Magic has always fascinated humanity, oscillating between mystery and power. In

this first part, we will focus on white magic, often considered the most virtuous of

magical practices. But before diving into its specifics, it is essential to understand the

different colors of magic and their respective meanings.

Origins of Magic

The origins of magic date back to the dawn of time, long before writing and modern

civilizations. Magic emerged in prehistoric societies, where early humans sought to

understand and control the natural world around them. The earliest forms of magic

were intimately linked to shamanic rituals, invocations of nature spirits, and prayers to

protective deities.

In ancient Egypt, priests and magicians used incantations and amulets to invoke

divine powers, healing the sick and protecting the pharaohs. In Mesopotamia, clay

tablets reveal complex rituals intended to influence the gods and natural forces.

Celtic druids, Greek sages, and medieval wizards all contributed to the evolution of

magic, each culture bringing its own beliefs and practices.

Magic has always been a means for humanity to attempt to grasp the inexplicable,

manipulate invisible forces, and find meaning in the universe. It continues to fascinate

and intrigue, testifying to the timeless quest for power, knowledge, and connection

with the sacred.

The Colors of Magic

 White Magic:

White magic is positive magic, focused on protection, healing, and well-being. It is

benevolent and virtuous, beneficial for both the practitioner and the recipient. In the

practice of white magic, rituals and incantations are used to attract positive energies,

purify spirits, and protect against negative influences. For example, healing spells or

protective talismans are typical of this practice.

 Red Magic:

Red magic is often associated with emotions and romantic feelings.

It aims to develop and promote affectionate and sexual relationships.

However, when used to manipulate or force someone to feel emotions against their

will, it can veer into black magic.

Ethics in the use of red magic is crucial, as it can easily become harmful if used to

control or influence coercively.

 Green Magic:

Green magic is dedicated to the energies of nature.

It involves the use of plants, natural elements, and the cycles of the Earth.

Practitioners of green magic, also known as green witches, wiccans, or modern

healers, focus on healing with herbs, communicating with nature spirits, and

harmonizing with the natural environment.

This form of magic is deeply ecological and respectful of nature.

 Black Magic:

Black magic is a forbidden and malevolent practice.

It is associated with all that is unhealthy, negative, and aims to subjugate people.

Black magic spells seek to harm, manipulate, control, or destroy.

This form of magic is often linked to selfish and destructive intentions and is

considered dangerous and immoral.

What is White Magic?

In the practice of white magic, various rituals and incantations are used to attract

positive energies, purify people, objects, or places, seek help from higher spirits

capable of interacting with the physical world and time, and protect against negative

influences. White magic is the art of attracting positive energies and solving many life

problems through rituals, whether they be financial, romantic, professional, or for

protection against curses.

White magic is a set of practices, rituals, incantations, and techniques aimed solely at

promoting good and well-being. It never seeks to harm anyone and uses only

invocations and rituals that call upon positive energies. The main objective is to

attract divine and energetic protection to oneself (or the targeted person) to reap

certain benefits. White magic rituals activate beneficial forces and create an alliance

between these forces and your own energy. The more involved and heartfelt you are

in your actions, the stronger the energy will be.

Believing in what you are doing enhances the effectiveness of your rituals.

White magic is a practice to invoke, attract, and activate forces that come to you.

These practices are often rooted in ancestral traditions, but the main strength lies in

the intention, the belief in what you are doing, and the energy you put into your ritual.

White magic is distinguished by its goal to promote good, help, and protect.

 Protection

Spells and protective amulets are common. They aim to create energy shields

around people, places, or objects to protect them from negative influences.

 Healing

Rituals can be performed to heal physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. Healing

through positive energies and the use of herbs are common.

 Purification

Purification rituals cleanse negative energies and restore harmony. This can include

the purification of homes, objects, or people.

 Benevolent Rituals

Ceremonies are performed to attract luck, love, abundance, and peace into people's

lives.

Protection Practices in White Magic

Protection is one of the fundamental aspects of white magic. Protection practices aim

to create energy barriers to defend individuals, places, and objects against negative

influences.

I. Amulets and Talismans

 Protection Amulet : A personal object, such as a precious stone (obsidian,

black tourmaline, tiger's eye), charged with protective intentions and worn as a

pendant.

 Protection Talisman : A symbol engraved or drawn (such as the pentacle,

ankh, or Eye of Horus), often accompanied by specific prayers or mantras to

reinforce its power.

2. Circles of Protection

The circle of protection is a ritual practice where a sacred space is delineated to

prevent negative energies from entering. Circles can be physically drawn with salt,

herbs, or stones, or visualized mentally.

Here's how to proceed:

 Physical Tracing: Sprinkle salt, flour, or protective herbs (such as sage or

rosemary) to form a circle around the space to be protected.

 Visualization: Visualize a bright, powerful circle surrounding the space,

invoking the elements or protective entities to reinforce the barrier.

3. Purification Rituals

Purification rituals are used to eliminate negative energies and prepare a space or

person to receive protection. These rituals can include:

 Smudging: Burning sacred herbs like sage, cedar, or Palo Santo to purify the

air and chase away negative energies.

 Holy Water: Sprinkling holy water around the house or on a person to purify

and protect.

 Purification Baths: Taking a bath with purifying salts (such as sea salt or

Epsom salt) and protective herbs to cleanse oneself of negative energies.

4. Protective Candles

Candles play a crucial role in protection rituals. Each candle color has its own

meaning and use:

 White Candles: Used for purification and general protection.

 Black Candles: Paradoxically, they are used to absorb and repel negative

energies.

 Blue Candles: Employed for emotional and spiritual protection.

For a protection ritual with candles, light a candle of the appropriate color, focus on

the flame, and recite a protection prayer or incantation.

5. Incantations and Prayers

Words have immense power in white magic. Incantations and prayers are used to

invoke protective forces. Here is an example of a protection incantation:

 Simple Incantation: "By the light of the Moon and the strength of the Sun, Let

all shadows be banished, let all harm be undone. Divine protection, I call upon

you now, Surround me with your shield, mighty and kind"

6. Protective Crystals and Stones

Crystals and stones are powerful tools in white magic for protection.

Each stone has its specific properties:

 Black Obsidian : Absorbs negative energies and protects against malevolent

influences.

 Black Tourmaline : Creates an energy shield around its wearer.

 Tiger’s Eye : Protects against curses and strengthens courage.

By placing these crystals in your environment or carrying them with you, you can

benefit from their protective energies.

Protection practices in white magic are diverse and powerful. They create a safe and

harmonious environment, free from negative influences. By incorporating these

rituals into your daily life, you can not only protect yourself but also help protect those

you love.
