Enchantments against harm
Protective spells are magical incantations or rituals believed to shield against harm, evil, or misfortune.
The term appears in fantasy fiction, video games, and discussions of folk magic or witchcraft traditions.
A character might cast a protective spell around the house or wear an amulet inscribed with protective spells.
The concept spans cultures—from ancient wards against demons to modern Wiccan practices.
