Magick In The Mundane

Magick in the Mundane

At every Dark Moon, deep clean the house (Hekate's Deipnon is generally a time of purgation but it can still serve as a monthly cleaning mark). Sweep the floors and wash them. One can wash them with salt water and, after that, basil water in order to protect against evil spirits, ensure peace and bring good fortune.

Every Sunday, clean the house to prepare for the new week and do a little bit of magick to call in good spirits and kick out the bad.

Every Sunday, cast a divination spread to find out what the week entails, what omens to look out for, what to get involved in and not to get involved in etc. A geomancy chart is quite good for this because its easy to cast (once you get the hang of it) and shows a good amount of detail.

Every Dark Moon, dispose of all the offerings that have been gathered as an offering to the Wandering Dead and the Mistress Hekate.

In lieu of Sabbat celebrations, get in tune with things by practical work. During the transition into the colder months, wash down the house, wash the bedding and put extra blankets, if you have the ability to gather firewood for the hearth, do so etc.

In lieu of Yule Rituals, simply celebrate by use of spiced teas and spice cakes.

To welcome the spring, bring flowers into the house and place them on the dining table or some focal point.

Always step into buildings with your right foot.

Always give the first bit of bread to the spirits of the house.

Salt water is good for cleansing, basil water good for fortune, cinnamon water good for money and businesses, chamomile for protection against curses and anger.

Wash your clothes in heavily diluted salt water.

Sprinkle chamomile/lavender tea over your bed and bed clothes to ensure a restful sleep. Sprinkle rosemary over it if you wish to remember your dreams or obtain a dream oracle.

Bergamot helps with the drops (A term in my family for those period sof time brought about by Depressive Disorders). and it is found in Earl Grey Tea.

Rice water for hair...

Keeping a pine branch/cone/needles over the bed protects against ill health.

Make a Kathiskos

Keep a glass of salt water or white vinegar and salt behind the front door so that people who enter have negativity diffused.

A bowl of salt, a bowl of rice or a cut up onion in each of the rooms of the house absorbs negative energy. They should have regular disposal.
