For what better purpose could magic be made than to bless a move to a new home? Before the spell is cast (and before you consecrate the area you are going to set aside in which to do your magic), sweep each room thoroughly with a birch broom. (Vacuuming might be easier, but even the most powerful Dyson, magical though it is in its own way, doesn’t have the same effect!)
Sweep clockwise into the centre, imagining as you work that it’s not just dust that you are sweeping up. Unseen psychic remains left over by previous owners are also swept away. When you
have finished, put all the sweepings into a large paper bag and either burn them in the garden or scatter them in the wind.
This spell should only be cast on a Sunday, and it is best to start before noon and finish after the clock has passed twelve. The spell can be done when the moon is waning, but it is not as powerful as it is when cast during a waxing moon. You don’t have to cast a circle to do this spell, as you will be working around the house.
You will need:
-
- Sea salt
- A small bowl
- Rose geranium essential oil
- An aromatherapy burner
- A white candle
- Spring water
- A few grains of rice (organically grown if possible)
- A 15 cm (6 in) square of golden fabric
Consecrate an area in which you can bless all the ingredients. Starting in the room at the top of the house (or the room immediately to the right of the front door in a flat), sprinkle a pinch of salt in each corner and on all corners of each window and door. As you sprinkle the salt, say:
“Please remove negative and unnecessary forces from this space,
And make this room a special place.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.”
Moving clockwise from room to room, repeat the ritual until the salt has purified the whole house. That done, light the candle and holding it in one hand and the rose geranium oil in the other, proceed from room to room in the same order as before. Put the candle in the centre of each room and anoint all doors and windows with a bit of oil.
As you do this, say:
“Please bless this home to which we move
And fill the hearts that enter it with love.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.”
That done, set the candle in the middle of the living room. Fill the aromatherapy burner with spring water, light it, and add six drops of the rose geranium oil to the water. Sit in focus, visualizing the fragrance banishing negativity and replacing it with love. When the candle has almost burned down, extinguish it with a snuffer or between your thumb and index finger. Anoint the stump with more rose geranium oil, working away from you, and sprinkle some rice on it before wrapping it in the gold cloth. Place it as close to the front door as possible, maybe under the doormat if you have one.
As you do so, say:
“May all who pass through this door be blessed.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.”
