We all love our pets very much. As members of our family, they give us company and joy without asking for much. Having an animal at home is also a great way to improve the energy around us as they lighten the mood at all times. 🐶🐱
This is a protection spell for pets, including cats, dogs, birds, turtles or any other household animal. It will protect a pet from theft or so that they don’t get lost or sick. In ancient times, healers used pet protection spells to keep farm animals such as chickens and horses safe. Today, we can cast a spell to protect our pets, giving them a long life, positive energy and joy.
How this Pet Protection Spell Works
- Brown candles are used in rituals related to Earth magic as they invoke grounding, stability, and nurturing. They are related to animal magic, home magic, friendships and agriculture.
- This spell is traditionally Catholic so we will use the image of Saint Francis of Assisi. ✝️ He is the patron saint of the environment and animals because he loved all creatures and allegedly preached to even the birds. If you don’t feel comfortable invoking Saints, you can replace his image with a Tarot card, in this case the Strength card.
- The Strength card 🦁 is the Tarot archetype of transmitting love and compassion, gently influencing Nature, courage, and strength itself.
- Water 💧 will also be part of our ritual as a sacred element of purification and healing, which can contain and transfer our energy.
Tips for this Spell Protection Charm 💡
If you have more than one pet and want to include them all in this ritual, simply place all their names/photos on your altar and burn one candle for each pet. (For example, if you have a dog and a cat, light two brown candles).
You can include a few protective herbs 🌿 before you bury the remains, or create a pet protection spell pouch with a sachet or toilet paper roll as explained here.
