House Protection Salt and Water Blessing

House Protection

This is a house protection blessing I wrote some time ago that I thought I would share with you for anyone that might find it useful.

It is a good use of full moon water if you managed to make any at the last full moon as this will be very powerful protective water.

Use this blessing anytime you feel your house needs protection from any outside  negative influences, it can be used when you first move into a house, when you are leaving it or at anytime you feel it necessary.

It is best done when the moon is full or waxing but may be performed whenever it is needed.

Assemble:

Salt and spring or blessed water

4 white and one blue candle

Piece of turquoise

Tambourine, bells etc

Incense

Casting A Circle

Choose a central room in which to carry out the ritual- often the living room.

Place candles at the four quarters of your circle.

Choose a place to put your altar or workspace, this may be on a small table or a cloth on the floor

Light the incense.

Cast your circle within which you will work

As you do so, say

I cast this circle in love and light, filling it with positive energy

Visualize the house within a protective circle.  The circle will completely envelop the house placing it inside a protective bubble.

Call upon, greet and invite ancestors, any specific gods/goddesses/ angels and all harmonious spirits and energies to be present in the house as they please.

Releasing Stuck energy

Use the tambourine or anything else that makes a noise, you can simply clap your hands if preferable, and go to all four corners of the room and make a noise to get rid of any stuck energy that may be there, do this in every room that you think necessary and any doors or windows that you feel may have a negative energy lurking.

Calling the Quarters

To protect the house at every point of the compass and to invoke the spirits of each quarter, light each candle in turn starting with the east.

Light the east candle and say

May the element of air bless this space with light, love and air and grant me protection in everything I do and anywhere I go.

Light the south candle and say

May the element of fire bless this space with light, love and air and grant me protection in everything I do and anywhere I go.

Light the west candle and say

May the element of water bless this space with light, love and air and grant me protection in everything I do and anywhere I go.

Light the north candle and say

May the element of north bless this space with light, love and air and grant me protection in everything I do and anywhere I go.

Salt and Water blessing

Move back to your workspace and light the blue candle

Place three pinches of salt in the water and say

Water be healing and salt be pure

Keep me safe and protected sure

Bad energy please flee from me

Send it back so none need flee

Take the salt and water and sprinkle at the edges of rooms or outside the house, in particular doorways and window frames and anywhere where protection is needed the most.

Completing the ceremony

Finish your house protection by thanking the ancestors, deities and all beings for being present and for continuing to protect you and your family.

Thank the spirits of the east south west and north.

Close the circle and say

May the circle be open yet unbroken

May the love of the goddess be ever in your heart

Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again.

Blessed be

The magical circle is closed and the protective bubble remains around your house to keep the protective magic working.
