Travel soothes our soul and stirs our senses. The new food, smells, culture and scenery uplifts our spirits, broadens our perspective and can enhance our spiritual practice.
However (not to be a Negative Nancy) travel doesn’t come without its stress. You may feel anxious about flying, keeping your luggage protected, staying safe during car journeys, and in your new destination. You may simply want to make your trip the best possible. Or, maybe you desperately wish to travel but don’t have the opportunity…
There are many people who feel a little vulnerable during their travel experiences. And that’s why I’ve written this little treasure chest of travel spells, charms and blessings to assist you in all areas of travel. I hope you enjoy …
In this article you’ll find a complete kit of travel spells and charms – from attracting travel into your life, to keeping yourself safe on the road, in the air, and wherever you rest your head.

Let’s start our journey with a spell to attract travel into our life!
A Simple Feather Spell For Attracting Travel Into Your Life
Ingredients for the Travel Attracting Spell:
- 1 x Small Fan (non battery operated)
- 1 x Small light feather.
- 1 x Dried mint (which can be boosted with some peppermint essential oil)
- 1 x Small dish
Performing the Travel Attracting Spell
- Place the mint into the dish (add the essential oil if desired)
- Lean over the bowl of mint and inhale the scent.
- Whilst inhaling visualise the magic of travelling, the scents, scenery, experiences that you desire.
- Toss the feather into the air (you can infuse it with the mint if desired).
- Use the fan to keep the feather airborne.
- Imagine the feather is you moving to different places in the world.
- Allow the feather to rest in the mint.
- Take a few more breaths of minty aroma.
- Each day, for as long as you feel you need to, inhale the scent of the mint, and visualise your travels.
Why This Spell Works
Mint is associated with travel, movement and new beginnings – its fresh, clarifying scent opens pathways and stimulates the flow of energy in a new direction. The feather represents air, freedom and the ability to move lightly through the world, and keeping it airborne mirrors the energy you’re calling in – movement, possibility, things lifting rather than staying stuck.
Now that we’ve attracted the travel, I’ll give you some of my best tips on how to travel safely. Let’s start with a simple yet powerful safe travel charm.
Safe Travel Charm Bag Spell
Ingredients for Safe Travel Charm
- 1 x pouch
- 2 x spell candles *preferably small like these chime candles you can burn them all the way down*
- Amethyst and Crystal Quartz Stones
- Dried mint
- Piece of paper and a pen (with black ink preferably)
Creating Your Safe Travel Charm
- Light your candles, and place them in front of you.
- As the candles burn, visualise your intentions for safe travel.
- When the candles have burned down move onto step 4.
- Draw a symbol or representation of protection that means something to you on a piece of paper. If you don’t know what to use, a pentagram is always a great choice.
- Fold the paper three times and place into the pouch.
- Add to the pouch the stones and herbs.
- Seal the bag.
- Visualise a white light flowing through you and filling your aura, as you imagine yourself arriving at your destination safely.
- Take your pouch with you, using the white light visualisation to enhance it whenever you can.
Why This Charm Works
A charm bag works by combining ingredients that share the same energy – a team where everyone has a specific job. Amethyst is one of the most popular stones for protecting from negative energy. Crystal quartz amplifies. Mint is a travel herb, giving smooth movement and safe passage. The protective symbol you draw anchors your intention, and folding it three times is a traditional way of sealing a spell – locking the intention in. Burning the candles charges the space and your own energy first, so by the time everything goes into the pouch it’s already held in that protective field.
Next, let me share a charm for protecting your luggage and belongings during flights and trips.
A Blessing Charm for Your Luggage and Belongings
Do this before you leave.
Florida Water is the best for this – it’s a cologne water used in cleansing and protection work. If you can’t get hold of it, make a simple blessing oil by combining a carrier oil (sweet almond or jojoba work well) with a few drops of frankincense for protection, mint for safe travel, and a drop of lavender for calm energy.
What you need for the luggage blessing:
- Florida Water or your homemade blessing oil
- Your luggage, packed and ready to go
The luggage safety blessing:
Shake or warm the Florida Water or oil in your hands and take a moment to ground yourself. Close your eyes and see your luggage surrounded by a bright white or golden bubble of protective light – sealed, impenetrable, everything inside safe and exactly where it should be.
When you feel that image is solid, open your eyes and use your finger to draw a pentagram on each bag – on the front, where you can see it. As you draw it, say quietly or in your head:
“Protected, sealed, and safe from harm – travel well and return to my arms.”
That’s it. Simple, quick, and you can refresh it at any point during your trip by visualising the bubble again.
Why This Blessing Works
Florida Water clears negative energy from objects and spaces, and is glorious for blessing anything you want to keep safe. Visualising your luggage in a protective bubble directs your intention clearly and purposefully, and drawing the pentagram seals it.
Next, let’s move onto a spell for when you’re travelling by road…
A Spell for Safe Road Trips
There is something magical about a road trip – the open road stretching ahead, the landscape shifting around you, the freedom that comes with it. But long drives bring their own anxieties – fatigue, unpredictable weather, other drivers who perhaps didn’t pause to consider the importance of safe travel before setting off.
Before you pull out of the driveway, take a moment for this simple blessing.
All you need for this simple spell is a small piece of black tourmaline or obsidian – protection stones both..
