Make Your Front Door Magical!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Hello! A very warm welcome back to my channel - this week we’re talking about how to make the entrance to your home a magical place that makes your heart smile every time you come home. I really hope you can take some of my ideas and make them work in your own home! If you’d like any more information about any of the things I’ve done or the products I’ve used, please tell me in the comments.
My Protection Oil recipe:
Sweet Almond Oil, or any light oil of your choosing
A pinch of:
Elderflowers
Black pepper
Rosemary
Sea Salt
Hyssop
Sage
Crushed eggshells (optional)
A few drops of:
Sage essential oil
Pine essential oil
Add the dry ingredients to a clean, dry bottle or jar. Slowly add the carrier oil, and the essential oils. Shake the bottle well to mix, focusing on what you want the oil to do for you. Leave it on your altar to steep. You can use it straight away, but ideally leave it for a couple of weeks. You can strain the oil to remove the herbs if you wish but I like to leave them in ☺️
Use to anoint candles, tools and to protect spaces and other objects - but do NOT ingest or apply to the skin.

I would love to learn more about SIGILS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💜💜🌹🌹
We will absolutely be doing a Sigil Magic video soon! 🥰
Would love a witch’s bells video
I will add it to my list! Thank you for the suggestion! 😍
Beautiful video! All perfect examples of protection for the entrance of the home. My path to my front door is approx 50ft long, flanked on both sides by lavender paths, and rosemary at the front door. Sweet williams too as they represent my ancestors favourite flowers, and my door wreath is a white wicker heart shape with purple flowers, which I also change seasonally, with one I made for autumn with autumn leaves, acorns,pine cones etc, then one for yule. Two ancient keys hang inside my door. My home is full of depictions of stags, definitely my spirit animal. Above my door is an old iron horseshoe and my protective sigil also under the mat! I also draw sigils in oil on my windows. A green man hangs on the wall beside my front door too. My doors have recently been stripped back ready for their PURPLE PAINT!! I love the colour purple anyway so it was the natural choice for me,as most of my furnishings, planting etc are shades of purple. This video is so instructive for anyone wishing to add that layer of protection to their home. Your beautiful story about the previous owners was touching, and it's lovely to honour them. Also I am a huge advocate for manifestation as you know, so your view of manifesting what you think of is spot on! I love to see and hear what everyone does to their entrances to their sacred space! Thank you for your fabulous video, blessings to you❤
It’s my absolute pleasure, you are so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful details of your own doorway and protections, it all sounds absolutely gorgeous! I love the flowers to honour your ancestors, what a beautiful idea ♥️I am actually on the hunt for an old horseshoe as we speak! Once you start putting things in place you can’t stop, it’s almost addictive. Thank you so much for being here xxx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I will keep my eye out for an old horseshoe for you too so if I find one I will send it to you! 👍
@caroldaviddaviejohnson2225 ooh I would love that! Thank you so much! ♥️
Hi Alison, you had me near to tears when you told us the story of the elderly couple who lived in your home before you. How lovely that you can feel their warmth and protection. I also still have a landline phone in the house, not that it is used very often as it’s cheaper to use the call allowance on my mobile contract. I enjoyed watching your lovely video, especially with it covering topics that others don’t always think of. Thank you for inviting us into your home and witchy life. Blessings 🗝️🔑🏡
Bless you Ange, thank you so much. We often talk about Jack and Mavis and what they must have been like. Even though we’ve lived here for six years, some of the people living near us still refer to our house as Jack’s Bungalow. We don’t mind, we think it’s lovely. We consider it a privilege to live here. I know what you mean about the landline - ours came with our Sky contract and we never use it. On the very rare occasion that it does ring, me and Mark will look at each other in a ‘Who the hell is that??’ kind of way 😂
Thank you so much for watching. Much love to you xx
I took 3 pages of notes❣️❣️🤣🤣
I’m a great student‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh bless you darling, that’s adorable! 🥰
I was thinking of taking notes too! The only reason I didn’t was I didn’t think to have a notebook & pen handy while I was watching.🙂😂
I’ll probably re-watch & take notes (& the other videos) xx
Oh I meant to add - I love the story of the previous owners, adds a sparkle to your home. It must have great energy from so many years of love. ❤️ xx
@KarenWard-xq1li it really does, I can still feel them very clearly. I would have loved to have known them ♥️♥️
Where did you get the bee? Omg. Love it. I raise bees. 🐝 they are my spirit animal. 52 year old witch here living in the US.
