To purify your house, open the windows during a waning Moon or during the third or tenth hour after sunset. Light two red candles and set on the kitchen counter. Light a charcoal block and place in a cauldron between the candles. Grind equal parts bay leaf, yarrow flowers, rosemary leaves, St. John's Wort leaves, basil leaves, juniper berries, and mullein. Add the herbs to the glowing charcoal. Peel garlic cloves and place one in the center of each room. Carry the cauldron from room to room, censing each widdershins, then return it to the countertop between the candles. Vacate the house for thirteen minutes. Return and gather the garlic cloves without touching them, fasten in a plastic bag, and put outside in the trash. Close the windows, let the candles burn another hour, then snuff. Scatter the cooled incense remains out of doors. This spell is best done before occupancy. |
