The Protective Candle Curse is a unique combination of protection and curse, designed to shield oneself or a loved one from harm while reflecting negative energy back onto a target. This ritual surrounds the protected individual with a defensive barrier that curses anyone who attempts to cause harm.
Materials Needed:
- White candle (for protection)
- Black candle (to channel the curse energy)
- Mirror (to reflect negative energy back to the source)
- Black salt or sea salt (for boundary protection)
- Protective herbs (rosemary, sage, and garlic for warding off harm)
- A piece of parchment (for writing the target’s name)
- String or black thread (to symbolize binding)
- A personal item from the protected individual (optional)
Step-by-Step Ritual:
1. Preparation and Protection
- Find a quiet space where you can work without disturbance. Cleanse the area with sage or rosemary smoke to remove any residual energy and ensure the space is spiritually neutral.
- Place the white candle to your left and the black candle to your right. Set the mirror in front of both candles, angled to reflect their light outward.
2. Create a Protective Circle
- Use black salt or sea salt to create a circle around your ritual area. This salt boundary will serve as a protective barrier, ensuring any energy raised remains contained within the circle.
- Scatter the protective herbs around the candles and mirror to strengthen the ward.
3. Prepare the Parchment
- Write the name of the individual you want protection for on the piece of parchment. Beneath their name, write the name of any individual or situation that represents a potential threat or harm.
- Fold the parchment inward, visualizing a protective shield surrounding the person named.
4. Light the White Candle for Protection
- Light the white candle first, focusing on drawing in protective, positive energy around the person you intend to safeguard. Visualize a glowing white shield forming around them, impenetrable and unwavering.
- Say:
By this flame, I cast a light,
A shield of strength, pure and bright.
No harm shall pass, no ill shall find,
Protected heart, soul entwined.
5. Light the Black Candle for Reflection and Curse
- Light the black candle, channeling all harmful intent or potential curses back toward the target listed on the parchment.
- Imagine any negativity directed toward the protected individual being absorbed by the black candle and reflected back through the mirror, turning the energy back onto the source.
- Say:
Blackened flame, reflect the spite,
Send back harm with twice the might.
Who sends ill, let ill return,
May their own dark fires burn.
6. Binding with Thread
- Wrap the folded parchment with black thread, symbolizing the binding of any harmful energy. Tie three knots, each knot reinforcing the protective curse’s strength.
- With each knot, say:
By knot of one, protection begun.
By knot of two, all harm undo.
By knot of three, their ill to thee.
7. Placing the Mirror for Reflection
- Position the mirror so it reflects the black candle’s flame directly toward the parchment. This will ensure that any negative energy continues to be redirected back at its source, strengthening the curse’s power.
- Take a moment to visualize the mirror acting as a powerful shield and reflector, sending any harmful intentions back toward their origin.
8. Seal the Ritual
- Allow both candles to burn down naturally. Once the candles are fully burned, gather any remaining wax, the wrapped parchment, and herbs used during the ritual.
- Bury the materials near the protected individual’s home or workspace for continued protection, or place them in a hidden area where they won’t be disturbed.
9. Ending the Ritual
- Break the salt circle, symbolizing the completion of the ritual. Scatter the remaining salt outside your home as a final protective gesture.
- Wash your hands with cool water to release any residual energy from the ritual.
Important Notes:
- Mirror Positioning: Be mindful of the mirror’s angle throughout the ritual. Ensure it faces outward or toward a location where you can reflect any harmful energy safely away from yourself.
- Reinforcement: If the protective curse needs reinforcement, consider redoing the ritual during significant lunar phases, like the full moon for extra protection or the waning moon to diminish any lingering threats.
This Protective Candle Curse ritual is a powerful tool that combines the defensive power of protection with the reflective force of a curse. By setting up a mirror barrier, the ritual ensures that any negativity is sent back to its source, effectively shielding the intended individual while cursing the originator of the harm.
