#purification spell

need to do some dirty work? has something happened made you a bit off kilter? or are you just trying to get a certain person off of your case? try this simple little spell to get that monkey off your back.

🧂you will need: ✦ water in a bowl (big enough to wash your hands in) ✦ salt (purification, protection, grounding) ✦ a lemon leaf (purification, purging)

🌊 how to: ☾ put the lemon leaf in the water, with a pinch of salt. sit for a moment, think on what you would like to feel, i.e. calm and collected. ☾ begin to wash your hands with that same feeling in mind, or imagine washing away the tenseness a certain scenario/person brings. ☾ repeat: "i rid myself of this tenseness, i let tranquility flow, i release myself from this burden, i let these feelings go."

🧼want a boost? ✹ take. your. time. reflect, ask yourself why it bothers you. write it down in your journal, consult the tarot deck or the runes, or even meditate further on it. ✹ hum a little tune as you do it, something that makes you feel calm. ✹ if you feel particularly icky, take a shower afterwards. repeat the affirmation as you scrub yourself.

🪈as we approach winter at an increasing speed in the southern hemisphere, i find myself doing this often as i have 0 energy for sticky situations and trifling fools. if you are on a budget, you could just use some citrusy soap and wash your hands in the sink! it makes your hands smell great either way :) forever ago, emma ❦

× Thank you to The Green Witch on Youtube for putting this spell out there. ×

Ingredients:

Jar with a lid (preferably glass)

3 herbs (i used sage, clover, dandelion, and one piece of dried chamomile flower because that's all i had.)

You could also use: chamomile, rosemary, lavender, basil, pine, or cypress.

Instructions:

Pinch of one herb, lay in jar

Pinch of second herb, lay in jar

Pinch of third herb, lay in jar

Do this 3 times so that they are all layered.

Cap the jar off, tie yarn/thread/ribbon, etc. Onto the jar.

Place hands on top of the jar.

Put all energy and intent into jar.

Bind that energy to jar.

State your intent for jar.

Ex: to help clear away negative energy, to cleanse this space.

Shake jar in every room of house (i just did it in two rooms and down the hallway.)

While shaking the jar, say:

×× Clear this room, cleanse this space, with each quake, blessings embrace. ××

Leave the jar on your alter or desk.

Repeat whenever energy is stagnant.

I am a huge fan of jar spells, I'm always leaving them around my and my friends' houses. Actually I just made this one for Yule! This was for quite a bit of things: purify and protect my house and family, banish negative energies / emotions / spirits / vibes, to heal the household (especially my mother) of negative effects from negative spirits, get rid of lingering tension and bring happiness in the new year.

You can use this either to cleanse your home of negative ghosts, or maybe weird energy and tensions, or maybe for a fresh start in a new house / the new year. There's a lot of very pure, cleansing, and healing ingredients in this spell so it's very adaptable to you're specific situation, just keep you're intention in mind while making it.

What you will need:

5 pieces of dried fruit

Source of fire

Two tigereye stones

Compass

What ever object you wish to purify

(Best if done on windy day)

Find deserted outdoor area. Try to find a point above the area, (i used a child's playset) though that isnt completely necessary

Place candle, and set the tiger eye to the north and south of the candle. Place objects to be purified between the stones and candle.

Place four (pieces of) dried fruit forming a circle with the tiger eye.

Light the candle. Let the wind blow it out. On tbe second lighting, take 5th fruit and burn it with your match/lighter. Light the candle a third time, and let it go out.

Leave the butned fruit very close to the place of the spell. Throw the intact fruit to the north, south, east, and west (in that order)

~ The best time to create this potion is during a waxing moon as it brings about positive transformation.

Materials:

● Jar with a lid (half pint)

● Lavender (2 sprigs)

● Sandalwood (incense)

● Ginger (ground, two tsps.)

● Cloves (ground, two tsps.)

● Rosemary (3 sprigs)

● Vanilla Extract (one tsps.)

