Cleansing Your House

.
Use this spell if you feel that your house needs cleansing from bad energies/spirits or if you have just moved into a house and feel that it needs purifying. Take a candle and stand in the Fire point of you house (North in the Southern Hemisphere and South in the Southern Hemisphere) and light it. Walk around your house in a “widdershins” direction (Anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and Clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere). Shining the light all over your house (into every cupboard & corner too). As you walk, say:

“Fire burning pure and bright,
Attack negativity with your light.”

When you have finished extinguish the candle and take a censer of incense (or an oil vaporiser), Walk around your house like you did for the Candle, making sure the incense smoke reaches all over your house (into every cupboard and corner too. As you walk, say:

“Air smudge and blow away,
These bad energies will not stay.”

When you have finished, Take a bowl of water and starting in Western point of your house, walk around every room sprinkling a little bit all over your house (into every cupboard and corner too. As you walk, say:

“Water Wash over this place,
Cleansing waves in this space.”

When you have finished take a bowl of Salt, and starting in the Earth point of your house, walk around the house sprinkling salt all over your house (into every cupboard and corner too. As you walk, say:

“Earth, fertile, that brings life,
Protect this house from future strife”

When you have finished visualise a purifying and protecting white light surrounding your house. Dispose of all the left over salt/incense etc. and give your house a thorough cleaning inside and out to remove any last traces. Place the candle in a candle holder, visualise yourself surrounded by protective white light, and the negativity burning away in the candle flame. Say:

“This is bane, this is strife,
This is all the bad in life.
As I watch this candle burn
Negative energy will not return”

Burn until the candle has completely gone. Repeat as necessary.
