Primary Use
To clear a haunted home or building of lingering ghosts. To clear a home of unwanted spirits, poltergeists, and other energies of the dead.
You Will Need
Preparations
Every good spiritual cleansing begins with a physical cleaning. At the very least, the home should be cleared of clutter, dusted, and where appropriate, swept, mopped, or vacuumed. Also, the person performing the cleansing, and anyone present for the cleansing, should take a shower before this work is started. Next, open all the windows in the home, to allow for ventilation, and open all the bedroom, bathroom, closet, and cabinet doors, so you don't have to fumble with them as you're moving about.
You might consider disconnecting the smoke detectors, as the smoke from the smudge stick will likely set them off, but do this at your own risk. You may decide to disconnect and reconnect detectors floor by floor or room by room, as you move through the space - safely set down the bowl and smudge stick as needed. If you have someone to help you, they can disconnect and reconnect detectors as you move through the space as well.
IMPORTANT Note - Please Read:
Whenever you're standing at the top of a flight of stairs, ensure you stand far enough away from the edge, or off to the side, so no malevolent forces can push you down.
When you are walking up or down a flight of stairs, rest the smudge stick in the bowl so you may free one hand to hold the handrail, for the same reason.
The Cleansing
If you have not already done so, place the sand or dirt into the bowl, and carry the bowl and smudge stick with you to the front door of the home or building.
Wearing or holding the Santa Muerte rosary, stand with your back to the front door, looking into the home. Safely light the smudge stick, ensuring it remains smoking, but not aflame (like a stick of incense), and recite the below included Haunted Place Cleansing magick prayer. You can hold the bowl in one hand and the smudge stick in the other hand over the bowl, or you can plant the unlit end of the smudge stick into the dirt of the bowl, so you can hold both in one hand. Do what allows you to move safely and comfortably.
Main Floor
After reciting the prayer, begin to walk slowly around the inner perimeter of the home, moving from the location of the front door in a clockwise direction. As you walk around the inner perimeter, continue to recite the below magick prayer, as you gently wave the smudge stick so its smoke reaches the corner of every room, including every nook and closet, until you are back at the front door.
Lower Level / Basement
If the home has a basement, or any accessible living areas beneath the main floor, then go to the threshold of the basement / lower level and again recite the Haunted Place Cleansing magick prayer. Next, walk slowly down the stairs while reciting the magick prayer, and once at the base of the stairs, again walk along the inner perimeter of the lower level in a clockwise direction, ensuring the smoke from your smudge stick reaches all nooks and closets, reciting the prayer along the way.
Repeat this process for any additional lower levels which may exist. Essentially, you're moving from the main floor, to the bottom of the property, to the top of the property.
Upper Level / Attic
When you have walked clockwise along the entire inner perimeter of all lower levels, then slowly walk back up all the stairs to the main floor.
If there are more floors above the main floor, then walk to the base of the first flight of stairs, recite the magick prayer, and slowly ascend the stairs to the next floor. Walk clockwise along the perimeter of the next floor, continuing to recite the magick prayer and spreading the smoke from the smudge stick, until you are back where you started near the top of the stairs. Repeat this process for each additional upper floor.
If there is an attic where you can safely stand and walk, then continue these steps up into the attic. If the attic is nothing more than a crawl space, then you can rest in the entrance to the crawlspace and simply hold the smudge stick above your head and recite the magick prayer three times (enough time for the smoke from the smudge to reach all the corners of the attic crawlspace).
When all upper floors have been thoroughly smudged, then walk back down the stairs to the main floor, back to the front door where you first started. Again face inward, with your back to the front door, and recite the Haunted Place Cleansing magick prayer one last time.
Extinguish the smudge stick in the bowl, and the cleansing is done.
Haunted Place Cleansing Magick Prayer
Santa Muerte, bless this place,
With your power, and your grace.
In peaceful love, escort the dead,
Away from here, so they may rest.
Holy Death, do move your hand,
Remove all ghosts, on this land.
The time has come for them to go,
To leave the living here alone.
To clear a haunted home or building of lingering ghosts. To clear a home of unwanted spirits, poltergeists, and other energies of the dead.
You Will Need
- 1 Sage Smudge Stick - to remove and repel negative energy; to cleanse physical areas. If in a communal living situation, like an apartment or condo, you can use sage incense, as this should create less smoke. If you use incense, you can carry several sticks in case your first stick expires before the working is complete.
- 1 Black Bowl - to hold beneath the smudge stick as you move throughout the home. Can also be used to hold the smudge stick when it gets too hot to hold in the hand, and to extinguish the smudge stick when the working is done. You may substitute with a brown bowl if you are able to find a brown Santa Muerte rosary (see below).
- Sand / Dirt - to place in your bowl. To distribute the heat from the smudge stick if you rest it in the bowl, to catch any ashes, and to extinguish the smudge stick when the working is done. Enough to fill the bowl at least halfway.
- 1 Black Santa Muerte Rosary - to represent the Santa Muerte as you move throughout the home. You may also use the image of the Santa Muerte on any black cord, if you do not have a rosary, and you may substitute with a brown Santa Muerte rosary, or an image of Santa Muerte on a brown cord, if you have these colors available. Brown rosaries are not very common, but either color will work well in this case. Remember, all aspects of Santa Muerte are the same Santa Muerte. Black is commonly associated with the breaking and releasing of negative energy, and brown is commonly associated with spirits or energies from the Land of the Dead.
