Whether you’re moving into a new apartment, or making an old house feel more like home, ritual blessings are perfect for any time of year, for any environment. It is easy to forget that our homes need cleansing as much as our bodies do. Without proper cleansing, our homes can collect stagnant and negative energy. This article offers simple tools and tips for blessing and cleansing your living environment. You may add your own affirmations or spiritual tools for more specific needs, or intense situations (such as hauntings, or spell-breaking).
Best times for home blessing
- Moving into a new home
- Starting a new relationship (marriage or partnership)
- Welcoming a newborn or child
- Beginning a new year or significant lifestyle change
Tip: The New Moon provides bountiful energy for new beginnings
Best times for home cleansing
- After arguments or other negative home disruptions
- On the New Moon of each month
- Selling or buying a home
- Job hunting
- Looking for a romantic partnership

Thank you, Angela, for the user-friendly directions you have supplied everyone with. I purchased a book from EL about smudgings and blessings. I purchased the oils for what I required. I will check with EL to see if you carry what I don’t have. Which I’m sure you do. You have pretty good selection to choose from. Thanks, again.
I’m wondering if all of the same items should be used if one wants to bless/cleanse a workplace. I’ve smudged our office in the past (with sage and sweetgrass) and plan to do so again this month. I just wondered if any different/additional items (than those mentioned in Angela’s article) should be used for a workplace than for a home.
thank you for the knowledge to clean my new home
