. Aerosol mists - brew a minty-lemon potion, let it cool, then strain & decant it into a spray bottle as room mist. Or use lavender essential oil and a bit of alcohol in water to make a spray.
. Crystals - place white quartz or selenite in two diagonally opposed corners of a room and iron-based hematite in the other 2 for a crystal grid.
. Fanning - use a hand-fan, or just your hand, to fan as you walk a widdershins circle; see in your mind as white light is spread around.
. Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram - this ritual clears oppressive energies.
. Oil diffusers - either the oil & water in a dish over a candle type or the reed oil diffuser type that’s air freshener. Use sage, lavender or make a blend of any of the citrus scents - lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit oils.
. Onion - this folk magic method uses your broom to roll a peeled, whole, sweet-onion around the floor of all rooms and finally out the door to be properly disposed of.
. Salt - place pinches of salt in all the corners, on window sills & across doorways. Sweep up & discard; replace monthly. Or spritz the area using a branch or twig bundle dipped into blessed salt water.
. Sound-making - ring a bell or tap a tuning fork, drum or a spoon on a glass, or pot lids as you circle around the area.
. Sunlight - open the blinds and curtains, if indoors, and let purifying UV sunlight pour into the room; open a window.
. Sweeping - sweeping a widdershins circle with your
broom or air-sweep with whisk broom around your space.. Vinegar - place small bowls with 2-3 TBLS of vinegar in the corners & allow it to evaporate; use vinegar as an aerosol.
doesn't have to be like full size broom or anything. A wisk style with a few branches tied to a wand or other small branch (oak for strength for instance) Then utilizing the energy of the herb towards the work at hand, like maybe a rosemary for better memory, or pine for protection, lavender for peace, geranium for fertility and love, etc...it's a great way to add to the energy of the circle. Offer herbs to the land spirits after or burn if you have fire, or perhaps dry to burn later or make a potpourri sachet in line with the magic of the ritual.
