Casting spell frequency

I am curious about something. If you cast a protection spell on an item, how long is it good for? The life of the item, or do you need to re-do the spell every so often to keep it powerful?

It should keep whatever enchantment you put on it and remain active as long as you keep the talisman on you by drawing from your energy. Re-enchant the item if you intuitively feel it is no longer meeting its intended purpose, even if this only serves to strengthen your belief in it.

Thanks for the reply. :)

I wasn't sure, so I did it again. :)

I do my protective spells around my home, every three days. I redo the salt lines and I cleanse and charge the stones. I am very happy with the safety of my home. I know this seems like a very short time, but it works for me.

So, based on the replies I have received here, I should be doing it about once a week? I did a protection spell on my pentacle necklace, but only once. If I should be doing it more often, I will.

Well it probably depends on how much work it has to do, and how strong your spell casting is. If you're constantly being directly attacked I'd say that your protection charm would need to be reinforced all the time, maybe even every day, but if you're preventing general harm, probably once a month at the full moon would be enough. But redo your spell whenever you feel like you're less protected than you were

Because my work environment is very negative I use a couple of different protections depending on what I am needing that day. Because what I use absorbs the negative energy I recharge them or cleanse them depending on the item at least weekly. I initially saged and salted my house weekly for about a month but now I usually only do it every 4-6 weeks. Depending on if I feel there is negativity pushing at the barriers.

Thank you very much for the replies. Someone told me once was enough, but I had a gut feeling they were wrong. I just did it, so I should be good for a little while. I'll probably take your suggestion and do it on every full moon.

It depends on the spell, I cast a protection spell on my necklace every full moon. While I've heard tales of spells lasting lifetimes, I think the max is a year. As you get better with sensing energy you should be able to gauge how strong/weak the energy is.

I'm really glad I asked. I'm gonna start doing it at every full moon. Thank you again for all the replies.