I bought him from a home store called Dunelm here in the UK. I'm glad you like him! Please tell your bees I sent them my love xx
Love your door, and your ideas (we still have a landline too). Lots of food for thought; I do have witch bells, but we use our back door as our entrance, which goes straight into the kitchen, so my options are a bit more limited and the bells are at the nearest window until I get around to putting a hook up :) Couple of thoughts came to mind - the stoop at church doors filled with holy water to "cleanse" the fingers on the way in, and the Japanese genkan at the house entrance where you leave your outdoor shoes - some people go so far as to change their clothes completely or even shower when they first enter, to remove actual dirt as well as showing respect for the house and its inhabitants. Thank you for the video - it's made me think of the threshold as more than just a way indoors.
Thank you so much Denise, I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. I love that many cultures have deep respect for doorways - I've watched quite a few Japanese lifestyle vlogs and I was really interested to see what the person did when they entered their home in the evening. It really made me think! It's so much more than a door. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I recently watched some of Nami's Life videos, was amazed at how tiny her flat is, yet the entrance bit was quite spacious. My aim over the past few years has been to make our home a more sacred space, so any further videos on this would be lovely :) xx
@@denisehill7769 oh I love Nami! I love Usako Vlog as well! Their lives are the absolute opposite of mine but I find them so calming. I will definitely be doing more home magic content, it’s a passion of mine 🥰
I have been thinking all morning that I need to make, write etc to put a protection on my house. Idk why, just a fierce feeling and then your video pops up! Thank you so much for posting this! You have given me a few more ideas and I really appreciate it!
I love it when that happens! I'm so glad I've given you a few tips and I really hope you enjoy putting your protections in place. Thank you so much for watching! 💗
I've got bells everywhere on my front porch and back porch and all the doors. I'm going to add stones and plants as soon as I am able. I am a new subscriber. I will be watching all your videos!
Hi April! Welcome to my channel, it's so lovely to have you here! Thank you so much for watching my video, I really hope it gave you some tips you can use! 💗
This is a wonderful video, thank you for sharing.
I’m delighted that you enjoyed it and I hope you found it useful! Thank you so much for watching ♥️
Nope‼️. I still have a landline too‼️
All these tips were so good and beautiful. I will be using some of them along with my own. Thank You❣️❣️❣️🦋
Hey, we’re in a little Landline Coven! 🤣
I’m so glad you got some useful tips from my video- thank you so much for watching! xx
Hi Allison👋🏻Love Your Channel & The Darling Yellow Pennants on Your Bed!!! You’re Fun to Watch💛
Hi sweetie, that's so kind of you! Thank you so much for watching! 💕
Such a wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing all these practical tips and really explaining everything so well so that even a novice like me can understand! I have for as long as i can remember been very sensitive to other people's or spaces energy and believ1e that it can affect our lives and wellbeing, but have never really had any resource or situations to explore this further, I was nodding along at so many points. I am extremely lucky to live in a 350 year old house, so lots and lots of past lives and energy. When viewing the house i asked to be left alone with the house for a minute so i could listen to it, i think the estate agent thought i was a lunatic! Its a great home with a with a lovely vibe, but i did in my own little way bless each room the day we moved in with some holy water, asking any negative energy to leave and inviting positve energy in and asking the house to protect us and thanking it for being our home. Will definitely be trying some of these tips on our front door and would love to know more about sigyls and how to make them.
Oh Sarah your house sounds absolutely precious…and the idea of listening to it just makes my heart so happy. The energy in different places can affect us is so many ways. There are some places I just can’t wait to get away from because they overwhelm me, so I understand exactly how you feel. I’m so glad you found my tips helpful and I really hope you can use some of them in your lovely home. Thank you 💕
Great video, Allison....looking forward to the next!👍💖👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching 💗
Thank you, your door looks lovely. I also use a bit of blessed salt mixed with water in a spray bottle and cleanse myself and my environment this way. I also have one in my office and use it regularly. It’s a simple on the move cleansing and protection magick.
