First Step: Cleanse your space!

Cleanse the area to remove any vibes from previous owners or negative energy left behind.  This can also be done on a current home if you wish.

1) Smudging – this is a traditional practice to many, and it should always be the first step you take when blessing a new or existing home.  Use a smudge stick to cleanse the area (I am a big fan of small white sage smudges).  You should start in the north end of the house, and go counter-clockwise (since you are cleasing), paying special attention to all openings – including windows, doors, vents, drains etc.  If you wish, instead of the smudge, you can use Home Purification Incense, and follow the same process.

2) Salt – you can use salt to cleanse the area as well.  Just use some plain white salt (you can mix in a little frankincense powder or Rosemary with the salt if you wish).  Sprinkle the salt all around the perimeter outside of your home, starting on the north end and moving counter-clockwise once again.

Second Step: Fill it with positive energy!

Once the space is clear and open you need to invite positive energy into your space.  There are some easy and simple ways to do that!

1) Smudging – if you are a big fan of smudging, this a great option.  Use Cedar tips burned in a censer or a cedar smudge stick and smudge the home.  Once again, you want to start on the north side of the home, and this time, you want to move clockwise.  Smudge every corner of every room!

2) Incense – Burn some Home Blessing incense at the center of your home for about 30-45 minutes.  Close all doors and windows and let the smoke permeate the whole house for about 1-2 hours.  After that, you can open doors and windows again.

3) Candle – you can also use a white candle, either a votive or a spell candle.  Charge the candle with positive energy for your home, and burn it at the center of the home.  Let the candle burn completely down.

Third Step: Keep it clean!

Once your home is cleansed and charged, maintain it going forward! There are many ways to do that, if you work with spirits or angels you can dedicate the home to them and make a monthly offering.  You can also use crystals and herbs to maintain the good vibes in your home!

1) Guardians – if you have a guardian spirit, angel, god or totem you work with, you can offer them a monthly offering to watch over your home and keep it safe.  You should offer them a white candle.  It is important to understand that this is an offering, not a request.  This should not be combined with other spells you do during the month with other intents.  This should simply be a candle offering to them, thanking them for their protection and convey your hopes that they will keep watch over you.  You can also burn incense along with the candle if you wish, based on the entity you are working with.  This is the method I myself follow, I burn a white candle for my ancestral spirit every month and some Peaceful Home incense along with it.

2) Incense – if you just wish to maintain high vibrations in the home, you can burn some Peaceful Home incense or Home Blessing incense at the center of your home once a month or every couple of months.  As when you cleansed, make sure that all windows and doors are closed for about 1-2 hours so that the smoke can permeate the whole home.

3) Crystals – You can also use Crystals.  I am a big fan of the crystal sentinels.  You can use our Home Protection Set or make your own set.  Place one cleansed crystal in each room, hidden in a place where people (especially small children and animals) will not be able to get to them.  Be sure to pull all crystals once every moon cycle and re-cleanse them before you put them back out again.  Here are some crystal ideas that I have used in the past that have worked really well – by room:

- Living Room/Family Rooms: Black Obsidian, Smoky Quartz or Tiger’s Eye
- Children’s Rooms and guest rooms: Rose Quartz or Moonstone
- Bathrooms: Citrine, Clear Quartz or Rose Quartz
- Kitchens: Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, Smoky Quartz, Mahogany Obsidian, Rose Quartz
- Garages and Patios: Black Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Hematite

You can cleanse the stones once a month in salt water, bury them in the earth for 24 hours or use a smudge stick.  Once the stones are cleansed you need to re-charge them through meditation, energy channeling, moonlight, sunlight or with our Crystal Blend Incense.  Once the stones are charged, just place them back out again and they are ready to go for another moon cycle!

I hope these ideas bring you a happy home!

1) Star Anise Spell to open your third eye Chakra

2) Mugwort Infusion for cleansing and charging psychic items

This is a great idea to cleanse and charge your psychic items such as runes, crystal balls, pendulums and even mirrors.

