This is a particularly loose ritual format. It is meant to be customized to the needs of your life and your family. It is meant to allow you to call upon whatever pantheon you usually work with.
It is split over two days because I know that my own energy and time constraints would not allow me to do everything this ritual would require with only one day to do it in. You may even spread “day 1″ over the course of a week (or longer). If clutter has really gotten out of control, or your time/energy/health is significantly limited feel free to take as much time as you need to get rid of the clutter, then spend a day getting the house company clean, then another day to do the house warding/blessing.
Day One
Clean your home, top to bottom. Open the windows and let the house air out. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Do what your time and health allow. But do pay attention to major piles of clutter and clean the important items, trying to clean/declutter something in each room. You want each room to be noticeably different in appearance and “feel.”
While you are cleaning chant something along the lines of:
Dirt be gone
and clutter too
May this home be filled
with troubles few
Day Two
Take blessed salt water and spurge (sprinkle) each room. A little goes a long way.
Take incense that you enjoy and go through each room, hitting every corner, even inside closets.
Using your athame, a crystal point, or your dominant hand draw either a pentacle or a rune of protection over every entry into your home. This includes every window, every door, every skylight, every drain, every electrical outlet, etc.
If you live in a detached house you can also go outside and draw a protective circle about your residence, walking deosil/sunwise/clockwise, again using your athame, a crystal point, or your dominant hand.
Once your home is completed cleansed and warded it is time to bless it.
Carry a lit candle into each room and call upon the Divine to fill it with love and light and whatever blessings you feel the need for. You may use the same words in each room along the lines of
God and Goddess hear my call
Touch each floor and touch each wall
Touch each table and touch each chair
Fill each room with blessings fairGod and Goddess hear my cry
Bless each hello and each goodbye
May each guest be trebly blessed
with peace with joy and with restBless each room, bless each bed
Touch each heart and touch each head
God and Goddess hear my plea
Bless my family and bless me
Or you can offer up a customized request for each area of your home.
- You can bless the kitchen by asking that may all who enter it be nourished in body and spirit.
- You can bless the children’s room by asking that it be filled with peaceful sleep and idyllic dreams.
- You can bless the master bedroom by asking for love and passion.
- You can bless the office/art area etc. by asking for focus and creativity.

This is perfect… I have a friend who recently asked me to do a cleansing smudge on her home – as her family has suffered many hardships over the last year – and I can definitely incorporate a lot of this into my own ritual. Thank you!

This is a very helpful spell. Thank you. I’m new to the wiccan life and I’m very solitary, but I just moved into my first apartment and I wanted to bless it. If you have any helpful hints, comments, or can point me in the right direction I would truly be grateful. My e-mail is clarinet_extraordinaire@yahoo.com.
Thank you.
