Take a moment to ground yourself. If you’re in a public space, simply pause and take a few deep breaths to centre your thoughts. You can do this standing or sitting, whatever feels comfortable.

2. Visualize the light

Close your eyes briefly if you can, or simply lower your gaze. Imagine a warm, bright light surrounding you, forming a protective barrier. Picture this light as a shield that keeps negativity at bay.

3. Speak the charm

With intention, say the following words aloud (or quietly if you’re in a public setting):

“By the light that surrounds me, I am safe and free.
With love as my armour, no harm shall come to me.”

4. Feel the energy

As you recite the charm, feel the protective energy of the light growing stronger. Allow yourself to embrace the sense of safety and peace it brings.

5. Carry the protection

When you finish, take a deep breath and carry that feeling of protection with you as you go about your day. Trust in the shield you’ve created.

This spell is designed to be quick and effective, perfect for those moments when you need a little extra protection on the go!

A longer spoken protection charm for when you have more time:

By the light that surrounds me, I am safe and free,
With love as my armor, no harm shall come to me.
In shadows that linger, I stand strong and bright,
Protected and guided, I embrace the light.

Negative forces, you cannot draw near,
With this shield of protection, I cast out all fear.
As I walk through this world, I carry my grace,
In the warmth of this light, I find my safe space.”
