Let me tell you something, and I mean this from years of working in the Craft and dealing with people from all over the place; not everything that goes wrong in your life is a psychic attack, and not every bad moment is black magic, but at the same time, don’t fool yourself into thinking it doesn’t exist either, because it does, and if you are not protecting yourself, you are leaving the door open.
Now before your mind starts running wild thinking someone is sitting somewhere lighting candles against you, slow down for a second and listen to me, because fear is exactly what feeds this kind of thing. Fear weakens you, it clouds your thinking, and it makes you easier to influence. That is where the real problem begins.
First things first; energy follows intention.
If someone is sending negative intent your way, whether they are doing it on purpose through spell work or just projecting jealousy, anger, or obsession, it still has to find a way into your life. It doesn’t just crash through the front door unless something inside you is already out of balance.
And let’s be real here; most people are carrying something.
Old wounds, unresolved emotions, anger, guilt, the need to control outcomes, desperation for love, all of that creates openings. I have seen it over and over again, and I am going to say this as plainly as I can…
YOU CANNOT BE A MESS ON THE INSIDE AND EXPECT TO BE PROTECTED ON THE OUTSIDE!
So let me walk you through this in a way that actually makes sense and that you can use.
1. Clean Your Space, Really Clean It
And no, I am not just talking about picking things up and making it look nice.
Your space holds energy; your home, your bedroom, even the things you touch every day. If you are living in clutter, tension, arguments, and emotional chaos, you are basically inviting negative energy to settle in.
Start with a cleansing.
Use sage, incense, Florida water, whatever feels right to you, but don’t just go through the motions. Be present with it. Mean what you are doing.
Say it out loud:
“Anything not of light, anything not aligned with my highest good, you are not welcome here.”
And actually feel that when you say it.
2. Strengthen Your Aura
Your aura is your shield; if it is weak, things get through.
So how do you build it up?
- Ground yourself every day
- Get outside, even if it is just for a little while
- Take salt baths, and I mean real salt, not a pinch
- Visualize yourself surrounded by light
And here is something simple that works if you actually stick with it. Every morning, before you even grab your phone, say:
“I am protected. I am grounded. I am untouchable by negative intent.”
Do it consistently, and you will start to feel the difference.
3. Stop Letting Everyone Into Your Energy
This is where a lot of people get themselves into trouble.
You share everything; your relationships, your plans, your struggles, and then you wonder why things start to shift in a bad way.
Not everyone cheering you on actually wants to see you win.
Not everyone smiling at you has good intentions.
SAFE GUARD YOUR MAGIC BY KEEPING IT TO YOURSELF!
Seriously, learn to move in silence sometimes.
4. Know the Signs, But Don’t Obsess
People always want to know how to tell if something is going on.
You might notice things like:
- Feeling drained for no clear reason
- Thoughts that don’t feel like they belong to you
- Bad luck that seems to come in waves
- Feeling off after thinking about a certain person
But listen to me here…
DO NOT LET YOUR MIND RUN AWAY WITH THIS!
Because once you slip into paranoia, you will do more damage to yourself than anything external ever could. I have seen it happen, and it is not pretty.
Stay aware, but stay grounded.
5. Handle It Without Making It Worse
I know people like the idea of fighting back, and I understand that, I really do; I am not someone who is unfamiliar with the darker side of the Craft, and I will protect myself and my clients when necessary.
But going in blindly and trying to “attack back” can create more problems than it solves.
Instead, keep it simple and controlled:
“Any negative energy sent to me is returned to its source, cleansed and purified.”
You are not escalating anything, you are just refusing to carry what is not yours.
6. Make Protection a Habit
This is not a one and done situation.
You don’t protect yourself once and call it a day. This is something you live.
- Stay grounded
- Keep your mind clear
- Watch your emotional state
- Avoid falling into desperation or obsession
Because desperation attracts exactly what you don’t want.
Let Me Be Straight With You
Most people are not under attack.
They are out of alignment.
They are overwhelmed, emotionally all over the place, spiritually disconnected, and instead of addressing that, they look for something outside of themselves to blame.
Now yes, black magic is real.
Yes, people can send negative energy your way.
But the real question is this…
Are you making it easy for that energy to affect you?
If the answer is yes, then that is where your focus needs to be.
I have worked with people who were genuinely dealing with outside interference, and I have worked with people who were creating their own problems without realizing it, and I will tell you right now, the ones who refuse to look within suffer the most.
So do the work.
Protect your energy.
Stand in your power.
And stop handing your power over so easily.
I am going to close for now, but I hope this gives you something real to think about and something you can actually use.

Blessed Be, Phelan
