12 Ways To Protect Kids From Black Magic And Evil Eye

Ways to Protect Kids from Black Magic and Evil Eye. Every parent wants to keep their children safe from harm.

We lock our doors, teach them about stranger danger, and hold their hands tight when crossing busy streets. But what about the dangers we cannot see?

Many cultures around the world fear the dangers of black magic and the evil eye, which cause harm, illness, or bad luck.

If you’re looking for ways to shield your children from these unseen forces, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I will explore twelve powerful methods to protect your little ones from negative energies and ill intentions.

What is Black Magic?

Black magic refers to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish purposes. Throughout history, some bad people have used certain rituals, spells, or objects to cause harm to others.

When someone targets a child with black magic, they may intend to cause illness, fear, or misfortune. Many cultures have their own names and beliefs about black magic, but the common thread is that someone can use hidden forces to hurt another person.

What is an Evil Eye?

The evil eye is a widespread belief found in many cultures across the world. It suggests that certain people can cause harm just by looking at someone with envy or ill will.

Children are often thought to be especially vulnerable to the evil eye because of their innocence and beauty. The effects of the evil eye might include sudden illness, crankiness, or unexplained crying in babies and young children. Unlike black magic, which is intentional, the evil eye can be cast unintentionally by someone who merely admires or envies a child.

12 Ways to Protect Kids from Black Magic and Evil Eye

1. Protective Amulets and Talismans

Amulets and talismans have been used for centuries across many cultures to ward off negative energies. These special objects create a protective shield around the wearer.

What you need:

A protective symbol that resonates with your beliefs (such as the Hamsa hand, Nazar, or Cross)
A chain or cord to wear it as a necklace
Optional: herbs or stones known for their protective properties

How to prepare and use

Choose a symbol that holds meaning in your family’s cultural or spiritual tradition. Many people prefer the Hamsa hand, which represents protection against the evil eye in Middle Eastern cultures. Others might choose the Nazar, a blue and white eye-shaped charm popular in Turkey and surrounding regions.

To activate the amulet, hold it in your hands and close your eyes. Visualize a bright, white light surrounding both you and the amulet. Say a simple prayer or affirmation such as, “I charge this amulet with protective energy to shield my child from all harm and negative influences.”

Place the amulet on a chain long enough that your child can wear it without it being a choking hazard. For very young children, you can attach the amulet to their crib, stroller, or clothing instead.

How to maintain it

Once a month, hold the amulet under running water to cleanse it of any absorbed negative energy. After cleansing, recharge it by placing it in sunlight for a few hours while repeating your protective intention.

2. Salt Protection Circles

Salt has long been considered a powerful purifier and protector in many traditions. Creating a salt circle around your child’s sleeping area can create a barrier against negative energies.

What you need:

Pure sea salt or rock salt
A small bowl or container

How to prepare and use: Before your child goes to sleep, take a small amount of salt in your hand. Starting at the head of your child’s bed, walk clockwise around the bed while sprinkling a thin line of salt. As you do this, visualize a protective barrier forming around the sleeping area.

While creating the circle, you can say these words: “With this circle of salt, I create a protective barrier. No negative energy may cross this line. My child is safe within this space.”

Important note: Make sure the salt line is not directly where your child might touch or ingest it. Keep it against the wall or baseboard rather than in the middle of the floor, where crawling babies or toddlers might reach it.

Maintenance: Refresh the salt circle once a week or after cleaning the floor. Each time you renew it, repeat the protective words and intention.

3. Protective Herbal Baths

Water has cleansing properties, and when combined with protective herbs, it can create a powerful shield for your child. Regular herbal baths can help wash away any negative energy that may have attached to your child during the day.

What you need:

Dried protective herbs (such as rosemary, sage, basil, or lavender)
A small cloth bag or piece of cheesecloth
Your child’s regular bath

How to prepare and use: Place a handful of protective herbs into the cloth bag and tie it securely. Fill your child’s bathtub with warm water as you normally would. As the tub fills, place the herb bag in the water, allowing it to steep like a tea.

While the bath is running, you can say these words: “Water and herbs, pure and strong, wash away all that does not belong. Protect my child from harm and fear, keep them safe throughout the year.”

