Magical Homes #18 - 30th Oct 2024
What is a magical home? It is different things to different people. For an insecure child, their magical home may be a place of safety with no raised voices. For an over worked adult it may be a place of solace that creates a cocoon of safety and for a family it may be a place everybody comes together to talk, eat and share their worries.
As a witch my magical home is very much about the entire house and gardens that I live in, I am fairly particular who I invite into my space because I spend a lot of time ensuring it is peaceful, filled with magical energy and that very few negative words and bad vibes happen there. My home is tranquil and that is how I like it. My office is at home, I do treatments, courses, rituals and foraging from home, I do all my magic at home, but it is also the place that me and Mr Wiccan Lady spend the most time relaxing.
Some people like to sage their homes, fling the windows open and imagine all negative energy leaving their 4 walls and some like me like to do a Spring clean in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, there is nothing better than that feeling of pulling the furniture into the centre of a room, dusting, wiping down and freshening up all the furnishings, of course, I don’t just wipe away, I have a specific method I use, moving from the centre of doorways out towards the top and bottom, the same on mirrors and windows. I always ensure I clean all entries from the outside world, like the letter box, the WIFI box, telephone port, the TV as its a smart telly, the fireplace and chimney, patio doors - you get the picture?
I use a spray I make myself called 4 Thieves Spray (available in my online store) it is made to the original 15th Century recipe, I sort of think if it stops you getting the Black Plague, it will work on most things and it smells divine to.
If you only have time to Spring clean once a year, then ensure it is in Spring and call in the Celtic Goddess Brigid (Breed) to consecrate your home and hearth after you have done.
But for those of you who just don’t have the time or the inclination for all that cleaning, then simply starting up stairs at the back of the house with a set on Tingsha bells (also available in the store), a shamanic drum or rattle will work just as well, raising the vibration to clear negative energy and replace it with clear vibration that sings with joy. Work down the stairs, to the back of the house again and out the front door.
Then sit back and enjoy your newly magical space.
