If an empath could live her entire life secluded in nature, she would never need this charm. Of course – as idyllic as such a life may sound to an empath – everyone must get out into the world and around other people sometimes, for both practical purposes and recreational ones.
And here’s some good news for those of us who are super sensitive to the emotions of others, and are looking for ways to protect ourselves as empaths: just a tiny bit of magical preparation can make a huge difference in our emotional and energetic well-being. Case in point: this protection spell.
This extra simple magical charm bag only requires three ingredients (and a small drawstring bag), and they are all extremely powerful when it comes to shielding even the most sensitive among us from other people’s emotions, as well as challenging and negative vibrations of all varieties.
Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients:
1 small, drawstring bag (you can sew this or buy it – tea or spice bags work well and are very affordable)
1 clear quartz crystal point
1 clove of garlic
1 generous pinch of angelica root
On a Sunday, spread all ingredients (including bag) on a dinner plate, and hold it in bright sunlight. Sense the sunlight blessing and empowering all ingredients, and infusing them with powerful positivity. When this feels complete (it need not take longer than 2 minutes), place the crystal, garlic, and angelica in the bag and tie it closed. Hold in both open palms, again allowing the sunlight to shine on it. In your mind’s eye, see it filled with the golden light of the sun. Imagine this light radiating out from the charm in a large sphere, and empower it with the intention to powerfully protect you from any and all harsh, challenging, or negative energies. Know that whenever you keep the charm near, you will be cocooned in this protective light. Thank the energies of the earth, sky, and sun by saying, “Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessed be. And so it is.”
Carry the charm in a pocket or pinned to the inside of your clothing as needed.

Asé! Thank you for this!!!
You’re very welcome, Freya! Thank you for reading.
Hello,
I have a question regarding something that may not even matter, but; should the garlic clove be peeled, or should it remain in it’s skin?
Thanks!
It will work either way, but leaving it in its skin will help prevent you from going around smelling like garlic. 🙂
Haha, Thanks! And now I wait for a sunny Sunday!
So happy to have found your work Tess (thanks to Magical Housekeeping). Love your combination of magic and posititivity =) I’ve struggled as an empath for 29 years and keeping myself protected until finding my Selenite crystal necklace and keeping a clear quartz on myself at all times. Now on days that I feel bogged down, I realize I forgot to wear them. What a difference they make! Can’t wait to use your tips to amp things up when needed. Thanks!
Hi Alyssa! Thank you for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the charm. If you don’t already, I also recommend doing a daily clearing and shielding meditation. For example like this one: https://tesswhitehurst.com/quick-thorough-aura-cleansing-meditation/
Hello Tessa!! thank you so much for this post!! I’m 15 and It has been so difficult trying to deal with being an empath especially the awful anxiety amongst crowds but I have a really good feeling about this and can’t wait to try it so once again thank you!!
Holly-Rose, I’m so glad this is helpful. Another tip: even though I am usually vegan, I have found it’s a tremendous help to wear silk when I’m around large crowds, particularly over my heart and belly areas.
