What you'll need
A small dish of salt, a black or white candle, black tourmaline or obsidian if you have it (see the Herbs & Crystals library for substitutes).

Words to speak
“This door opens for those who mean well, and stays closed to what doesn't. What crosses this threshold with ill intent finds it isn't welcome here.”
Say them as written, or put them in your own words — sincerity matters more than exact phrasing.
How to do it
Light the candle near your main entrance. Draw a thin line of salt across the inside of the threshold (sweep it up after a day or two — it's a symbolic gesture, not a permanent fixture). If you have a protective stone, keep it near the door or in an entryway drawer. Repeat monthly, or whenever the space feels like it needs it.
Safety
- Never leave a candle or flame unattended. Burn paper only in a fireproof dish, away from curtains, pets and children.
- Salt can harm plants, soil, pets and some floors — keep it in a dish or sweep it up promptly.
- Spells support real-world action; they don't replace medical, legal, financial or safety help.
