Crystals for Protection
Protection is the most common reason people reach for a crystal or herb. Protective stones and plants are used to shield a person, a home or a car from harm, bad luck and draining energy — often dark stones like obsidian and black tourmaline, and sharp-scented herbs like rosemary, rue and garlic.

How to use crystals for protection
- Carry one in a pocket or wear it as jewelry so its energy stays with you.
- Place it where you want its effect — by the bed, on a desk, beside the front door.
- Hold it while you state your intention, or set three together as a small grid.
- Cleanse and recharge it regularly, and check its safety notes: several stones shouldn’t go in water or sunlight.
