This is one of the most important skill to learn for beginner witches. Practicing magic and witchcraft tends to attract a lot of positive and negative energies, so it is important for you to regularly cleanse your home to reset the space. There are many different ways of cleansing your home using the 4 elements.
–
🌪️ Start by opening your windows and letting some fresh air in. 🌪️ Burn palo santo wood to clear the air and reset energies. 🌪️ In a small cauldron, burn cleansing herbs like rosemary or lavender and walk from room to room to disperse the smoke.

🔥 If possible, let the sunlight in as much as possible. 🔥 Inscribe the word ‘peace’ on a candle and let it burn out. 🔥 Place burnt-looking crystals like smoky quartz and black tourmaline in your entrance as they collect negative energies.
