or that yours always have to or will...

All a spell is is a ritual focused to obtain a specific result, whether it be protection or relief from pain or to bring something into your life. Some people make offerings, some people light candles, some people get on their knees and fold their hands, some people ask an elemental, some ask Jesus, some ask the Goddess, some just visualize the Universe giving whatever they need to them, some people just concentrate for a moment, some chant a song or rhyme. They're all forms of ritual, just with more or fewer and more or less physical prods to make their subconscious connect.

For myself, I find that the amount of help I need focusing tends to vary, even after actively practicing spellcraft for half my life. And sometimes it just depends on how bad I need it and how much time I can afford to spend focusing.

As far as protection spells, I tend to go for a multidiscilplinary approach, involving physical objects both inside the shields and near the surface, multiple layers of shields pushed out so there's no space between them to shift energy types, meditations, smudging with sage or incense, salt, water, regular offerings of thanks to the universe, regular feedings of energy to strengthen the shields.... That's what works for me; your path may use somethign different, maybe tobacco and Florida water, maybe nothing physical.

I would think the first thing to do would be drive whatever it is that is bothering you away, then cast a spell of protection. Otherwise you risk locking the thing in with you. Not good.

As to spells, it depends on what it is you are protecting yourself from, but there are many general protection spells available here, and in other locations. Blessed Be.

Evil comes from both above and below. You need a sphere for full protection.

i dont know...my mom and my friend put the protections on the house...

Depending on how strong the protection..


that's what makes the differences on

when the protection can be broken
and what can penetrate it and such..
it's all relative

Whether its your House or other property, shielding is done in layers.
Also making it fluid, so you can leave and enter your area with out tearing it down. Any protection is as strong as your abilities are or as weak as you are.
As Above So Below in Casting, ....Do I have to remind you of cleansing your area?

my wards are keys to keep out any energy that intends harm. Evil is kinda subjective so I keyed them far more to keep out anything meaning harm to me or anyone within the walls.

if you put protection around should it not be a completed protection for above and below, sorry I do not know alot about this yet would like to uinderstand it
