hello loves! this is my go-to ritual for when i need a serious session of cleansing, grounding, and everything in between.
itâs best performed on a rainy day, but as always my spells and rituals are completely adaptable. if you donât have something, find a substitute; if you donât want to do something, donât do it. simple! i hope this ritual helps you get back to your own kick-ass self.
the physical space ritual (optional, but awesome)
clean your space. yes, i mean physically. having a clean, comfortable space to relax in is essential for your mental health. itâs also a great way to get any negative energy out of your body. pour all that emotion into your cleaning, and create a super-awesome space that makes you feel all warm and happy inside.Â
add something new. whether this is a storebought decoration youâve been waiting to put up, or an idea for a switch around of furniture, change something up in your space. thereâs nothing like the refreshing feeling of your space looking brand new, and youâll have something to be proud of as well!
cleanse your tools, your bed, your walls⌠do your usual space-cleansing ritual that involves deep cleansing of everything you use on a day-to-day basis. getting rid of any built up energy will make the space you spend your time in feel so much fresher, i promise you.
find a comfy space, light your favourite cleansing incense (mine is lemon) sit back and relax, and move on to the self-cleansing ritual!
the self cleansing ritual
this is best performed on a rainy day, but if you canât do that, try to visualise rain all around you. rainy mood music can help with this!
sit in a calm, comfy space where you can relax, and start to clear your mind. if you have a favourite go to method for meditation, use that. if not, i like to imagine my mind literally clearing, physically pushing all thoughts out of it.
concentrate on the sound of the rain. let the noise overtake your thoughts, and visualise the rain physically washing away any negative energy thatâs built up over time.
get cathartic. cleansing can be as gentle or as brutal as you want. got any pent up emotions? let them out now, if youâre comfortable with it. just feel whatever you need to feel, and let it go. imagine the negativity just falling away from you with the rain.
as negative energy is leaving your body, visualise your personal energy drawing positivity from the earth beneath you. feel that strength wash over your body, and envisage your whole body being filled with happiness and gentle joy.
once youâre done meditating and cleansing, take a moment to just sit and exist. take as much time as you need to chill out and wake up.
anything after this should be done as self care, for you and you alone. got a favourite tv show? watch an episode. finally got enough money for something youâve been eyeing for a while? buy that, and treat yourself. honestly, after all this you deserve a bit of self love!
so loves, thatâs what i do when i need a serious cleanse and self-love session. i hope it helps you if you use it!
if you want to support me, and keep me out of financial despair, please consider buying a tarot reading here! anything you buy will help me pay rent for me and my family, so we can avoid homelessness. thankyou so much~
a spell to help cleanse and declutter any area or aspect of your life, leaving you with the perfect degree of minimalism for you.
â˝ w h a t y o u w i l l n e e d âž
⢠one white candle of any scent, size, or shape
⢠a piece of paper
⢠a pen or pencil
⢠(optional) clear quartz of any shape or size, the clearer the better
â˝ s t e p s âž
(note: i prefer to do this during a new moon as a representation of new beginnings, and this spell will be more powerful during a new moon, but other than that the lunar phases should not affect this spell.)
1. (optional) reflect on what it is you wish to declutter with a clear quartz near your heart or head for clarity. this clarity will aid you when you need to think clearly about what is it you need, want, and will discard.
2. write down whatever it is you wish to declutter, whether it be your room, your mind, your closet, etc. or something much more specific, such as the middle shelf of your bookcase.
3. light the candle closest to whatever it is you will be decluttering.
4. let the candle burn for a minute, and quietly observe the flicker of the flame. once the minute is up, place the paper youâve written on over it, and let it burn. snuff out the candle once youâre done and let the smokey intent cleanse the area.
5. begin decluttering, and hold your clear quartz if you begin to feel overwhelmed. throwing out trash and taking out plates, cups, or other silverware is the best way to ease into this spellâs effect. you can move onto bigger messes later.
â˝ n o t e s âž
⢠sigils burned alongside the paper can be used in conjunction with this spell.
⢠this spell lasts until you go to bed, and can be repeated as many times necessary.
⢠this spell can be used as a foundation for a more specific, personalized decluttering spell. the clear and white colors allow for mixing and creativity to your heartâs content.

I believe that many of the methods used to cleanse items can also be used to charge them – the difference lies within your intention.Â
To cleanse, visualize negative energy actually leaving the object. To charge, visualize the object being filled with the energy from your chosen source.
Cleansing & Charging Methods:
Visualization – imagine a ball of energy forming around the item to either cleanse it or give it power (the color of the ball could correspond to your intent, i.e. white or blue for cleansing, red for power, etc.)
Earth –bury the object in soil or sand – a potted plant will also work
Water –submerge the item in running waterÂ
Salt Water–anoint or submerge the item in a salt water solutionÂ
Gem Water – anoint or submerge the item in a corresponding crystal elixirÂ
Herbal & Floral Water – anoint or submerge the item in a solution of corresponding herbs or flowersÂ
Sea Salt – sprinkle sea salt over/around the item or submerge it in a container of sea saltÂ
Essential & Infused Oils– anoint item with corresponding oilÂ
Smoke – pass the item through incense smokeÂ
Fire –pass the item through an open flameÂ
Storms –leave item outside during a thunderstorm
Wind & Breath–leave item outside when itâs windy or use your breath to essentially breathe your intent into the item
Crystals/Crystal Grid –surround the item with crystals of corresponding intent (can be arranged in a pattern to form a crystal grid and enhance energy) or simply pass the crystal over the item
Dried/Fresh Herbs & Flowers – sprinkle mixture over/around item or submerge the item in a mixture of herbs and/or flower petalsÂ
Sound – use a bell, whistle, or something similar to clear the space and associated items of negativity; alternatively, you can place the item near a set of speakers to absorb the energy from music and other soundsÂ
Sigils – craft and use sigils that correspond with your intent (you can set the item on top of the sigil, draw the sigil on the item, etc.)
Technology –set the item near your phone/tablet/etc while itâs chargingÂ
Moonlight & Starlight –leave item in the path of these natural lights, either outside or in a windowsill overnightÂ
Sunlight –leave item in the path of sunlight for a few hours during the day (before sunset, of course), either outside or in a windowsillÂ
Divination –pair the item with a rune or tarot/oracle card that matches your intent in a small containerÂ
Incantations – create an incantation that states your intent and speak it aloud while holding the item
Physical Energy– engage in physical activity of some sort (exercise, dancing, sex, etc.) and direct that energy into the item
Actual cleaning–physically and literally clean any items with an appropriate solution (soap, alcohol, etc.); the energy put into cleaning can also be used to charge the item
Caution: some items, especially crystals, are not suitable for exposure to sunlight, water, or salt.Â
Cleansing is: removing negative* energy from an item or space
Charging is: instilling energy into an item with specific intentions
(*Note: cleansing will remove all attached energy from an object unless it is a talisman that possesses power naturally on its own, such as a crystal or herb. A talismanâs natural energy will remain in tact after a cleansing but any prior chargings, blessings, enchantments, etc. will be removed along with any negative energy)
