✨ Cleansing in Witchcraft ✨

orriculum

Cleansing is a way of removing negative or unwanted energies, spirits, and imprints from an object or a space. There are a number of simple rituals and actions that are done to cleanse. You can do as many or as few as you like, and create your own cleansing methods/rituals. 

✨ CLEANSING ONESELF

  • Brush your hair, morning
  • Ritual baths
  • Dancing singing
  • Visualization 
  • Drinking a tea designed to cleanse

✨ DISCREET METHODS

  • Brush your hair
  • Open the windows, let the new air come in and the old air out 
  • Light a candle
  • Playing a song you associate with cleansing
  • Ringing wind chimes
  • Wetting your hands in salt water and flicking the water through the area
  • Visualize light and colors, and manipulate the energy away

✨ OPEN AREA METHODS

  • Ring a bell through an area
  • Smoke cleansing / cense (not smudging)
  • Waft incense smoke around
  • Burn herbs, such as sage, rosemary, bay leaf, etc
  • Spritz lemon-infused water around, or salt water
  • Light a candle
  • Sprinkle salt or eggshell pieces in the windows and doorways
  • Use a besom to clean the negative energies out of the air like cobwebs
  • Wave a branch of a strong-scented herb through the area, such as mint
  • Toss a pinch of salt or herbs in the door ways and window
  • Touch each corner of the room and say a short prayer over each

✨ CLEANSING OBJECTS

  • bury in a salt bath
  • if water-compatible (not soluble, won’t react poorly, etc), let sit in a moon or salt water bath
  • pass through smoke
  • incense
  • rainwater, mist, snow, etc

This is a wonderful post with great cleansing tips!

On Monday I am going to try cleansing for the first time. Since I don’t have much money or supplies I think I will do the following:

1: Clean my home from top to bottom and in every nook and cranny.

2: Meditate for as long as it takes to clear my spirit of negative energy. I am going to visualise it as a sort of tar seeping away from me. And then I will do the same for my home. 

3: Fill a spray bottle, which I will have bought beforehand, and fill it with water and sprinkle in some sage and sea salt. 

4: Next I will gently mist the corners of my home and all possible entrances. 

5: Finally, I am going to sit and meditate. I will be visualise my inner light and magick. I am going to focus on my breathing and try to feel as connected as possibly with every cell in my body. Once I feel connected and whole, I will focus all of my good intentions and push them out of me and into my home. I can visualise it now as a sea of colours and light with waves crashing against the walls of my home. 

Can’t wait to do this!
