TO CLEANSE A HOME FROM NEGATIVE ENERGY

These are especially good measures to take when moving into a new place, beginning

ritual activities in a new space, or to release bad feelings when an inhabitant has been sick or has died.

To cleanse a single room - on top of a newspaper, set a blue candle. Surround with a circle of salt.

Burn a little sage in the room. Light the candle, making sure it won't tip over.

Close the door and let the candle burn down.

When finished, take newspaper, salt, and candle leaving and bury far from your home.

To cleanse a house - select four corners. set four candles: north - black, east - white, south -

purple or dark red, west - blue.

Sprinkle a little salt at each doorway and window. Burn sage in each room, paying special

attention to windows and doors. Strew fragrant herbs (rosemary, basil, lavender, others

you like or consult a reference) and sweep them up with the salt.

Cast the swept herbs out your front door. You may want to sweep them off your porch so they

aren't on your property anymore.
