Blessing Your Home

The home is the center of our lives, and as such should also be blessed. It is a place we return to each day, our safe haven, our castle, our sacred space. My home may not look like the castle shown here but on many levels it is, it is my strong hold where I return each day to find my own center and re-charge again making it a place we should always keep blessed and cleansed.
Here is a non complicated way to bless your home…simple and effective…

If possible you need to circle its boundaries clockwise with your favorite incense or if you have one, a sage bundle. While walking say, “Air bless my space, to be a space of love, happiness and peace” Keep repeating this making sure you go around every room of your home and outside around its boundary.
Repeat the same steps outdoors and in with a red candle while saying, “Fire bless my space, to be a space of love, happiness and peace”.
Repeat again with a bowl of water, as you go around outdoors and in every room sprinkling the water say, “Water bless my space, to be a space of love, happiness and peace”.
Finally repeat again with a bowl of salt while sprinkling say, “Earth bless my space, to be a space of love, happiness and peace”

Once you have completed your blessing with the elements finish the blessing by sitting quietly in a favorite room and begin to visualize a wonderful blue sphere of light enclosing the whole of your house keeping it safe and warm and filled with loving energy.

We are approaching the Birch Moon and January is a very popular time for blessings, begin your New Year with a house blessing, what a wonderful and positive way to welcome in the year!

New Quartz Crystal Points

When we received in this wonderful shipment of quartz points our youngest daughter Lilly (2 years old) asked if they where the moon? She thought they where pieces of the moon, so we decided to name each special piece after a God or Goddess — this crystal has been named after the Celtic Goddess Branwen of love and beauty!

Selecting Crystals

Have you ever had a crystal that caught your eye and you knew you just had to get it, you where just drawn to it? It’s called following your intuition, probably the most popular way in choosing. Quite often we also notice crystals that we just don’t seem to like. The next time you do this, take a moment to think why. Quite often it is these crystals that we need the most, alot of times it is these very crystals that contain the properties that touch issues in our lives we like to keep hidden or out of thought not wanting to deal with, as with it comes guilt, anger and painful memories. Working with these crystals that touch sensitive issues can bring about a release of emotions that will leave you feeling better, allowing you to move on without repressed emotions. So next time you come across that “not so pretty” crystal, investigate it’s properties and listen to your inner knowing, purchasing a book listing crystals and their properties is a good way to become familiar with a varied selection.
