Do I Need To Cleanse?

Magically cleaning stuff is just a part of witch life. Unfortunately, our dust is invisible, so most of the time we have to watch for the symptoms before we treat the cause.

Do I need to cleanse myself?

Any witch, whether they feel they are actively ‘practicing’ or not, should cleanse once a month at the very least. Once a week is better. If you have recently experienced any of the following, cleansing is a good idea.

Misfortune, bad news, high stress, arguments, or losses

An unusual streak of back luck, poor timing, clumsiness, or awkwardness

Acting in unusual and negative ways, such as being short-tempered or being angry at people you usually like

A big spiritual working, spirit contact, or an unexpected or startling magical event

If you feel as if there is a cloud around you

Running in to someone who really hates you, or being pointed out as a success in a crowd

How do I cleanse myself?

Do I need to cleanse an object?

The object was worn during a big emotional blow-up or argument

Jewelry that keeps slipping off, hurts your skin even when it never used to, or doesn’t seem to fit right for some reason

For some reason you just don’t like the object any more

You don’t like walking past it, or having it in the room

It is working incorrectly or you keep almost injuring yourself on it, even though it hasn’t physically broken

Items that seem to ‘bite’ you or hide from you

Do I need to cleanse an area?

Something negative happened there, such as abuse or a very negative argument.

Walking through the area makes you feel uncomfortable and you will go out of your way to avoid it

It feels different, as if it’s someone else’s house and you shouldn’t be there

You feel very dull or stagnant when in the area, or you feel unusual and unexpected emotions coming to you

When in doubt, cleanse - it doesn’t hurt anything.

Is cleansing always the answer? Nope. As witches, we need to be aware of when we are beat. Some things are too powerful for us to tackle alone or even with friends or a coven. Throw the object out or return it to the earth instead. Also, not every object that we can cleanse should be cleansed. Not everything is supposed to be filled with happy and bright energy. It is not always wisest or best to change something just because we don’t like it.

Witch Tip

Spray your curtains with lavender water so that when the wind blows it blows protection and peace into your home

From infusions and tinctures to oils and salves: The basics of herbal healing and the beginnings of any potion.

Decoction: A decoction is needed to extract the deeper essence from harder substances such as barks, roots and stems. Place the raw materials in a pot and fill it with fresh water. Simmer uncovered until the water lever is reduced by 1/3. Strain the resulting liquid to remove particulates then drink or use as needed.

Infusion: Pour freshly boiled water over the desired herb or planar matter, roughly 8 ounces of water per teaspoon of dried plant parts. When using fresh herbs roughly 3 times as much is required.

Oil: Place flowers, herbs or other plant parts in a sealed glass container. Fill the container with an organic oil (ex: Olive, sesame, etc…) until it is an inch above the material being used. Place the bottle somewhere warm for 2 weeks, next to a stove while cooking, on the mantle, a sunny window sill, etc. Upend the container daily to ensure the oil saturates the material.

Ointment: Heat 2 cups of pure lard to frying temperature. Add 4 handfuls of crumbled dry herbs or 6 handfuls of chopped fresh herb to the lard. Stir to to blend and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover and let sit over night. Reheat until liquid then mix in 4 tablespoons of an organic oil, this will prevent it hardening to much. Squeeze through a cheese clothe to remove solids and store in a crockery or glass container.

Salve: Mix 3 ounces of finely pulped plant parts, 7 ounces of lard and 1 ounce of beeswax. When thoroughly mixed simmer over low heat in active red pot for 1-2 hours. Remove from eat and allow to cool.

Tincture: A tincture uses alcohol to extract the properties of a herb or plant. Loosely fill a glass container with fresh or dried herbs and add some sort of food grade spirit (ex: vodka), vinegar can also be used for certain ingredients. Cork or otherwise seal the container and leave somewhere warm for 2 or more weeks.
