Feeling cursed or like everything’s going wrong? Whether you're superstitious or just in a rough patch, there are powerful ways to shake off bad luck and invite good energy into your life. From ancient rituals to spiritual cleansing, here are 11 tried-and-true methods to cleanse bad vibes and attract good fortune—based on expert insights and time-tested traditions.
1. Throw Salt Over Your Left Shoulder
Salt is a universal symbol of protection. Toss a pinch over your left shoulder to block bad vibes. You can also soak in a saltwater bath (2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in warm water) or sprinkle sea salt in the corners of your home to cleanse stagnant energy.
2. Don’t Trash Broken Mirrors—Cleanse Them
If you break a mirror, don’t toss it out. Either grind the shards into dust and scatter it to the wind, or wrap a reflective piece in black cloth and bury it on the next full moon. This symbolic ritual releases negative energy and protects you from the classic “7 years of bad luck.”
3. Burn Odd Numbers of Incense
Scents like sandalwood or jasmine are said to banish bad energy. Always burn an odd number of incense sticks (like 1 or 3), and walk the smoke through every corner of your home or workspace. Be sure to ventilate the area—experts recommend pure, natural incense to avoid lung irritation.
4. Carry Lucky Charms or Protective Symbols
Keep good vibes close by wearing or carrying protective talismans. Popular options include:
-
Rabbit’s foot (left hind only)
-
Four-leaf clover (wealth, love, fame, health)
-
Horseshoe (ends up to trap luck)
-
Keys (wealth, love, health trifecta)
-
The number 7 and color green (classic good-luck symbols across cultures)
5. Cleanse Your Space with Smoke
Use palo santo, bay leaves, or copal to purify your home. Light the herb, let it smolder, and walk through your space while waving the smoke outward. Always open windows to let the negative energy leave and fresh energy in.
❗Avoid burning white sage unless you're part of Indigenous traditions, as it's sacred and culturally specific.
6. Use Crystals to Protect Your Energy
Certain crystals are believed to shield you from bad luck and boost positivity:
-
Black tourmaline: Blocks negativity
-
Amethyst: Guards travelers
-
Labradorite: Protects emotional energy
-
Rose quartz: Attracts love and inner peace
Carry them, wear them, or keep them in your home or office.
7. Do a Good Deed to Shift Your Karma
One of the fastest ways to attract good luck is to create it. Volunteer, donate, or help someone in need—without expecting anything in return. Positive energy multiplies, and genuine kindness often brings unexpected blessings.
8. Cleanse Your Chakras with Flowers
Use seven different flowers (avoid white) to align your chakras and banish negativity:
-
Soak the blooms in sunlight for 1 hour
-
Use the flower water to bathe and visualize bright energy flooding your body
-
Dispose of the flowers afterward, imagining your bad luck being thrown away with them
Focus on your breath and “push” the negativity out from your body.
9. Pray or Meditate with Gratitude
Daily prayer helps shift your energy. Focus on gratitude—thank the universe (or your higher power) for the blessings you already have. Spiritual alignment can bring peace, perspective, and renewed luck.
10. Declutter to Unblock Energy
Clutter blocks energy flow. Clean and rearrange your space to make room for new, lucky opportunities. Let natural light in, burn incense, and play uplifting music while you declutter to refresh your home’s energy.
11. Use Light to Chase Away Bad Luck
Turn on every light in your house, burn white candles, or hang white string lights in your doorway. For a quick luck shift, try this candle ritual:
-
Light 2 white candles (protection and cleansing)
-
Light 1 orange candle (luck and transformation)
Light banishes darkness—both literal and spiritual.
Final Words
Bad luck isn’t always random—it’s often tied to energy, perspective, and environment. With these rituals and mindset shifts, you can release negativity and welcome brighter, luckier days ahead. Whether it’s salt, crystals, good deeds, or light, your luck is something you can shift—starting now.

I started playing lottery games 3 years ago and I have never won big sums. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about dr Herry who has help different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted DrHERRY, who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through whatsapp +12023654871on through email address Drherry189@gmail.com
Imagine becoming vastly wealthy overnight. Being a winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery is certainly a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Laura Benson from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m) in 2017. I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Dr Isa, and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, I also want to encourage all those who need help to try their luck with Dr. Isa, who helped me win the lottery. I believe you’re still going to win with his help, too, just like he did for me. WhatsApp: +2347046030096 Email: drisaspellcaster@gmail.com Website: https://drisaspellcaster.wixsite.com/dr-isa
I honestly didn’t believe in love spells at first, but desperation pushed me to try when my girlfriend and I broke up. I came across Priest Ade through a recommendation, and from the very first conversation, he was calm, respectful, and genuinely interested in understanding my situation. He didn’t make unrealistic promises; he simply told me to be patient and stay positive.After the love spell was done, I noticed small changes. Communication slowly reopened, the tension between us reduced, and within a short time my girlfriend reached out on her own. We talked honestly, cleared misunderstandings, and eventually got back together with a much stronger connection than before.What stood out to me the most was that everything felt natural—there was no force, no manipulation, just a return of love, understanding, and emotional balance. Whether you believe in spiritual work or not, I can say from my personal experience that Priest Ade helped restore my relationship when I had almost given up.I’m truly grateful, and I recommend Priest Ade to anyone who is seeking help with love, reconciliation, or emotional healing especially if you want results that feel real and respectful you can contact him below.
