Certainly not everyone believes in their existence, but many people can swear they have had paranormal experiences at least once in their life, and I am no exception. And who knows, maybe even you during the quarantine and staying at home, you have observed something bizarre happening in front of your own eyes. So, skeptical or not, why not keep reading and discover the different ways to chase a spirit out of your home and ward off negative energies?
Let’s start by asking ourselves, what is a spirit?
Spirit has several definitions, but the one that interests us is the one associated with the idea of a ghost. That is, a spirit (or a spiritual being) is a conscious and energetic being. It may or may not be smart. It can be benevolent, malicious, or indifferent. A spirit may have been born on a spiritual or energetic level, or it may once have been part of a physical being that has since died and fallen away.
Spiritual beings are generally immortal, as they are energetic and therefore cannot be destroyed. They are not necessarily wiser or more powerful than physical beings, although they have a greater potential for wisdom and power due to their greater potential for experience and their direct connection with the energy of the Universe.
Now that we have a general idea of what a spirit is, we can move on to our defense mechanisms. Let’s start with the salt. Something that we all have at home and that we have certainly seen on TV. But I’ll tell you a secret, throwing a fistful of salt at a demon like shown in horror movies doesn’t work. In fact, some demons aren’t even affected by salt! However, how can we prevent evil entities from entering our home? Pouring a line of salt (about 1.27 cm thick) to block every opening in the house (chimneys, fans and windows included) would be enough. But what if the spirit is already in the house? And what if he’s really aggressive?
Well, in this case, don’t even think about blocking the exits. The ghost would find himself trapped with you, which would make him furious. In that situation, however. you could try to pour salt behind you, to lock the ghost in a specific room, and have enough time to evacuate the place. If you can’t get out, create a protective circle for defense. It is nothing difficult, and there is no secret. It is simply a circle of salt of the same thickness that we talked about earlier.
Other means of protection, used by witches and lovers of the paranormal all over the world, consist of certain types of herbs and stones. Now, dear reader, don’t worry. You don’t have to buy all of this to be safe from a spirit, in fact I’ll tell you a little secret, Rosemary and clear quartz can be used as a substitute for any missing plants and crystals.
How can we use herbs and stones to protect ourselves? To be fair, as well as for complex rituals, herbs and stones can be used perfectly in the same way as salt (although in addition to being used like salt, plants and herbs in magic are mostly burned or eaten if edible). But of course you can’t just do it all and hope the annoyance will go away forever. In most cases, psychic advice is what you really need.
