In our tradition, we use these Talisman to protect from chinese jumping Vampires. You simply stick 'em to their foreheads and they'll stop.. If the papers aren't sticky enough, you can always use your boogers. So, it's also easy to use. And then you control those hopping Vampires with your Hand bell ding - 🔔 |

| Play Watchmen Director's Cut and by the third hour, if you aren't asleep the evil spirit will be. This may require a Monster Energy Drink for the purpose of alertness. Take the evil spirit and place it outside, taking care not to invite it back in. Nobody makes it to the end of Watchmen w/ deleted scenes, so make sure not to try yourself or you will surely perish. |
| Idk about the evil spirits, but negative energy defined by the outcome of a thermochemical reaction means that energy was consumed in the process (endothermic). Humans are always consuming energy, which would be a negative value, so just consume as little energy as possible. If you want to have a positive value, then you should try to release energy instead, like with arson, or maybe by exercising (your body will release heat i.e. energy). Another good way to obtain a positive energy value is by being a good person. If you are a bad person, then you will go to hell, which means that all your energy will be consumed by hell, so, obviously, the opposite of that, being good, must give off a positive value. |

| @katsucats that's the point lmao its satire |
| Try looking into spiritual cleansing via the egg rub also known as La Barrida de Huevo. I have had this ritual done on myself whenever I sense bad energy coming my way. The process involves rubbing an egg around the entire body and then cracking it and pouring it into a glass of water. You can make a read on what type of bad energy you are getting by looking at how the egg white is distributed. You are then cleansed of that said energy or you may need further help. Depends on how severe it is. |
| you sound poor |
| Practice mindful living. Helped me a lot at least. |
| Wear a tinfoil hat, just ask an expert from your house where the tinfoil is and go make one. Is very good against the radio waves emited by the american government to mind control the population too. |

If you're looking for spiritual people then you've come to the wrong place. We've abandoned any semblance of hope a long time ago. The only God we worship is our waifu. Negative energy you say? We are the negative energy! Join us or fear us but the only thing you can't do is get rid of us. |

| Good. It's hard to tell on MAL. I swear a lot of people are really that stupid. |

| Not sure I could make a recommendation. I just know some things. The hamsa exists in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity in the Mid East and North Africa. It also appears in Buddhism, and I think Hinduism. It was earliest known use was in Mesopotamia. This sometimes is depicted with the evil eye in the palm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa The evil eye is one of the most universal symbols of protection because some varient of a protective eye shows up in so many cultures. Most often the iris is blue. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180216-the-strange-power-of-the-evil-eye Smudging originated in Native American cultures however I also heard of it in Aboriginal Australian culture as well. There are various herbs used. Some people prefer to just use essential oil diffusers instead to avoid the smoke but of course this isn't so traditional. Salt is used for purification in Buddhism and Shintoism. I could see it making a mess though. Back in ancient Japan hemp was used by Shinto preists for purification and keeping evil spirits away. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/04/19/lifestyle/cannabis-the-fiber-of-japan/ There are many Buddhist and Hindu mantras to drive away bad energy or spirits just as there are various Christian (especially Catholic), Muslim and Jewish prayers for it. There are many more but that's to name a few things. |

Is there any protection against evil spirits and negative energy you'd recommend? What exactly is negative energy? I'd like some proper definitions, really try going into detail.

| I don't think spirits are evil in themselves, though tbh I've never really liked 'em. Now the important thing is not to drink them when your in a bad mood or else your bound to cause some negative energy. |
deg said: I think I read somewhere, forgot where, that people sometimes feel an "evil energy" when they hear background levels of between 12-13Hz, which is basically sub-audible bass -- that air/wind feeling you sometimes get during heavy bass scenes in movies. Out and about, trains sometimes produce this effect.>negative energy the closest thing to energy feeling is this Some People Can Sense Magnetic Fields https://futurism.com/some-humans-detect-earths-magnetism My personal theory is that maybe historically this frequency is related to earthquakes or volcanoes or some other natural disaster that produces low rumbling, and our spidey sense tell us to get the fuck out of the area ASAP. But that's just conjecture and I have no idea what it really is. |

Sayakadark said: Evil spirits target those who are connected to the Holy Spirit. If evil spirits are not targeting a person, it's a clear indication that they are not a threat to those spirits. My advice would be to ask Jesus into your heart, and continue to ask God for the provision and strength to stand against all evils. If you are being haunted by evil spirits or even tormented by evil spirits, it's a good sign, even though it may feel dark and evil to you. I'm Jewish so I constantly do all those things except for the Jesus part, all he is in my religion is one of the many prophets. |

I think salt is only placed after if it's done together. Also you mentioning salt on the door reminded me of some lore about brooms.

It's called an ojo de dios / God's eye. You use two equal length sticks (toothpicks, pencils, popcicle sticks, rulers, yard sticks) and thread or yarn and tie it together in a cross and weave it into a triangular eye shape. Basically same concept as the evil eye. https://m.wikihow.com/Make-an-Eye-of-God Also there is red string tied to the wrist.
