As the weather warms up and we can keep our windows open, it's a great time to spiritually cleanse your home. The negative energy can build up over the colder months and it's a good idea to shake that up every once and awhile. There are lots of options for this type of working. Pick the one that works best for you.

*Full House Smoke Cleanse - use your favorite smoke cleanser. Try something like; dried white sage, dried rosemary, dragon's blood, or whatever smoke cleanse you prefer. Close up all the windows and doors of your home. Burn your cleanser until your space is quite smoky. When you feel ready, open all the doors and windows, allowing the smoke to dissipate; taking the negative energy with it. You can even help it along with a fan or broomstraw.

*Walking Smoke Cleanse - use your favorite smoke cleanser. Try something like; dried white sage, dried rosemary, dragon's blood, or whatever smoke cleanse your prefer. Light the cleanser over a fire proof container and starting at the front door, walk the boundary of your house from the inside. Pay special attention to any openings, mirrors, electrical outlets, windows, and the like. Circulate your house until you make it back to your front door.

*Water Cleanse - get a spiritual cleansing mix of herbs and boil them in a pot of water. Strain the herbs out of the water and use this water to cleanse your home. Don't forget the walls, floors, mirrors, and across the threshold of your front door.

*Lemon Cleanse - clean your house as you normally do, when you finish a room light a white candle and slice open a lemon in half. Place the candle and lemon on a plate in the center of the room. Repeat this process until your whole house is clean. When you are finished cleaning extinguish the candles and let the lemons sit until they begin to dry out. Compost them once they are dry. If they get moldy, you will need to repeat the process.

This spell can be used to help increase your self love or create space for a loving environment. For this love spell you will need the following items:

*Open Heart Oil
*Love Herb Mix
*Large Pot of Water

Pour the herbs into the pot of water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling speak your desires to love into the water. Let the water cool and then strain out the herbs. Use this water to wash all the floors in your house. When you are finished pour the water across your front steps.

Take the Open Heart Oil and use this to anoint every door handle in your home. As you touch each door handle (inside and outside) speak your desires for love.

This ritual bath is meant to call upon the power of wealth and prosperity. It is important to the measurements of all the ingredients equal. Start by filling your bathtub with hot water; as hot as you can comfortably handle without burning yourself.
 
You will need the following items:
1 Cup Coconut Milk
1 Cup Cow Milk
1 Cup Sheep Milk
1 Cup Oat Milk
1 Cup Honey
​
As you pour each ingredient into the water speak out loud how you are wealthy and prosperous. Use the first two fingers of your dominant hand to draw a dollar sign into the water and then pour in the next ingredient.
When all ingredients have been added to the water, get undressed and get into the bath. Allow yourself to feel luxurious and prosperous.

I love a good uncrossing spell. Often folks feel that they have been cursed or had negative energy sent their way. Sometimes this is true, but more often than not, it's self inflicted. The more you believe you've been cursed, the more you will start to see signs to confirm that. Doing an uncrossing spell can help to clear negative energy, clear curses, and help to shake off any blocks that are in the way of your moving forward.

For this working you will need:
*Bowl of salt water (ideally from the ocean)
*Your favorite cleansing incense or herbs (sage, rosemary, palo santo, copal are all good choices for this spell)
*Uncrossing oil

Create an altar on the floor with all of the items listed above; if possible make this altar on the floor of your bathroom. Light the incense or herbs and use the smoke to cleanse around your spirit body. Don't touch your skin and be careful to watch for pieces that fall off and could still be burning.

Take the bowl of salt water and go into the shower. Pour the water down your body and then take a shower. Scrub your body and use any salt that remains in the bottom of the bowl to scrub.

When you are finished dry off and return to your altar. Take the uncrossing oil and anoint the bottoms of your feet, your knees, your lower belly, your navel, your heart, your throat, your third eye, and finally the top of your head.

Perform this spell when you are ready to call a new love into your life. Be clear as you focus on creating this spell bag on the type of love you want to bring in. If you want a romantic relationship be clear about that; otherwise if you are too generic on "new love" you might end up with a new pet!