Oh I absolutely LOVE that idea!! I have some salt and water in my mini travel altar but it never occurred to me to have a little spray bottle! Absolute genius. I’m so glad you like my doorway, thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for these great tips. I am highly sensitive to energy and feel a lot so it is great to know our home is a house to come and relax. Never thought of my hallway and the frontdoor this way, but it makes a lot of sence. Took your tips and made the best of it for me in our hallway. It is a lovely place now. Even my husband felt the differents ❤ Looking forward to go and make some black salt with you next time.😘
Hey Margo, I’m so happy that you’ve been able to use some of my tips for yourself! It really makes a huge difference to how you feel when you step through your door, even if you can only put a couple of things in place. I am so glad it’s working for you and thank you so much for being here 🥰xx
I love this. I have witches bells on all my outside doors but you gave me some other ideas I am going to use
Thank you Skye, I’m really glad I’ve given you some ideas you can use. I hope you’re feeling a bit better. Sending you much love xx
I have been told by some sources that we should never place a mat with Welcome on it and I see you have Welcome on your letter box. However you have lots of protective items on your door anyway so that only those whoyou wish to welcome come through your boundary.
You’re absolutely right. It’s something I thought very hard about but as you say, I think I have more than enough protection on my home (not just on my front door but all around it, inside and out) to make it clear what’s welcome and what isn’t.
I’m just now coming to your channel, this was so deliciously good and informative. Your home is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing! Please show more on sigils🫶🏾❤️😻
Oh that's so lovely, thank you so much! I am definitely planning a Sigil Work video at some point! 😍
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406awesome, thanks for replying😻❤️🫶🏾
I've only recently heard that witches doors are supposed to be purple. I've always had a burgundy door because I love the color so much. As a kid, thanks to the movie The Witches, I was convinced that witches all had purple eyes. Maybe it stems from that?
Maybe! I never thought of that! ☺️
These are all such great front door tips! :) I have a horseshoe above mine.
I'm planning to buy a seasonal wreath and add some of my own witchy touches to it, so we'll see when I get to that! I stopped using white sage since finding out it's sacred to my country's indigenous people and is rarely sustainably sourced - but garden sage works great too
I’m so glad you enjoyed my tips! I’m on the lookout for a horseshoe as we speak! ☺️
I understand your concerns about white sage. I always buy mine from the same place in Chesterfield where I know sustainability is important. I am respectful of other cultures who see the plant as sacred although I also believe that as citizens of a global community, plants and trees are here for everyone. I mean no offence by that! I also use common sage in my workings. I hope you enjoy looking for your seasonal wreath! Thank you so much for watching ☺️xx
Way too late catching up with your videos, but finally made some time 🙂
I really enjoyed this, especially now I have my beautiful witch bells that you made. I need to add protection to my front door in particular,but I wanted the bells to hang on one of my French doors at the back so I could enjoy looking at them.
you were speaking of the purple colour - we have purple glass as part of the front door glass (& green - I call it my suffragette door!) .
You’ve inspired me to think of things I can do for our front door - our hallway doesn’t have room for a separate shelf near the door but I have coat hooks & a bench so I can definitely work with those somehow. 🙂xx
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Karen, I loved making this one! Yes you can definitely do something with the hooks - you can hang all manner of Witchy fabulousness off them! Thank you so much for watching, I can’t wait to hear what you decide to put in place 🥰
Hi Alison, I literally came across your channel by a sheer fluke today. I thought i'd give you a little watch. I really enjoyed this video on protecting our front doors. Really interesting. I'v been a Pagan for 10 years now and i love watching new people on this spiritual journey. I'm very much looking forward to seeing more videos in the coming weeks and months. I'v just subscribed.
Thank you so much Joanne! It’s lovely to have you here and I’m so glad you enjoyed my video! x
Once again, another great video. I apréciate all of your methods. However, I never add welcome to my front door, S I do not want to welcome just anything and anyone. But it felt like everything else you used was perfect to only invite positive energy into your home. Thank you once again, Celina
I'm really glad you enjoyed my video! I do understand your feelings about the 'Welcome' - but I also feel that our home is protected like a fortress, with all of the protections I have put in place (not all of them are visible and they are not all focused on the doors). Thank you so much for watching xx
Thank you so much! Will do the back door from the garage where I enter daily. Cheers love your video.
You're welcome Laura! Thank you so much for watching! 💖
I have really enjoyed learning how to protect my home.
You do inspire and you are very interesting and helpful, thank you so much 😊
You are so kind darling. I am so glad you found my tips helpful. Thank you so much for being here xx
Thank you for this. I'm very inspired to renew my home protection xx
You’re so welcome, I’m glad you found it useful! 🥰
I love your front door. I love these ideas...I don't know why I still haven't done any doorway protective/cleansing magick yet. Obsidian is glass. I like your bee knocker.
