Return to Sender: A Simple Protection Spell for Karmic Justice
Sometimes energy gets messy. People project, gossip stings, and the spiritual gunk builds up like dust on your soul. When that happens, I don’t go on a witch hunt. I go inward, protect my space, and return the crap to wherever it came from: with love, boundaries, and lemon.
This spell is my go-to for return-to-sender work. It’s gentle, drama-free, and keeps your own energy clean while letting karma handle the rest. No revenge, no malice: just strong, grounded protection.
What You’ll Need
- 1 black candle (for banishing + shielding)
- 1 lemon (for cleansing + absorption)
- A few cloves (for protection)
- 1 incense stick (black pepper, cinnamon, or ginger work beautifully)
- A knife or a boline
My Intent Behind This Spell
This isn’t black magic. It’s not even a curse. This is energetic hygiene. It’s me saying:
“Nope, not mine. Take it back.”
You don’t need to know who sent the negativity. You don’t even need to be angry. All you need is the clarity that your peace matters more, and a willingness to hand the weight back to the universe.
Casting the Spell
1. Cleanse the Space
Light your incense. Let it drift around you and the tools. Breathe in, exhale what’s not yours.
2. Light the Candle
As the black candle burns, picture a shield rising around you: strong, reflective, impenetrable. No one’s bad vibes get past this barrier.
3. Cut the Lemon
Slice it in half. As you do, imagine yourself cutting cords to whatever’s been weighing you down: jealousy, bitterness, weird energy from strangers on the internet… whatever. Let it go.
4. Add the Cloves
Push three cloves into each half of the lemon. As you do, speak (or whisper if you prefer privacy):
“Return to sender, harm no more.
Justice flows from the karmic core.
With this spell, I am protected,
Harm reversed and harm deflected.”
Say it with intention. Feel the power in your words.
5. Seal the Work
Blow out the candle when you feel ready. Release the energy. The Universe knows what to do.
6. Place the Lemons
Put the lemon halves in a container and slide them under your bed (or somewhere near where you sleep). Let them draw out and neutralize whatever junk was hanging in your field.
Completing the Spell
Toss the lemon. Compost it if you can, or just throw it in the trash with gratitude. The energy is cleared. The spell is done. You’re safe.
And if you ever feel the need to recharge your protection, just relight the candle and revisit your intention. No need to redo the whole thing unless you really want to.
Why I Love This Spell
It’s simple. It’s clean. It doesn’t mess with anyone’s free will. But it does remind the universe (and maybe a few people) that your energy isn’t a dumping ground.
This isn’t just a spell, it’s a boundary.
A reset.
A firm but magical “not today, Satan.”
Stay safe, stay sovereign, and remember: your energy is sacred. Protect it like the powerful witch you are. 🖤🕯🍋