For this working you will need:
*red silk square of fabric
*henna powder
*dried rose petals
*heart shaped charm
*small rose quartz
*small paper that will fit into the spell bag

Fold the fabric in half and sew up to of the three open sides of the fabric. Write on the small paper your desire, roll it up, and put it into the spell bag. Fill the bag with the rest of the ingredients and then sew up the final side of the bag. Carry the bag as close to your heart as possible until your new love arrives.

It's good magick to start the year off with a good cleanse. It's a pain in the butt to do this cleanse, but it is really effective.

For this working you will need:

*Cleansing herbs - I prefer bay, hyssop, and red clover, but whatever you like for cleansing will work.
*Salt
*Anointing oil, Blessing oil, or Luck oil

Make a big pot of tea with the herbs. Add a healthy dose of salt to the water and allow it to cool. Use this water to clean your home and/or living space. You can add the water to your regular cleaning products or just use the tea water.
Keep some of the water back for the end of the working.

As a final step in the cleansing process, sweep your home from back to front and then out the front door. Sprinkle salt across the threshold.

Finally, take a cleansing bath or shower using the rest of the tea mixture. Allow yourself to air dry and then anoint yourself with the oil you've selected. Speak out loud the goals that you want and what you want to achieve in the coming year. Feel these things as if they are here now.
​
Happy New Year!

Keep the peace during the holiday season. For this spell you will need the following supplies:
*Square of Blue Fabric
*Van Van Oil 
*3 Bay Leaves
*A Clove for Each Person Attending the Event
*A Pinch of Salt
*A Pinch of Lavender

Take all of the herbal ingredients and place them in the center of the square of fabric with the pinch of salt. Tie off the bundle with ribbon or thread. Use the Van Van Oil to anoint the Charm Bag. 

Hide this bag under the table where people will gather. You can tape it to the underside of the table if needed. Make sure to anoint the bag the morning of the gathering.
​
If you decide to leave the bag in place for ongoing peace, make sure you re-anoint it at least once a week.

This is a spell of seduction. When you are looking to seduce a new lover (or spice things up with an existing lover), perform this spell before going out.

You will need the following items for this working:
-Half a vanilla pod
-Two roses worth of rose petals
-1 cup of salt
-Handful of rice powder
-1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix the rice powder with the cinnamon and set this aside. Fill your bathtub with warm water and add salt, half a vanilla pod sliced open, and the rose petals. Add bubbles if you'd like. Soak up this energy and feel yourself becoming desirable. 

When you are ready get out of the tub and air dry. When you are fully dry dust your body with the rice powder and vanilla.

As we step into the time of the year when the veils are thinning and the dead dance about, here are some tips on keeping hauntings away from your home and self.

*Place camphor cubes in strategic places where you've noticed ghostly energy.
*Fumigate your home with camphor.
*Plant rosemary bushes around the edges of your home.
*Keep fresh bay leaves around the home, replace them when they start to dry out.
*Put a bowl of peeled garlic, sea salt, and rosemary in the center of your home.
*Fumigate your home with bistort.
*Make an angelica root tea and sprinkle this around your home.

As always don't use any herbs or ingredients that you are allergic to.

Now that we are in the grip of Mercury Retrograde, I thought I would share the spell that I perform when I need a little help from the ravages of Mercury Rx. (Yes, I'm intentionally being dramatic here.)

For this spell you will need the following items:

• A glass encased candle, ideally either grey, green, or white
• A pinch of cinnamon, thyme, and mullein
• A dash of olive oil 
• Mercury symbol

Write on the glass of the candle the symbol for Mercury. Around the top of the glass write your name. Poke three holes in the top of the wax of the candle. Add the herbs and the oil. 
While you go through this process speak out loud to Mercury/Hermes. Ask for his help and assistance during this period of Retrograde. Let him know that you are lighting this candle as an offering to him, so that he might grant you ease and flow.
Light the candle and burn it every day during the Mercury Retrograde period.
HAPPY RX!
