Candle magick is a powerful way to channel energy and manifest intentions. Using a brown candle specifically focuses the energy on security, stability, and grounding. Whether you seek protection for your home, a sense of inner safety, or overall stability in life, this guide will help you perform an effective security spell using the energy of the lunar cycle.
Best Time for Casting a Security Spell
Lunar phases influence the effectiveness of spell-work, so timing your ritual correctly can amplify results. The New Moon is ideal for setting intentions for a fresh start and strengthening protection. The Waxing Moon is best for increasing security, stability, and personal power. The Full Moon enhances protective energy and shields against negativity, making it a powerful time for security spells. The Waning Moon is useful for removing fear, insecurity, and unwanted energies.
Tools & Supplies Needed
A brown candle represents security, grounding, and stability. Essential oils such as cedarwood, vetiver, or frankincense can be used to anoint the candle and enhance protective energy. Herbs like bay leaves, thyme, or clove amplify the spell’s protective and grounding properties. Crystals including black tourmaline for shielding against negative energy, tiger’s eye for strength and stability, and smoky quartz for grounding and protection can be incorporated into the ritual. A small bowl of salt symbolizes protection and purification. A piece of paper and a pen will be needed to write your intention or affirmation. Matches or a lighter will be used to ignite the candle.
Step-by-Step Instructions for the Security Spell
Prepare your space
Prepare you space by cleansing it with incense such as cedar, sage, or myrrh to clear any lingering negativity. Set up your altar with the brown candle, crystals, herbs, and a bowl of salt. Sit comfortably and focus on the sense of security you wish to invite into your life.
Anoint the candle
You can do this by applying a few drops of essential oil onto it. If drawing security and stability toward you, rub the oil from the base of the candle up to the wick. Place the candle in a holder at the centre of your altar.
Write your intention
Write your intension on a piece of paper, such as:
“I am safe, grounded, and protected. Security surrounds me in all aspects of life.”
Fold the paper toward you to attract protective energy.
Light the candle
Light the candle and visualise a warm, protective light surrounding you. Recite a chant such as:
“Earth below and sky so high,Shield my space, let fear pass by.Roots grow deep, strong and wide,In this light, I safely abide.”
Use the crystals
Meditate and charge the crystals by holding them in your hands and closing your eyes. Imagine a grounding force anchoring you to the earth, bringing stability and protection. Place the crystals around the candle or carry them with you after the ritual.
Use the salt offering by sprinkling a small amount around your space or placing a pinch in your pocket for continued protection.
Burn the intention paper carefully in a fireproof dish. As it turns to ash, visualise your security and stability solidifying in your life.
Close the spell
By letting the candle burn out completely or snuffing it out gently you can close the spell (avoid blowing it out to maintain the energy). Thank the universe, the moon, and the elements for their guidance. Dispose of the ashes and wax in a natural place, such as burying them in the earth or sprinkling them in running water.
Final Thoughts
Security spells work best when performed with strong intent and confidence. Whether you seek physical protection, emotional stability, or energetic grounding, trust that the energy you cultivate will manifest in your life. May you always feel safe, secure, and firmly rooted in your path.
