Often there are situations within houses that make it difficult for us live in them peacefully.

There are a variety of reasons for this.  Sometimes houses can retain a sort of photo recording of other people and other times, that have lived in them in the, this can sometimes cause disturbance to the present occupiers. 

These are not true ‘ hauntings’ but simply a sort of photo image that is left on the very fabric of the building itself.  A simple cleansing will sometimes clear this in the same way that any videotape can be wiped and re-recorded on, what we need to do here is wipe away the old impressions and instale our own, of peace calm and contentment.

Others are true hauntings, where someone has passed over either in the house, or some way associated with it or the place where it is built, and is unable to find rest or to move on into the Light.  Again a simple cleansing and request to the unsettled spirit to move on, done in a gentle and positive way, will usually do the trick, it is quite unusual to find hauntings that cannot be taken care of easily and gently in this way.  But if you do sense something that is very disruptive or frightening you in some way, then it's better to bring in someone who is skilled in the way of exorcism, because this is what will need to be performed, this is also often the case where a house has been built on an ancient burial site, where the spirit are disturbed and displeased. But we are not concerned with exorcism at this point.

The simplest way to do a cleansing for your home, whether it is because you feel there is a presence within it that you wish was not there, or because something unpleasant has happened in it  recently, and you would like to cleanse it and make it feels safe and good again, is to gather together the following ingredients:-

Small nightlights or white candles (plus holders enough for every room)

Incense.

Charged water and salt mixture (separate bowls with a small amount of water in one and plain salt in the other)

Prayer or Ritual

Depending on what your religious persuasion is (or isn't!) Gently pour the water into the salt, adding a prayer or invocation.  (Here is an example of what I would say as a pagan)

"May the blending of these elements pure salt to preserve the sanctity and pure water cleanse this space," in the Name of the Goddess"  (here add your own prayer or finish the invocation to whichever deity you prefer)

Do this in a Sacred and meaningful way, in the knowledge that you are creating a powerful medicine to cleanse and heal your home.

Now take the water and either using your fingers or a little brush, sprinkle the holy water around the walls of every room every door and every window, and when you have finished making sure that everywhere has been treated, Pour the remaining salt/water mixture in a line in front of any doors leading in and out of the building.

Now go back into the house, and in each room light a small white candle and some incense, leaving both to burn out to the end. 

 When you have finished, it is also beneficial to take a bunch of fresh flowers into the main room of the house.

 This will cleanse your house making it happy and peaceful!

"Blessed Be!"