Thank you Dylan! I’m really glad you liked my ideas and I hope you can use them on your own door ♥️
Lots of lovely ideas -thank you
You're very welcome, thank you so much for watching 🥰
Lovely video, thank you Alison for sharing with us. I would love more about sigils please. Blessed Be 🤍
You’re very welcome lovely, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I am absolutely planning a Sigil magic video very soon ♥️
I was so excited when I saw you post a new video 🥰 I love all the things you’ve shown. We’ve done some similar things on our doors apart from the black salt, oil and sigil. I’ve only used Himalayan or sea salt. We both have bells on our doors. I like to hear them when someone’s come home or left I have lavender and rosemary out front as well. I have a pair of old skeleton key by my door on a mantle and crystals I want to do the black salt, oil and sigil. Thank you 🙏🏼 for another lovely and educational video Alison. I’m looking forward to the next ♥️💕🪄✨🦋
Hi Vanessa, it's so lovely to see you again. I hope you are doing OK ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Sending you so much love xx
Hi ya, just found your channel, i love it! the shop tour you did was fantastic. Ive just subscribed thanks so much xxx
Hello my lovely! It’s so good to have you here. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for subscribing 💕
some great ideas here. I have got neighbours in my apartment block who are energy vampires, so I will be using some of your ideas on the front door !
Oh I really hope they help! ♥️
Thank you so much for your videos. You always do something that inspires me.
That is so lovely to hear Ruby, thank you so much. I am so glad you are here! ♥️
Wow this is fantastic and you went into so much detail you have inspired me to do something with my front door too. Thank you so much. Can I ask when will you be doing the Magickal shop tour in Chesterfield please . Looking forward to the next video have a magical week. M.😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I really hope you can use some of my tips for yourself! I’m not sure when I will do the Curious Goods tour yet - I work full-time so the only chance I get to film is on the weekends but I am usually busy with other things too! But don’t worry, I promise it will happen and I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s time ☺️xx
I’ve just come to your channel, I’ve loved this episode and will now go back to your 1st one onwards. I’m going to learn so much from you as I am new to the craft, thank you so much ❤
Oh bless you, that’s so lovely. I’m still fairly new to all this - my very early videos are a bit shonky - but I really hope you enjoy my channel. Thank you so much for being here and for your kind words xx
Such a helpful video! Loved you walking through your front door setup. Definitely inspirational!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and I hope you find it helpful! xx
I'm really enjoying your videos,I find them so interesting and informative and love how you cover so many important protection rituals , thank you for sharing with us, blessed be 🌹
Well I am so happy that you are finding my videos helpful Tracey! It’s so kind of you to say so and I really appreciate it ♥️
Wonderful video, many thanks 🙏🏻 New subscriber from Australia 🌹

Thank you for the video ❤ love your scarf
You’re very welcome - and thank you! 🦊 xx
great video!
Thank you! xx
Thank you so much. This was really helpful. A lovely video with so many tips. 💕
You’re welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Loved this so much 😊♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm so glad sweetie, thank you so much for watching 😍
Love this video, thank you 😊
You are welcome, thank you so much for watching 🥰
That was really interesting and inspirational, Alison. Thank you very much.
I'll try to find your Black Salt video... And also how to make a Witch's Ladder... 👍
Thank you for this Lovely Video.
Love, Mel in Devon 🍰🌻
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Mel! I haven't made a video about Witches' Ladders yet but they are very easy to make xx
Interesting and fun video. I have the little house blessing jar from you near my front door - it makes me feel good. I may experiment with the lavender water another time.
Thank you lovely, I’m so glad your jar is doing its job! ♥️
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 yes it is. X
@ladybooksmith3347 that’s made me really happy ☺️
What a great idea for a video. Great to see so many ideas put together in one place and shown so clearly. One thing I wanted to ask - are you okay with ‘welcome’ on your letter box? Thanks for the video, I’ve just subscribed and look forward to seeing more! Elspeth.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's funny you should ask about the 'Welcome.' It was something I thought long and hard about, because I didn't want to give a free pass to anything that wanted to come through the door. But I feel that the boundaries I have set are firm enough to keep out anything that has no business crossing our threshold (I have also set a boundary along the pathway that approaches our door). Plus, the black Pentacle sits directly above it so I think we are covered. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing - it means so much to me 🥰
Thank you for sharing these magickal home protection charms and ideas of how to do it. Can these be done for a back door too ? Blessed be.