● Thyme (3 sprigs)

● Nutmeg (ground, one tsps.)

● Cinnamon (1 stick)

● 2 White Candles

● Blessed Water (200ml)

▽ Light two white candles on opposites ends of the surface you will be creating this spell on (preferably with a cloth underneath), and place your bottle in between them.

▽Add your ground herbs into the jar first, then add your lavender, rosemary, thyme, and cinnamon (either use a mortar and pestle to blend them or pull the leaves off the herbs).

▽ Next, add your vanilla extract and blessed water. Make sure the jar doesn’t overflow!

▽ Light your sandalwood incense and inhale the scent as you stir your spell three times clockwise and use an incantation relating to your reason behind making this spell. For example, I used this incantation:

Infinite power of the Divines,

Please help me with this spell o’ mine;

Fill this jar with good health and love,

As you send your blessings from above;

Negative energies I banish thee,

This is my will so Mote it be.

▽ Once your incantation is complete, blow out the candles and relax your body and mind whilst you inhale the aroma of the potion and focus on your intention.

▽ Now that your potion is finished, I would suggest adding a sigil to the jar, or if you like to manipulate energy, send positive energy towards it; maybe even use it as an offering for a deity of love or healing.

~

And there you have it, your very own healing and love jar! Inhale the aroma of the potion whenever you feel you need a little love and healing.

*DO NOT EAT!!!

This simple home cleansing is what I do whenever my living space’s energy is feeling stagnant or otherwise negative. It can be done as you feel the need to, but would be especially useful when moving into a new home/living space, when a roommate moves out, after a negative experience with a houseguest, or otherwise feeling some uninvited energy.

Gather:

full moon water (water charged by the light of a full moon)

sea salt

small bowl or other vessel

Spellwork:

Prepare your space. Ideally, you will perform a literal cleansing of you space first; tidy and organize before performing this cleansing. Turn off electronics, draw the curtains, open the windows. Allow in as much natural light and fresh air as possible.

Mix your ingredients. Hold the purpose of your ingredients in your mind. Pour your full moon water for purification into your vessel and add a pinch or two of sea salt for purification and protection.

Position yourself. Hold the vessel in the palm of your non-dominant hand. Place the fingertips and thumb of your dominant hand into the water and swirl gently a few times.

Charge the water with your intentions. Visualize a white light carrying positive energy flowing from your heart, down your arm, through your fingers, and into the water, filling it with the light. If you wish, speak your intentions as you charge.

Disperse the charged water around your home. Keep your fingers in the water, walking calmly around your home to visit the corners of each room, halls, corners of doorways, and around windows. Pause at each of these spaces to raise your fingers from the water to gently flick small droplets. Visualize these droplets as flecks of light which bloom and illuminate these spaces. Take your time and keep your focus. If you wish, add a chant as move through the space.

I cleanse this space I make it clear Only light may reside here

Cleanse yourself. Use the remaining sea salt and full moon water mixture to wash your hands by pouring it over a sink onto your non-dominant hand and then your dominant hand. Give a single clap as a final act of cleansing and to bring a sense of finality to the spellwork.

Additional:

Use common sense. The sea salt used in this cleansing can be damaging to some surfaces, such as wood finishes and metals. Be mindful of this. There is also no need to be overzealous in drenching anything with this water. A light spritzing from your fingertips is all that is needed, focus on dispersing the energy.

During a time when there are disagreements, upset feelings, or stress in the home, it may be necessary to cleanse a room or area in order to move forward with forgiveness.

Materials:

Egg

Black Marker

White Candle

Draw an X with black marker onto the egg while visualizing the situation or person you'd like to remove negativity from.

Light the white candle.

Carefully pass the egg over the flame without touching it, and imagine the egg is surrounded by an orb of purifying white light. This light has the power to absorb and immobilize negativity.

Hide the eggs somewhere in the house for 3 days.

Allow it to drain all unwanted resentment or fear from the home.

Afterwards, thank it and bring it outside and break it or compost to dispose of it.
