Room Cleansing

[Dannen]

i just moved house and i'm ooking for some nice rituals to clense rooms, any ideas?

[Pandoras]

Mine is very simple. I generally incorporate it with my regular housecleaning. I add rough sea salt to the bucket for mopping. I light candles in every room. I spread incense in every room. I try to incorporate all the elements and call upon goddesses related to the home and cleansing.

I kind of do something similar, myself. When I'm cleaning, I visualize all the stale old energy being dusted off, sucked up, or swept out the door. Then I go around my apt starting in the north & sprinkling the perimeter with salt water. Then I do the same thing only smudging with whatever I feel like at the time (sometimes a cedar smudge, sometimes sage, sometimes incense.) and I light all my yummy smelling candles or incense in all the rooms to create that "just cleaned/cleansed" happy glow/smell.

I tend to just take a little sage and crumble it in my hands, sprinkling it as I go ^_^

Yes, welcome to Mystic Wicks _travolta_ (I just love this guy!)

At the top of the page is the "search" function... if you enter cleansing, you'll probably get about a jillion hits... well, a couple dozen, anyway... :hehehehe:

I really think this one is nice. It came from http://www.melscorner.net/ Since it's a full moon it's perfect! Of course you can change the words any way you want to. Also, Buddhists believe in making noise to clear evil spirits. Clapping, ringing bells, even banging on pots and pans (providing your neighbors don't mind lol). I always thought that was fun.

for moving into a new home, i saturate the house with cleansing incence, and in meditation i visualise and clear the whole place with light energy, seeing negative energy leave and disipate. i also speak of the possitive energy i wish to fill my home. like peace and wellbeing, love and happiness, etc. that all negativity and all unwanted energies leave, and only that which will help and guide me and my family.
sometimes i build up energy and place in focused visualisation a sphere of white light around the house for protection. it can be charged up every month or whenever you feel it is needed.
i also sweep through the house and clear the energy that way (focused visualisation) on a daily basis.

i can give you mine if you want... but, it's excruciatingly long and complicated. works wonders tho.

If you are moving into a house, don't forget to go around the outside of it too. Inside I make a habit of doing an herbal "smudge" at least once a week to clear out the cosmic dust bunnies. I mix angelica, rosemary and white sage together and sprinkle it on a charcoal in a bowl on my altar in the living room. Since it's a small house the smoke goes throughout the place. I will also go through the house counterclockwise with my smudge bowl on occasion to make sure each room gets a good smokin'. Outside I go around the house with a mixture of salt, garlic, and red pepper. Either way, the first time around visualize a big broom sweeping away all the "uckys", or just make up a little rhyme to that effect. The second time around move clockwise and either visualize a protective shield emmanating from the mixture you are spreading (or the smudge) or make up a little rhyme to that effect.
