Protection Door Hanger

Merry meet.

I was inspired to make protection door hangers by first fashioning twigs and vines into small wreaths that would fit over a doorknob.

Then I collected up as many small objects as I could find that had protective powers, including bells, pentacles, tiny jars of salt, hag stones, sweet gum tree seed pods, tarot card charms, goddesses, crystals (black tourmaline, black obsidian, clear quartz, amethyst), evil eyes, rune symbols, dried herbs, and spirals.

I attached these to the bottom of each wreath with embroidery floss, ribbon, twine, or string.

 

Other objects that offer protection include angel wings, the Hand of Fatima, the triquetra, dreamcatchers, Brigid’s Cross, Hecate’s Wheel, an athame or sword, the Triple Goddess, dragons, the ankh, the Eye of Horus, pyrite, and solar cross. The hexagram, mistletoe, some birds, sigils, chamomile, and rosemary also offer protection.

Let your intuition guide you. Working with deities, astrology, and other natural forces, while keeping your intention clear will add power to the charm.

They can be hung from a hook if a doorknob is not convenient.

Merry part. And merry meet again.

All my life I have known magic was real. As a child, I played with the fae, established relationships with trees and “just knew things.” In my maiden years I discovered witchcraft and dabbled in the black-candles-and-cemeteries-at-midnight-on-a-fullmoon magick just enough to realize I did not understand its power. I went on to explore many practices including Zen, astrology, color therapy, native traditions, tarot, herbs, candle magic, gems, and, as I moved into my mother years, Buddhism, the Kabbalah and Reiki. The first man I dated after my divorce was a witch who reintroduced me to the Craft, this time by way of the Goddess. For 11 years I was in a coven, but with retirement, I have returned to an eclectic solitary practice. When accepting the mantle of crone, I pledged to serve and teach. This is what I do from my skoolie – a 30-year-old school bus converted into a tiny house on wheels that I am driving around the country, following 72-degree weather, emerging myself into nature, and sharing magic with those I meet.
