Harry Potter Inspired Spell: Protego Totalum

snwitch:

Hi everyone! In continuation with my Harry Potter inspired magic series, today I wanted to share with you a little spell based off of the spell, Protego Totalum, from the Harry Potter books. In Harry Potter, Protego Totalum is used to protect a room or area for an extended period of time. This spell is meant to be used as a room protection spell. Enjoy!

What you’ll need:

4 medium to large fresh basil leaves (If you don’t have access to basil leaves, you could potentially use bay leaves, aloe leaves, or blackberry leaves)

1 pen or marker

What you do:

Gently wash the basil leaves under clean, running water. As the water runs over them, allow the water to cleanse away all impurities and negativity from the leaves.

On each basil leaf, write “Protego Totalum”. Alternatively, you could use a sigil made from the phrase, “Protego Totalum”, and write that on each leaf. As you write, imagine that the power of the words seeps into the leaves, infusing each leaf with protective intent.

Place the leaves in the four corners of the room that you wish to protect. Imagine that a protective, white light connects each of the leaves forming a circle of safety that encompasses the whole of the room.

Leave the leaves there for as long as you wish. If you choose to remove them but you still want their protective power to last, simply say something akin to, “The leaves are removed, but their power remains. This room is protected by the power of the words, Protego Totalum” as you remove each leaf.

I hope you like this spell and find it helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask, and, if you have any suggestions for more Harry Potter inspired spells, feel free to send me your ideas! Thanks for reading,
