Psychic Housekeeping

If you have been following my blog, you will likely come to notice if you had not already, that the states of the energy around us are vital to our health and happiness, I would be slightly remiss to not offer you some ideas on also how to maintain the hygiene of your own home too, as many of us know the energy of our environment can affect us greatly and vice versa, so why only clean the one? In my book - "Witchcraft The Wild Path for Beginners", Chapter 4 has a ritual, which allows you to consecrate your home to the Gods, and Chapter 4 has techniques on how to create sacred space within your home but I would suggest you begin with your psychic house keeping sooner rather than later. spiritual or magickal works in dense places become dense workings and heavier loads to shift, psychically speaking.

Members of different cultures have different methods for raising the vibration of their home and keeping it safe, spiritually. Buddhist and Hindu followers will chant, burn incense and pray to the Gods, a Christian will do their prayers, Shamans are inclined to burn fragrances, or dance, or chant depending on local customs, Pagans however have a whole host of fun activities that we can utilise to cleanse our homes.

Below is a list of activities that you can try and even combine to make for a fun, magickal and wholesome experience if just one technique does not work for you.

VISUALISATIONS

Netting – Visualise a white net made of pure, refined light, above your home and see it slowly move down through your home, capturing and scraping off any psychic gunk that has accumulated, do this as many times as you feel is necessary. We can often clear unwanted energies by means of smudging but more often than not it will take more than a smudging act to clear the denser, sticky energies, especially in the corners of rooms where it likes to build.

Fire of love – The flaming love of the divine will consume all that is unlike itself, you can make a habit of invoking the spiritual fires to purify the psychic energy in your home, you can say your own small prayer for this and then visualise your home being cleansed by pink, ethereal flames.

Shower of light – This is a pleasant technique that can raise the vibration of your home quickly and relax you, so I recommend a coffee to keep you alert and grounded. Casually call out to your spirit guides and ask that the celestial energies of the heavens begin to shower your home. See this extraordinary, sparkling light fall from the skies onto and through your home, see it washing away any built up sludge and feel the energy of the room speeding up as it brings Heaven down to Earth.

CHANTS

Chants have been used for thousands of years, sometimes it can just be the same word over and over again, said fast, medium or slow paced, it can be a string of words, or already present chants can be used, such as the beautiful Buddhist chant: "Om mani padme hum", which translates to "Hail to the jewel in the lotus", referring to the heart. This chant actually generates more love and compassion but it does positively impact the space around you, it is a nice offering to the Buddha but it is not a prayer directly to him, unlike some Hindu chants which contain the names of the Gods.

If you are already a practicing Pagan you can chant the name or names of your deities to effect change, they will already know it is part of your cleansing and may react and correspond, or they may not, but the inherent power in their names will help change the energy of your home.

SOUNDS

Sound is a fantastic way to cleanse your home, since our words have an innate power and vibration does indeed affect reality, it is useful, convenient and also good to use sound to help cleanse the home. One can argue that sound alone does not cleanse your home but simply shakes the gunk loose so it can be cleared with ease, but if you are using sacred instruments or music and invoke spirit for assistance it is an even nicer process.

A Bell - Bell ringing has been associated with not just the call to prayer, but also is well known for its energy shaking abilities, this can be a nice adjunct if you are also praying, chanting, burning herbs or simply speaking magickal words to clear the unhealthy vibrations and energies that have gathered.

A Drum, or Shamanic drum - Is one of my favourite instruments, and also tools in my Craft. Not only is the drum used to facilitate a shift in consciousness into an altered state, it can be used to summon spirits and deities, or set the mood as part of ritual or pre-ritual preparation, however in this context it is also fabulous for truly hammering the home or space in which is it radiating power and magick. Have ready your drum in your hand, set your intention for it to help you cleanse your home, or if you are Shamanic you can wake it's inherent spirit with a prayer such as followers:

"I, (name), awaken and summon the spirit of this drum,

Join with me in my magick, and sacred we shall be,

Blessed Be"

After you have found your rhythm and drummed for as long as you see fit, thank the spirit of the drum such as:

"Masterful spirit, kind and sacred,

I thank you for joining me in this act,

Return now my friend, to your restful slumber,

Until we work in unison again, Blessed be"

A Rattle - A Rattle is another tool from past times, typically used by tribes and other communities to call out to spirit, akin to my drum, I sometimes like to use my rattle to help disrupt unhealthy energy in my home to release it, if I feel energy is stubborn it is often used with two purposes, to disrupt the energy and summon spiritual help.

HERBAL PRACTICES

Herbs ablaze – I find that burning fragrances has such a strong and noticeable impact on the environment, especially strong odours that linger, there are some great purifying herbs such as the Sage, Rosemary and Lavender plants. If you choose this method I would suggest burning the herbs as a smudge stick you have bought or crafted, or burn them in a flameproof vessel and waft the smoke into the 4 sides, 4 corners of the room and above and below and say: “I hereby banish all harmful and unwanted energies from my sacred space, my aura and my home” each time you change corners or direction, and after you have done the directions say: “So mote it be”. Do this in every room as appropriate and consider this once a week, perhaps Monday morning to set you and your home up for the week.

Herbal infusions - A herbal infusion, is to essentially brew a potion, or decoction, one or multiple herbs are placed into water and placed atop a heated source to help extract their essence, both chemical and magickal, I like the idea of "Making a cuppa" but offering this to my home while I brew my coffee separately. You can either sprinkle some of this aqueous solution or use it to wash down your doors, windows and door handles. Please do check whether the chosen herbs are suitable for this purpose and bear in mind that if you intend to store these solutions for an extended period, microbial growth will occur, and adding a splash of alcohol may act to preserve the solution, but also may negatively impact the surfaces you will wash with the solution.

HOLY WATER

Blessed Water - This is not a new concept either, but you can invoke divine assistance to bless water which you can then sprinkle or splash around your home, bringing forth the abundant blessing of the Water element. Rain fall works best as it comes from the heavens, or waters from a sacred site such as the Chalice Well gardens in Glastonbury if you live near there. Just leave a vessel out on a rainy night and bottle it up before the sunrise, this does not have to be 4am, it may only take 1 hour to fill, but try to keep it out of sunlight and store in a blue, brown or black glass bottle when bottled.

If you can make a hobby of cleansing your house at least once a week without fail both you, and your guests, will notice a shift in the energy in your home and it will begin to feel very peaceful, especially if you are bringing down to your home a lot of spiritual light. Get creative and have fun.

"But what if I don't do this?", simply put, your home will continue to have an array of new energies coming in that may stagnate and build up making your home feel more dense, possibly more tense, particularly if you are having family or relationship issues and these are affecting how your home feels.

Blessed Be. XxX
