Witchcraft for the Home: New Home Edition

ribbonandthyme:

So I just moved into my apartment, and I thought I’d share some of the things I did when I moved in to cleanse and ready my house for my new life!

  • Before moving! Packing your witchy things carefully into a box with packing paper. Put sigils for protection and cleansing either on the outside of the box, or on the paper on the inside. I used This one for cleansing.
  • When moving in cleanse the house! I choose to use sage, but palo santo works really well too (I know sage does not smell so hot). You can either burn a bundle or use incense or Oil. I find that all three work when it comes to spreading the essence through the house. If burning a bundle I trace the doors and windows of the house. if using incense or oil I put the defuser in the center most room of the house.
  • protect the entrance of your new home by sprinkling a line of salt outside your front door.
  • Craft and hang a witches ladder in the living room.
  • Set up your altar/s. I have my Wiccan one and my shrine for Aphrodite in my bedroom and a small alter in my kitchen. Altar’s do not have to be big and showy if you want to put one in another room! My kitchen altar just consists of a candle and a small bundle of crystals and an incense burner. It helps bring energy into different parts of your home.
  • House plants! If you’ve never had any before get some house plants to create a vibrant and alive energy. Here are some Herb’s that will grow indoors and here are some easy to grow plants
  • Use crystals as decor. Place some or your crystals decoratively on shelves or tables to both give your home some pizazz and bring some witchiness everywhere.
  • If you worship gods/goddesses end by doing a small offering and welcome the god or goddess into your new home and to thank them for their help.
