Talk to your house

mamahealing:

Your house is a sentient being with it’s own spirit and soul.
Some people identify this spirit as their household deities or friendly house spirits.
But some people have altogether forgotten how important the spirit of their house is.
Talk to your house.

Houses that have been ignored tend to be dull, tired and susceptible to hauntings and negative energies. 
So talk to your house, listen to its aches and pains, say hello.
Tell it that you come in peace, tell it that you are there to listen to it speak. Be grateful to your house. And watch the energies of your home transform themselves into joy. 

Simple Home Protection Jar Spell

sylvaetria:

(written for kie-the-faery-witch)

In a jar, however large you want it, layer any / some of the following:

  • sea salt
  • rosemary
  • bergamot (as in, earl gray tea)
  • cinnamon
  • crumbled up bay leaves
  • mint
  • basil
  • thyme
  • dill seeds
  • marjoram
  • cumin
  • garlic flakes / powder
  • black peppercorns (or just black pepper)

As you add each layer to the jar, focus deeply on your intent and pour that energy into the herbs. If you’d like, repeat a phrase to bring protection to your home and all those in it. (Don’t tell anyone else that phrase.) If you want to lock this spell on to anyone specific in the household, add some of their hair or other personal materials; otherwise, just state whomever is in the home at any given time is protected from harm. Feel free to also add any other items you associate with protection and safety. Tie a black ribbon or string near the neck / top of the jar to tie it off, and keep it on a windowsill in a common area of your home. (If you can – otherwise, wherever you can keep it safely is good).

Note: If a jar doesn’t work for you, a wee sachet is a good alternative.

Repurposed Horse Trailer in Taylors Mistake, New Zealand.

Contributed by Chris Stead

“The Truck” (as I refer to it) is a modified horse transporter. It’s surrounded by multi-million dollar homes, but fits in just as well as the homes around it. In addition to the truck itself (which boasts 3 sleeping areas, galley kitchen, bathroom and a lounge) I have built a separate sleepout, connected by wooden decking and stone paths. I live there year-round and love it!

It sits obviously in a coastal position in the South Island of New Zealand in an area known as Taylors Mistake — so named after the skipper of a ship in the 1800s mistook a gap between two headlands as being the entrance to the nearby Lyttelton Harbour and beached his ship there.

protection pennies 

I have been using protection pennies in my space warding for years now, and I find them to be a really useful aspect to my home wards. They are very simple and one dimensional, so they work best layered with other warding or protection practises. However, I do find them to be useful as a physical representation of protection.

ingredients: 

  • shiny and clean pennies, one for each threshold that you wish to protect
  • salt, you can also use green or black salt
  • conker shells, or something else that is symbolic of protection
  • a black permanent marker 
  • warding & protection sigils 

method:

Take your pennies and wipe them over so that the surface is clean. Then, use your black marker to draw warding and protection sigils on the tail side of them. 

Once the ink has dried on these, place them in or on something that you associate with a protective home. I used halves of a spiky conker shell, which there are lots of during this time of year. You could also use snail shells or sea shells, just make sure you are obtaining these ethically. 

Cover your pennies with salt, you can make black salt for this step. This is where conker shells come in handy as they act as little bowls for the salt and the pennies. 

Leave to charge for a little while, preferably under a dark or waning moon. Once they are charged, place the pennies above doorways, entrances and windows in your home. Ensure that your space is already cleansed before you place them.

Recharge periodically, either under the moon, with salt or with quartz crystals.