You’re very welcome! Yes of course you can use any of these ideas on any of the doorways into your home! Many blessings to you too 🥰
Hey!loved this video,surprised how much we do we have in common!ive been using sigels since the starting the craft about a year ago,I also have had a fascination with hag stones from childhood (without knowing what they were until quite recently!) looking forward to the black salt video,it’s on my list to make ,thank you for being you!❤️
Hi Sweetie! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video. Hag stones are brilliant aren’t they? I mean how many years must they take to form? Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for watching and I will see you next week! 🥰
I loved this video and your ideas and suggestions! Unfortunately , since I live in a block of flats, the doors must be all the same without any sort of decoration. Can I do something inside? As to the plants, like rosemary etc they wouldn’t survive in the dark landing… What can you suggest? Hope to see your video about black salt and sigil making !
Ps: I love your door! ❤
Hi Antonella! I understand your issues. You could hang bunches of dried lavender and rosemary on the inside of the door. And you could draw protective Sigils with protection oil on your door (I’ve given my recipe in the video description). You could also hang bells on the inside of your door. I really hope these tips help!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words 🥰
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Your tips are great and I will follow them. I will make your protection oil . Thank you for your prompt and kind reply . Have a lovely evening ! ❤️
@antonella8221 you too sweetie, thank you so much 🥰
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 🥰
Great vlog I’m from Derbyshire 😊x
Thanks for another great video! I have no idea either where the "witches have purple doors" came from. My door isn't purple and I'm as witchy as they come. 🤷♀️
You’re very welcome Karen! I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️
In wiccan tradition purple doors offer protection to your sacred space, also a purple door used to be a way for witches to recognise each other. Purple is also seen as a very spiritual colour, it is used to represent the crown chakra, all seeing, and spiritual knowledge. A mish mash of many ancient traditions carried through the centuries to where we have no clear starting point to where having a purple door first originated. 👍
@@caroldaviddaviejohnson2225 I know the significance of the color purple and it's uses, I've just only heard about the purple doors in recent years. I don't follow a Wiccan path so that may have something to do with it. I grew up in a "witchey" family and am nearly 50 yrs old. I honestly thought the purple doors were a new thing. Perhaps it's the area of the US that I live in, you have to be VERY careful about displaying that you're a witch in this area.
@@KarenBrusina ah me too! I'm 60 now and also a witchey family, my granny was a witch, as are some of my daughters. I can imagine that in some areas in US being a witch would be utterly frowned upon, so I can see why you would have to be very careful. You're in good company here on Alisons channel, and lovely to talk with you! Sending you blessings.
@@caroldaviddaviejohnson2225 Blessings to you as well! There are a number of witches in my area, we just have to "fly under the radar", if you follow my meaning. I have always felt a tremendous connection to the UK, my mother's side of the family come from there. (England, Scotland, and Wales). It's really wonderful getting acquainted with fellow witches from "across the pond". 😃
Would you recommend using organic ingredients such as the oils and herbs in the Protection Oil recipe?
@@julieb5960 hi Julie! I would recommend using whatever oils or herbs you feel called to use, or whatever you have on hand! My oil is my own recipe but you might feel drawn to use other ingredients and that’s fine ☺️
Purple is one of my favorite colors (pink being the other) & as much as I would love a purple front door, my landlord would have a massive fit! 😂
Oh dear, I can imagine!! 🤣🤣💜💜xx
What a beautiful video, just subscribed to your channel and have been loving everything 💛
Ahh thank you so much for your lovely words and for subscribing! You are very welcome here and I hope I continue to make videos you enjoy 🥰xx
Thank you for sharing this great information, a nearby here from a Yorkshire Lass x
Ahh, hello from one Yorkshire lass to another! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video ☺️xx
I really love your scarf xx
Ahh thank you! xx
I love these ideas! Great video.
Brilliant, I really hope you can use some of them! Thank you for watching! 🥰
I use black salt inside but I use crushed eggshells with herbs to use outside as salt is harmful to animals and snails slugs and frogs etc ❤
That’s a fantastic idea, and also why I only use the barest sprinkle - hardly even visible, and it will be blown or washed away very quickly ❤️
Brilliant video , can’t wait to see how to make black salt xxx thank you Alison 💕💕
You’re welcome Colette, thank you so much for watching! I can’t wait make the Black Salt for you, I love making a mess! 😂
See you next week xx
