Protective Herbs

Herbs to ward off negative influences:

Cinnamon - is very known for warding off negative spirits. And to be honest they hate strong scented oils and insences. I know it can be purchased whole or crushed, but because I use it as insence so I prefer the ordinary "food spice" bark whole.

Peppermint - Gives you extra energy, henceforth preventing from negative spirits being attracted to you.

Pine Needle- Is well known in my country for warding off fae and other kinds of spirits since ancient times. I don't know why they can't stand it, but is by far the most effective. You can choose to fetch pine branches from the forest and use them as insence or put them in your fireplace to cleanse your whole home. Or you can add pine needle oil to the "entrances" which applys to mirrors, doors, windows and doorsteps.

Birch - Is also in  my country known for it's protective capabilities. Similar methods to pine, though i'm not certain if it is possible to get a hold of Birch oil. Gather some birch branches or bark, dry them and then use it as insence.

Lavender - Eases the mind and calms the body, if you have it dried or as oil. But what many does not know is that Lavender attracts fairies to your home. These can easily become your helpers to prevent harm to you and your family members if you treat them well.


But do remember that those who are allergic might not be able to handle the scent of lavender and Peppermint.
