All About Self-Defense Techniques: Learn the Most Powerful Techniques to Cleanse Your Home of Bad Energies, Dark Entities, and More.
Life is full of good times, great friendships, and people who make our moments unforgettable memories, but there are also people who are always looking for ways to hurt us and harm us in some way.
For these types of cases, Santeria offers a great solution so you can ward off those people who don’t bring anything good to your life. If you’re going through this situation, keep reading.
How do Santeria self-defense rituals work?
Through Santeria, you can not only ask the deities for help in resolving a problem or asking for a favor, but you can also perform the well-known rituals to ward off anyone who is bothering you.
- Yoruba religious rituals are performed through rituals composed of prayers and various religious elements that ward off bad vibes and evil thoughts.
- The rituals must be performed by a babalawo, as they are the expert. This works by cleansing the soul, cleansing and eliminating all the bad energies the person may have picked up from a home or its surroundings.
- This doesn’t just apply to individuals; you can also perform rituals on your home, a material object, your workspace, and even if you own a business.
Many people are wary or don’t believe that this type of cleaning and work will work because of the comments other people make, but you should know that this will only work if you believe, because if you are predisposed, the cleaning won’t be as successful as you want.
Work to Cleanse the House of Bad Energies
One of the places that possess bad energies is our homes, as strange as it may seem. When inviting guests, some of them may have a bad energy charge and leave the spaces of your house with that vibe, making the atmosphere feel tense and heavy.
Another reason why you don’t feel calm or peaceful in your home is because from the beginning, that is, from the moment this house was purchased, there was already bad energy surrounding it.
If you’re looking for a method to cleanse your house, here are two that are well-known and used by people:
- Buy sea salt at your nearest store. If you can’t find this ingredient, you can opt for vinegar.
- Add six (6) tablespoons of sea salt to a large container of water, preferably a bucket.
- Immerse the salt you will use to cleanse the spaces. Make sure it’s completely clean.
- Pass the cloth over every corner of your home, over every corner, and under every object to eliminate all negative energies. Be sure to sweep first before doing this.
- While this is sufficient, you can also offer a prayer to the Orishas.
Work to Remove Dark Entities from the House
Removing dark spirits from homes is one of the most difficult works in the world of Santeria. This must be done by an expert, in this case a babalawo, who is in charge of eliminating anything that disturbs your home and continues to trouble you.
If you feel that there is an evil spirit or entity in your home that is keeping you from resting or feeling comfortable with yourself, you must follow these steps:
- You must allow the babalawo to come to your home to examine it because what you feel is different from what he can feel and observe.
- The babalawo stands in front of a mirror and asks what is in the house.
- The various objects are placed on the altar.
To perform this third step, you must choose which altar to build, and in this case, the Bóveda Altar will be used. This is done as follows:
- The staff of the deceased owner of the house should be placed there to summon any spirits that may be in the house.
- A mirror should be placed on the altar. It can be the same one used by the babalawo.
- Candles should be placed to indicate the path the spirit should take.
- The babalawo then holds a conversation to formalize a kind of pact in which the spirits are expected to leave the house or, if they choose to stay, do so without disturbing others.
- Through the mirror, they are returned to the afterlife.
Work to Defend Yourself from an Enemy
Although it may seem unbelievable, even like something out of a movie, there are enemies everywhere we go who seek to harm us and take advantage of us. If you know someone who wants to harm you at any time, you must do this work to free yourself from them:
- You need to find a “I can do more than you” stick, a “tame handsome” stick, a candle, brown paper, a graphite pencil, red and white thread, and finally, pure tobacco.
- After gathering all of the above, take the “tame handsome” stick and split it right down the middle. You must also do this with the “I can do more than you” stick.
- Light the candle to Elegguá, ask for his blessing, and tell him what you are going to do and the reason for it.
- Take the brown paper and pencil and write the person’s name seven (7) times, then write your name seven (7) times on top.
- Do the same on the back.
- Join one half of the “tame handsome” stick with the other half, “I can do more than you.”
- Take the paper and wrap it around the sticks in an upward direction so you can attract protection.
- Wrap the white and red thread around one end of the stick, facing inward or in the middle, and do the same on the other side. Try to use a generous amount and make this knot strong. It’s important that one side is half white and the other half red.
- You should pray out loud each time you do this.
- Place the finished work in front of Elegguá or the pot, add aguardiente or rum, and finally, tobacco smoke.
- Let the candle burn to the end, and every Monday, add aguardiente and tobacco smoke. Meditate with Elegguá and tell him how your situation is going.
Work for Envy
Envy is an energy that can affect you in many ways, from the simplest to the most dangerous. Envy can cause your nails to break, but it can also cause serious events to occur in your life.
In our jobs, our circles of friends, and even our families, there are people who don’t always have the best intentions and only want to harm us, so you must be aware of your surroundings.
If you feel that you have not had luck in the goals you have recently set for yourself or that a positive quality of yours has weakened, you should do the following:
- Find three (3) garlic candles, metal scissors, a garlic peel, and matches.
- Take the garlic peel and draw a triangle pointing toward the exit of the front door of your house so that the negativity will go away. In the center, draw an eye, and inside it, an X.
- Above the eye and the X you made, place the open metal scissors.
- Place each candle in the corners of the triangle and write the name of the envious person inside if you know their name.
- You should say: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen, and then the following:
- “I ask God’s permission to invoke my protective spirits, my spirits of light, to help me cleanse and purify my body and my home and free it from all disturbance, envy, or witchcraft against me.
I make this request for revocation, which returns all spiritual and material work you have done. I return it with these three blessed garlic candles, with the power of light. I send it to (name of person). God accompanies me on my journey. Amen.”
Work to Get Rid of a Dead Person
This last work I have for you is to remove or completely remove a dead person from your body or that someone else has. The steps to follow are:
- Find a plate of any color and material except plastic, wheat flour, coarse salt, a head of garlic, and an egg.
- Place the wheat flour on the right side of the plate and the egg on top (the longer part facing down). Add the coarse salt on the left side and place the head of garlic on top (the thinner part should be facing down).
- You can place this on the right or left side of your house.
As you can see, there is a way to solve different problems and remove bad energies from your life simply by following the steps found here. Remember that, depending on the difficulty, you should consult an expert to avoid any mistakes.
An important thing to keep in mind is not to be predisposed to the fact that things won’t work out so that the work is a complete success. I hope this has been of great help.
