Sacred Space

Needed:

  • Incense
  • Candle
  • Bowl of water
  • Salt

Hold your hands over each object, and ask that Spirit cleanse, consecrate, and regenerate the object in the name of Spirit, saying:
"Holy Mother, I cleanse this (object) of all negativity in this world and in the astral. I consecrate and regenerate this (object) in the name of the Lord and Lady."

Do the same for the other representations of the elements, the order does not matter.

Once you've done this, take three pinches of the salt and add them carefully to the water. When you finish, stir the water three times with the index finger of your dominant hand in a clockwise direction. Then hold your hands over the water and say:
"In the name of the Mother and the Father
I ask for the blessings of love, harmony, and peace upon this water."

As you say the words, imagine that the water glowing with white light. Once the light is very big, stop.

Beginning with your North object move around the room in a clockwise circle, sprinkling just a bit of the salt as you go, saying:
"I cleanse, consecrate, and empower this sacred space with the element of Earth in the name of Spirit."

When you get back to the North, say:
"So mote it be!"

Pick up the East representation and do the same thing, walking around the room in a clockwise direction, saying:
"I cleanse, consecrate, and empower this sacred space with the element of Air in the name of Spirit. So mote it be!"

Pick up the candle, walk clockwise around the room, and say:
"I cleanse, consecrate, and empower this sacred space with the element of Fire in the name of Spirit. So mote it be!"

Finally, walk clockwise around the room holding the bowl of water, sprinkling a bit as you go, saying:
"I cleanse, consecrate, and empower this sacred space with the element of Water in the name of Spirit. So mote it be."

Then walk to the center of the room, hold your hands above your head, palms facing upward, and say:
"In the name of the Lord and Lady, in the name of the Great Mother and Good Father, I cleanse, consecrate, and empower this sacred space with the element of Spirit! So mote it be!"
