Whether you just wish to get rid of a mild feeling of unease in your home or have moved into a new dwelling, it's always a good idea to do a clearing or cleansing of the place you'll be inhabiting. Whether it's a brand new space or has been around for dozens of years, there are always wisps of negativity that can be removed. Here is an extremely simple method to do just that to bring harmony and tranquility into your life.
When cleansing a dwelling place, first burn a good cleansing incense, like frankincense or sandalwood in the home while preparing for the rest of the ritual. You should have in addition to the incense, a candle, a bowl of salt water and a bowl of herbs. You might use rose buds for love, lavender for preservation, rosemary for protection, and any other sweet smelling ones that appeal to you personally. If you can get them home grown, so much the better.
You should proceed around the house, widdershins (counter clockwise) and cleanse the area with the salt water. Be sure to get each corner, window, door, drain, etc. Simply sprinkle a little salt water on each and ask that any evil or disruptive influences leave the place. When this is finished, proceed around the house deosil (clockwise) sprinkling the blessing herbs and invoke whatever deities or properties you wish on the home, such as peace prosperity, tranquility, etc.
Traditionally you can use 3 candles in a central location in the house: Blue, symbolizing tranquility, green for healing and prosperity, and purple for protection. Others might be pink for love, or brown for hearth and home. You and anyone who is to share the home with you should share food and drink when done, and don't forget to leave a little of the food and drink to take outside and return to the Earth for that which has been given.
Using the Moon to good purpose requires that you be aware of it's phase:
DURING THE WAXING MOON
All rituals of a constructive nature should be performed when the moon is bright, that is, waxing to full. These would include healing, work designed to bring luck or success, fertility rites and charms, protection, counter or reversing work, and divination.
DURING THE WANING MOON
All rituals of a banishing nature should be performed when the moon is dark, that is waning to new. These would include banishment of negativity, binding, certain works of contacting departed spirits, and agricultural rituals designed to ward off pests and disease.