• Create a Mugwort infusion by adding about 2 tablespoons of mugwort to a tea infuser or an old sock, and pour about 1 cup of boiling water.
• Let it steep for about 20 minutes and cool.
• Once cool, you can soak your runes, pendulum or crystals in the infusion for about 30 minutes.  After that, rinse the items in clean water to get residue off – your item is ready to use!  If you wish, you can also add some of the infusion to a cloth (make sure to ring off excess solution before using – your cloth should not be dripping wet or it may ruin your item!) and lay it on a mirror or box (or any item that cannot be submerged).  Let it remain on the item for about 30 minutes, then take the cloth off and wipe the item clean.

3) Quick incense to prepare a room for meditation or psychic work:

To make a quick incense to prepare a room for meditation your will  need your mortar and pestle.

• Take about 1 teaspoon of Frankincense, 1 teaspoon of Myrrth and 1 teaspoon of Sandalwood and place in your mortar.
• Crush the two resins and wood together until well blended.  You may have some large pieces of sandalwood in the mix and that is fine.
• Burn the incense in a charcoal roll – save unused incense for next time!

4) Creating a Psychic Bath

This is a great idea for a bath to either use before working to open your third eye, before meditation or even before going to bed if you are trying to encourage prophetic dreams.  You will need your mortar and pestle for this, as well as a muslin bag or an old sock.

• Add to your mortar 1 tablespoon of Orange Peel, 1 tablespoon of Anise Star and a half of a tablespoon of Mugwort.
• Bruise the herbs together, be sure to break up the Anise star and Orange peel some to release their scent.
• Add all of the contents to your muslin bag or to an old sock.
• Toss the sachet into your warm bath.  You can also add an amethyst stone to the water to empower it.
• Enjoy your bath and feel the herbs do their magick!

5) Creating a Psychic sachet

A sachet is a great talisman spell.  You can carry it with you for one full moon cycle.  You can repeat the process at the next cycle if you wish.  The power of the sachet lies in how close you carry the item with you.  During the time your sachet is active, be sure to carry it with you everywhere.  Put it in your purse or pocket during the day and on your  nightstand at night.  If you wish, you can tie it to a leather necklace and carry it under your cloths during the day and even sleep with it.  It will be strongest if it is close to the skin.

• In a small bag (preferably cotton) add the following herbs: 1 teaspoon of Sandalwood, 3 pieces of Anise Star Pod, 1 teaspoon of Mugwort,  3 pieces of Myrrth and 3 pieces of Orange peel.
• Close the bag, focusing on the intent you wish for the sachet.  Some ideas are to improve your psychic signature, to open your third eye chakra, to improve your connection to your higher self or to improve your divination skills.  Whatever you wish – make sure you can visualize your intent very clearly when you create the sachet.
• Carry the sachet with you for one full moon cycle.  This is best done in the new moon.

I hope you all enjoy these ideas!!

Blessed Be!

Memorial services represent a difficult time in life.  Our goal is to make a wonderful ceremony to celebrate the life of your loved one and to help you say goodbye.  When you ask me to do your memorial service, please remember several things that I will take into account:

- Your ritual will be uniquely yours and no one else’s!  For this reason, I will need to meet with you and your family at least a couple of days before the ceremony to decide how you wish the ritual to flow.  I will not do a last minute memorial services with generic rituals.  All of our rituals are customized to each family.

- Location – I will drive anywhere within the following counties for your ceremony.  I am located in York, SC, for the locations a little further out, I will require reimbursement of gas costs:

North Carolina: Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Gaston Counties
South Carolina: York and Lancaster Counties

- Dress: You can choose from a more formal Wiccan ceremony (with traditional HPS black robes) or a more generic ceremony for which I have white robes.  I will do my best to do what makes you and your guests more comfortable.  If you decide to have a private Wiccaning (with you and your partner only, we can accommodate that as well).

- Supplies: Once your ritual is completed and you have had a chance to look through it and approve it, you will be responsible for securing all necessary supplies.  If you decide to purchase them through our Online Store, Raven Moonlight Botanicals, you will receive a 15% discount on your order and we will bring it to you the day of the ceremony.  If not, please be sure you have all that is needed before hand.
