In the past few weeks, Crossroads has seen a significant increase in people seeking protection from the toxic energies around them. I can only imagine that if our clients have higher concerned about shielding themselves and their properties, others must as well.
When we had a brick-and-mortar store, shielding the building and its contents from negative energy was a primary concern of ours. We knew we wanted the energy to feel light, welcoming, and above all, safe, for the vulnerable people who sought us out for help with their spiritual and energetic needs. This means we were aggressive about keeping the store cleansed, protected, and empowered. Every day, people came into the store and said, “It just feels so good in here!” That told us we had achieved our goal.
I perform many remote cleansings each week and remove negative intrusions such as curses, crossings, and attachments, plus soothe the trauma responses that life triggers in our clients. Once the clients are cleansed, they have a similar response, noting how good they feel. That is often followed by, “This protects me from future contamination, right?”
No, it surely doesn’t. Cleansing is cleansing and protecting is protecting. They are two separate functions. If a mom bathes her little child, gets them all shiny and clean and dresses them in their finest clothes, that only lasts until the child runs outside and jumps into a mud puddle. What happens then? Mom has to clean the child all over again.
It is the same with spiritual cleansing. I can remove all of the negative energy and soothe the trauma damage, but if the client is then exposed to more toxic energy, they must be cleaned again. Many people contact me saying, “I just had a cleansing last month! Why do I feel contaminated again?” Likely, it is because they did not use any shielding or protection techniques to keep them safe after the cleansing.

What does that look like? Here are some techniques we use on ourselves, our home, and previously, our store.
This is a nazar, which is an amulet that is quite effective at repelling bad energy. We had them all over our shop and in our home, plus we wore bracelets and pendants including them. Here are some links with examples of the nazar:
Religious medallions/medals are effective if they are associated with your beliefs:
St. Christopher, St. Michael, and any version of the Blessed Mother are especially protective. Wearing a cross, pentacle, or other symbol that aligns with your personal religious beliefs helps to protect you from incoming energy attacks and incidental exposure to negative energy.
Tourmaline and other black stones are great for protection as well, whether it's in jewelry or just the stone. There is no increase in protection based on the price or availability of the stone. All that matters is that it is black.
Incenses and sacred sprays made using Dragon's Blood resin also work great for protection:

Fiery Wall of Protection spray and Dragon's Blood sprays are both great for protection:

Florida Water and Smudge Spray are wonderful for clearing existing negative energy and the Fiery Wall of Protection spray is one of the best tools for personal protection. https://crossroadsoccult.com/wash/. Using 4 Thieves Vinegar and Chinese Wash will purge negative energy from the physical structure of a home and lift the energy, inviting positive energy and providing protection. When you order these items, we include instructions for how to use the products.
If you know a specific person is sending you negative energy or causing a trigger response in you, you can order a binding and/or mirror box for the people causing the problem: https://crossroadsoccult.com/personal-spellwork/ This sends their energy back to them and restricts their ability to harm you.
Candle work is extremely helpful for ongoing protection, including Fiery Wall of Protection, Cast Out Evil, Reversing, GTFO, and Spell Breaker are excellent choices for protection. https://crossroadsoccult.com/candles/
Boundary protection using dirts, powders, and salts creates an energetic boundary that you can empower to keep out any energy or person that intends you harm. Cascarilla, Graveyard Dirt, Black Salt, Brick Dust, and Fiery Wall of Protection are (least to most) the protection products we make and use for protection. Sprinkle them around your bed if you have trouble sleeping and across your threshold and windowsills. https://crossroadsoccult.com/dirt/.