Let your child bathe in this protective water for at least 15 minutes. For very young children, you can use the herb-infused water to gently sponge them down instead of a full bath.

Maintenance: Give your child a protective herbal bath once a week, preferably on the same day each week to create a routine of protection.

4. Prayer and Affirmation Rituals

The power of positive words and intentions cannot be underestimated when it comes to protection. Regular prayer or affirmation rituals can create a strong energetic shield around your child.

What you need:

A quiet space
Your voice
Optional: religious text if that aligns with your beliefs

How to prepare and use: Choose a time each day when you can focus without interruption. Many parents find that bedtime works well for this ritual. Place your hand gently on your child’s head or heart.

Say a prayer or affirmation that feels right to you. Here is an example you can use or adapt: “Divine protection surrounds my child completely. No harm may come to them, no negative energy may touch them. They are safe, they are loved, they are protected in all ways.”

Repeat this prayer or affirmation three times, each time with more conviction and feeling. Visualize a bright light surrounding your child as you speak the words.

Maintenance: Make this a daily practice, ideally at the same time each day. Consistency strengthens the protective energy around your child.

5. Smoke Cleansing

Smoke cleansing is an ancient practice used to clear negative energy from people and spaces. Using sacred smoke to cleanse your child and their environment can help remove any harmful energies.

What you need:

Dried sage, cedar, or palo santo
A fireproof container
A feather or your hand to direct the smoke

How to prepare and use: Light the end of your chosen cleansing herb until it begins to smoke. Gently blow out any flame so that it’s just smoldering and releasing smoke.

Starting at your child’s feet, move the smoke upward around their body. Use your hand or a feather to direct the smoke. As you do this, say these words: “I cleanse you of all negative energy. Only that which is good and loving may remain with you.”

After cleansing your child, move through their room, paying special attention to corners, closets, and windows where negative energy might collect. Open a window to allow the negative energy to leave.

Maintenance: Perform this smoke cleansing ritual once a week or whenever you feel it’s needed, such as after your child has been sick or after visitors have left your home.

6. Protective Stones and Crystals

Certain stones and crystals are believed to have protective properties that can shield your child from negative energies. These natural elements can be placed in your child’s room or worn as jewelry.

What you need:

Protective stones such as black tourmaline, amethyst, or clear quartz
A small pouch or setting if your child will wear the stone
Running water for cleansing

How to prepare and use: Choose a stone that feels right for your child. Black tourmaline is excellent for protection against negative energy, while amethyst provides spiritual protection. Clear quartz can amplify positive energy.

Before using the stone, cleanse it by holding it under running water for a few minutes. As the water runs over it, say these words: “I cleanse this stone of all previous energy. It will now serve only to protect my child.”

Hold the stone in your hands and close your eyes. Visualize a protective light surrounding the stone and say, “I charge this stone with protective energy. It will shield my child from all harm and negative influences.”

Place the stone in your child’s room, preferably near their bed or play area. For older children, you can place the stone in a small pouch that they can wear or carry with them.

Maintenance: Cleanse the stone under running water once a week and recharge it by placing it in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours.

7. Window and Door Protection

Negative energy is believed to enter homes through windows and doors. By placing protective symbols or objects at these entry points, you can prevent harmful energies from entering your child’s space.

What you need:

Protective symbols (such as Hamsa hands, evil eye beads, or crosses)
Salt water or holy water
A small bowl

How to prepare and use: Mix a small amount of salt in water to create a protective solution. Dip your finger in the water and trace a protective symbol on each window and door in your home, especially those leading to your child’s room.

As you trace each symbol, say these words: “I seal this entrance against all negative energy. Only love and light may pass through here.”

Place a protective symbol above or beside each entrance to reinforce the protection. For added strength, you can sprinkle a line of salt across windowsills and doorways.

Maintenance: Refresh the protective symbols and salt lines once a month, or after cleaning windows and doors. Each time you renew them, repeat the protective words.

8. Protective Food and Drink

In many traditions, certain foods and drinks are believed to offer protection when consumed regularly. Incorporating these into your child’s diet can help build their natural defenses against negative energy.

