Celebrate a new home or apartment with a house blessing. You'll need a new broom, a protective smudge (cedar and sage are good choices), bread, wine, and salt. Light the smudge and walk the grounds, moving around the property's perimeter sunwise (deosil). At each cardinal point (north, east, south, west), pause and acknowledge the guardian of that direction and ask for benevolent protection. Next, take the salt, bread, and wine and stand at the main entrance. Repeat the following, handing each item to the homeowner:

Bless this home and all who enter!
Here is bread, that you never
hunger.
Here is wine, that you never
thirst.
Here is salt, that your life
always be well seasoned!
Enter through the front door, sharing hugs and handshakes. Move through the house deosil, smudging it. As each room is smudged, the homeowner should use the broom to sweep old, stale energies toward and out of the front door. Blessed be!
