Protection Magic: Boundaries, Cord Cutting & Baneful Magick
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles dive deeper into protection magic and the ethical nuance of baneful magick. This is not a fear-driven conversation about cursing for revenge. It is a grounded discussion about boundaries, spiritual self-protection, and what it means to keep yourself safe in difficult times.
Together, they explore why protection magic is really a form of boundary-setting, why boundaries can feel painful even when they are necessary, and how mirror spells, bindings, cord cutting, and energetic cleansing can be used without creating harmful ties. They also unpack the difference between banishing and cursing, why intention matters, and how to think about protection in relationships, creative work, and everyday life.
If you have ever wondered when stronger magical boundaries are appropriate, how to protect your energy without losing your integrity, or how to cut cords while still holding love, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical place to begin.
