A House Cleansing

 

1) Thoroughly physically clean the house....

2) Wash walls down with a solution containing Full Moon charged fresh water,

a clear crystal, and one or more of the following herbs: lavendar,

frankincense, myrrh, lemon balm. You can also add Lysol to the water (to

actually clean the walls), but stay away from salt (it can damage painted

surfaces).

3) Wash all wood/linoleum floors down with the same solution (though you can

add salt if washing linoleum floors)

4) On carpets, asperge the solution (minus salt) with a bundle of twigs,

grasses, feathers, etc. Vacuum afterwards and throw away the vacuum bag (in

a garbage receptacle away from the house!)

5) Smudge interior of house with sage or frankincense -- be sure to get smoke

into corners, behind doors, under furniture, up chimneys, and in all dark

places.

6) Protect entrance points by laying a line of salt outside along all door

thresholds, window ledges, etc. Throw salt into fireplaces.

7) If negative spirits are a problem, asperge interior of house with rosemary

steeped in ocean water (if ocean water is not available, make a strong saline

solution using sea salt and fresh water -- avoid using tap water, unless you

have a well). Sweep out house (or vacuum), taking care to sweep away outside

away from entrance doors and high foot-traffic areas.

It is important that while you are in the process of doing this cleansing and

blessing that you not be disturbed and that your focus remain on removing all

negativity from your home.

I also have protective amulets scattered around my house, and I smudge with

sage any time the energy inside doesn't "feel" right.
