Moon Phase

New Moon

Materials Needed

 2 boxes regular table salt
 1 big box of baking soda
 Large tea light candles with metal container bottom
 Essential Oil (calming scent)
 Broom & Dust Pan
 Vacuum with clean bag
 Dusting cloths/feather duster
 Music for background-upbeat is best
 Physical help if needed

Preparation

 Pour the salt and baking soda into a large bowl. Add about 20 drops of the essential oil. Mix oil into the salt/baking soda mixture thoroughly.

 Place about 3 drops apiece of the essential oil
into each tea light. Place the candles where they are going to be able to
burn completely unattended and not interfere with anything *such as curtains, shelf above
them, ect.*

 Gather CDs with upbeat music. This can be any music that is upbeat, inspiring, soft, calming, relaxing, non-violent related, cleansing in how it makes you feel, etc.

Process

 Open all windows.

 Light candles throughout house in EVERY room. Be sure to place in locations where you do not have to worry about leaving it to burn continuously. Do not place near curtains or under shelves.

 Turn music on in background making sure you either have it playing long enough for the process to be completed or that you can hear it to keep it going with a new CD.

 Take the salt mixture into the first room. Cast the salt across the floor, into the carpets, under furniture (this is where physical help might be required for moving furniture), in the corners, and on the window sills. With every handful of salt mixture you cast out, say the following: "In the names of the Lady and Lord, I banish negative thoughts, habits, words, vibrations, and emotions from this room and home. So Mote It Be!"

 In each room, wait about 5 minutes. During this wait time, meditate and imagine the negative energies retreating from the room. Then sweep or vacuum the salt from the carpets and dust all surfaces. Let the candle(s) in the room completely burn out. After completely cleaning up the salt, say the following: "As Above, So Below, IT IS DONE!"

 After every room has been completely cleansed, dispose of the dust and dirt. This can be burned or buried. Once candles have burned out, dispose of the metal cups that are left over.

 Ground yourself and perform meditation to help keep self relaxed. Eat to replace the carbohydrates you spent while cleansing the house. This will fill your energies and help ground you as well.

I wasn't really sure what to call this blog.

 I have so many health issues right now and I feel so much negative energy around me and my home, but how do I get rid of it? I am so tired and so depressed all the time. I feel like everything is falling apart. How can I do anything with the negative energy like this? Is there maybe something I can do or am I lost? I feel lost.

If you are reading this and might know of something please help.

 Bright Blessings.

I was wondering...why doesn't any of the Wiccans and/or Pagans make any music? I am not talking rap or the chants or anything like that. I mean like some slower rock or even country style. There are all these groups I have heard of and all of it is either talking with background music or chants. That isn't really what I want to go on a trip with my fiance listening to when he is driving especially since he is non-Wiccan/Pagan. I don't know maybe I am just thinking weird.

I have two groups on CovenSpace. The links are below here.