What you need:

Protective foods such as garlic, honey, milk, and certain herbs
Your child’s regular meals and snacks

How to prepare and use: Add small amounts of protective foods to your child’s diet. For example, you can mix a pinch of garlic powder into their food (if age-appropriate and not contraindicated by health conditions), or give them a small spoonful of honey each morning.

As you prepare these foods, hold the intention of protection in your mind. You can say these words silently or aloud: “This food nourishes and protects my child. It builds their strength against all negative influences.”

For drinks, consider adding a small amount of protective herbs to warm milk or tea (for older children). Chamomile and lavender are both calming and protective.

Maintenance: Incorporate protective foods into your child’s diet daily. Consistency is key to building and maintaining their protective energy.

9. Mirror Protection

Mirrors are believed to reflect negative energy back to its source. Placing small mirrors strategically in your home can protect your child from harmful influences.

What you need:

Small mirrors or mirror tiles
Strong adhesive or putty
Optional: protective symbols to place on the back of the mirrors

How to prepare and use: Cleanse each mirror by running it under cool water and saying these words: “I cleanse this mirror to serve as protection. It will reflect all harm away from my child.”

Place the mirrors facing outward near entry points to your home, especially the main door and windows near your child’s room. You can also place a small mirror above your child’s crib or bed, facing upward to reflect negative energy away from them while they sleep.

As you place each mirror, say these words: “This mirror reflects all negative energy back to its source. My child remains safe and protected.”

Maintenance: Clean the mirrors regularly with a soft cloth and water. Each time you clean them, repeat the protective intention to strengthen their power.

10. Candle Protection Ritual

Fire has long been used in protection rituals across many cultures. A simple candle ritual can create a powerful shield of light around your child.

What you need:

A white or blue candle
A candle holder
Matches or a lighter

How to prepare and use: Choose a time when you will not be disturbed. Place the candle in a safe location where it can burn without risk, away from flammable objects and out of reach of children.

Light the candle and focus on the flame. As you watch it burn, visualize a protective light surrounding your child. Say these words: “As this candle burns bright, it creates a shield of protective light around my child. No harm may come to them, no negative energy may touch them.”

Allow the candle to burn for at least 15 minutes while you maintain your focus on the protective visualization. If possible, let the candle burn out completely on its own.

Maintenance: Perform this candle ritual once a week, preferably on the same day each week to maintain consistent protection.

11. Protective Clothing and Accessories

What your child wears can serve as a constant source of protection. Certain colors, symbols, and materials are believed to shield the wearer from negative energy.

What you need:

Clothing in protective colors (such as white, blue, or red)
Protective symbols that can be sewn onto clothing
Optional: protective herbs or stones to place in pockets

How to prepare and use: Choose clothing in colors that are associated with protection in your cultural tradition. White is often used for purification and protection, blue for spiritual protection, and red for vitality and protection against evil.

Sew or draw protective symbols onto your child’s clothing, especially on items they wear frequently. These could be simple symbols like stars, crosses, or eyes, or more complex symbols from your specific tradition.

As you prepare each item of clothing, hold it in your hands and say these words: “This clothing now serves as protection for my child. It shields them from all harm and negative energy.”

For added protection, you can place small protective stones or herbs in your child’s pockets if they are old enough not to swallow them.

Maintenance: Cleanse protective clothing regularly by washing it with a small amount of salt in the water. After washing, hold the clothing and repeat the protective words to recharge it.

12. Community Protection

There is strength in numbers, and creating a network of protection around your child through community can be very powerful. When friends and family join together to focus on protecting a child, their combined energy creates a strong shield.

What you need:

Trusted friends and family members
A time when everyone can focus together
Optional: candles, incense, or other ritual items

How to prepare and use: Gather your trusted circle of friends and family members, either in person or through a virtual connection. Explain that you would like their help in creating a protective shield for your child.

Ask everyone to close their eyes and visualize your child surrounded by bright, protective light. You can guide them by saying these words: “Imagine my child standing in the center of a circle of light. This light grows brighter and stronger, creating an impenetrable shield around them. No harm may come to them, no negative energy may touch them.”

Ask everyone to hold this visualization for at least five minutes, sending their love and protective energy to your child.

Maintenance: Organize this community protection ritual once a month or whenever you feel your child needs extra protection. The more people who participate, the stronger the protective energy becomes.
