here is how to make a simple protective doormat charm. This may be a good beginner ritual to help keep your home safe and invite good energy.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A doormat. Pick one you like. It can be plain, patterned, or homemade. Natural fibers like coir are best, but any sturdy mat will do.
- Paint. Use acrylic or fabric paint. Choose colors that feel protective to you, like black, white, or gold.
- Protective oil. Try rosemary, frankincense, or lavender essential oil. If you’re sensitive to scents, mix the oil with olive or jojoba oil, or use a gentle spray.
- Salt and rosemary. Mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt with 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. If you don’t have rosemary, use sage, thyme, or dried gorse flowers.
Now, let’s get started. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Cleanse your items. You can wave them through incense smoke, sprinkle them with moon water, or just hold them and imagine white light around them.
Step 2: Turn your doormat over. On the back, paint or draw a symbol that means protection to you. Some ideas: a pentacle, an eye, or a rune like Algiz. You can also write a short chant or affirmation. If your mat is on cement, use chalk to draw your symbol on the ground under the mat.
Step 3: Put a few drops of your chosen oil on your fingers or a cloth. Dab the oil on the four corners and the center of the mat. As you do this, picture a golden shield around your door, keeping out bad energy.
Step 4: Sprinkle your salt and rosemary mix along the front edge of your doorway. This makes a magical barrier. If you have pets or kids, use just a little, or put the mix in a small bag and place it by the door.
Step 5: Stand in front of your door. Take a deep breath. Say this out loud:
“All those who I love and cherish shall enter freely and happily without harm. All those who I hate and fear shall be sent away and forbidden to enter and will not bring any harm inside.”
That’s it! Your home is now protected. You can redo this spell whenever you clean your mat or want extra protection. Trust yourself and change any step to fit your needs. Blessed be.