Sit quietly for a moment before you get in the car. Hold the stone in both hands and visualise your entire journey as a smooth, easy flow. See yourself arriving at your destination safely, your car moving easily through the miles, everything unfolding without drama.
Say, aloud if you can:
“The road ahead is clear and bright, I travel safely, day and night.”
Put the stone in your cupholder or on the dashboard where you can see it. For an extra boost, tuck a bay leaf under the driver’s seat if you have one.
If you’re travelling with others, you can hold the stone and set the intention for everyone in the car – protection doesn’t have to be a solo affair.
A Simple Hotel Room Cleansing Ritual
Hotel rooms. Convenient, yes. Energetically clean? Rarely.
Think about how many people have passed through that space – their worries, their arguments, their restless nights. Energy lingers in spaces long after the people who created it have checked out, and sensitive souls will often feel it the moment they walk through the door. A heavy atmosphere, difficulty sleeping, a vague sense of unease you can’t quite place. Sound familiar?
But, a quick cleansing ritual before you unpack takes only a few minutes and makes a world of difference. I love this ritual because it’s so convenient and easy, and you can use it wherever you are – not just hotel rooms!
What you need:
- A small spray bottle filled with water and sea salt – about a teaspoon or so
- Optional: a few drops of banishing oil added to the spray
- A small piece of amethyst or black tourmaline for the bedside table
The hotel room cleansing and banishing ritual
Starting at the door and moving clockwise around the room, spray each corner of the room with your salt water mixture. As you spray, say either aloud or quietly to yourself:
“Cleanse and clear, cleanse and clear, banish any energy that shouldn’t be here.”
Spray every corner of the room – don’t forget the bathroom. Keep your intention clear and focused as you go: you’re getting rid of whatever was left behind and claiming this space as yours for the duration of your stay.
When you’re done, stand in the center of the room and take a few slow breaths. Visualise a warm golden light expanding outward from you, filling every corner.
Why This Works
Salt absorbs and neutralises negative energy, which is exactly what you want in a space that’s seen a hundred strangers. Water carries and directs intention, and together they make an easy and portable cleansing tool. Spraying the corners is important since energy collects in corners and edges. This is by far one of my favorite banishing rituals because it’s so easy!
A Spell for Flying – For the Anxious, the Fearful, and the Simply Cautious
Flying can be stressful. The lack of control, the altitude, the recycled air and the slightly too-cheerful cabin crew. If you have a full-blown fear of flying, or if you just want to make sure to have a safe journey, this little working will help.
What you need:
- Your boarding pass
- A pen
- One piece of amethyst – a small tumblestone is perfect, something that fits easily in your pocket or bra
The ritual:
Before you board, find a quiet corner of the airport (if you have to resort to the bathroom, no judgement, I’ve been there!).
Look at your boarding pass and in a small, discreet corner draw the Algiz rune. It looks like the letter Y with an extended stem – like this:
Algiz is the rune of the shield – one of the oldest and most powerful protective symbols in Norse tradition. Drawing it on your boarding pass ties that protection directly to your journey.
Put your amethyst on top of the rune. Close your eyes and take three slow breaths. Visualise yourself surrounded by a clear protective shield – solid, calm, impenetrable. See the plane taking off smoothly, the flight passing without drama, and see yourself stepping off at the other end feeling fine.
When you feel that image is steady, say quietly to yourself:
“I am protected, I am calm, I travel safely, free from harm.”
Put the amethyst into your pocket, your bra, or anywhere it can stay close to your body throughout the flight.
During the flight:
If anxiety starts to creep in (it might, that’s ok) – put the amethyst in your hand and visualize the Algiz rune. A shield. Protection. You are held. Breathe. You’ve already done the working. Trust it.
If anxiety is a regular occurence, have a look at our spells to help anxiety. These should be done in conjunction with any professional help you can receive – you don’t need to fight it alone <3
Why This Works
Algiz is a rune of protection and shielding – it creates an energetic barrier around you and whatever could cause harm. Amethyst is a anxiety soother as well as a protective stone. The visualisation during the flight connects you back to the energy of the ritual when anxiety spikes, strengthening the protection. (To learn more about runes, here is an article about rune magick).
Create Your Own Safe Travel Spell
Why not create your own travel spell, fast track yourself by copying some of the techniques above, create your own, add your own ingredients, to create a spell that suits you. Why not give it a whirl it’s fun, and very empowering!
Here’s an example of some of the best herbs, candle colours, and crystals that can help get you started.
Remember – it’s the intention that always delivers the best spells, so make sure your intention is clear, honest, kind and not aimed at another person directly and you won’t go wrong.
The following herbs are great for travel spells, along with their essential oils.
- Bay Leaves = Protection
- Borage = Courage
- Chrysanthemum = Protection & Cheerfulness
- Irish Moss = Money, Luck & Protection
Candles that would benefit good travel
- Orange = Attraction, Stimulation, Experiences
- Green = Money and Luck
- White = Cleansing and pure
- Gold = Protection, success
Stones to include:
- Amethyst = A wonderful protector
- Obsidian = Protective, removes negativity.
- Ruby = A sense of adventure, and is healing to the earth!
So here’s to you and your magical travels. I hope you travel safely, far and wide, and that you open your heart and senses – so that you can enjoy the most amazing world that we live in, in all of its diverse glory.
Safe Travels to you, my friend.
