Protection is where all Practitioners start off in their journey with witchcraft. After studying about witchcraft and its core basics a witch's first step before creating or casting any mysticism or magick is to begin her protection and put them in place.

There are many methods on protection and various harmful sources and concerns to shield from. Protection ranges from casting a circle, to wearing an amulet or keeping an herb in your pocket. There are a wide variety of harmful things to watch out for and in this lesson you will learn the different methods, tools, and what can be harming you. 

There are a plethora of activities, sounds, smells, herbs, colors, etc. all that can help you be protected when casting or making any sort of protection. 

always protect yourself in your activities. Protection not only protects you but also helps you stay in that grounding mindset. It's great to do for spells to not be hindered, increases chances of them working due to that, and helps protect you from, for example, the bad effects you might gain if you casted a curse without protection. Divination needs lots of protection; since you are contacting things you cannot see at first, or cannot invite them for a coffee and have a relaxing time, you need to protect yourself to be sure you won't be harmed incase the entity is a poser for an ancestor or deity, wishing to manipulate you. Always cleanse your divination tools! Before and after!

Whatever you do, protection is very personal to each person.

Visualized protection is a very strong way of protecting, You need to meditate occasionally so that you are connected to yourself, and trust yourself with your own protection. The stronger and more confident your intent, the stronger the protection! Herbs are not as hard to find as you may think and offer a great source of protection. If you are afraid to have a ton of herbs due to being in the broom closet, visualization will be your best choice.

You can spread out herbs around your home, or crystals. Protection is all about intent and using the associated ingredients and items that support and create protection.
