Begin by putting everything in its proper place. Clean your house to perfection, open the windows, and bless all your majickal implements. Next, moving always to your left (counterclockways, or widdershins) anoint the doors, windows, and all openings of your home with a mixture of the following items:

• water - Water
• fennel - Fire
• oats - Earth
• pine - Air
• sage - Wisdom

These represent all elements of the majick circle. For a blend that is less bulky, place the herbs in hot water to steep, then strain and use only the aromatic tea. As you go, visualize bright light pouring from your hands into every area that houses shadows, saying:

"Where light dwells, all darkness flee;
Spirit move away from me.
This home is mine, I will not fear.
Your presence is not welcome here."

Follow the entire circuit of your home, repeating the procedure in every room. When finished, go outside if possible, making one full loop around the exterior. The leftover water can be refrigerated or frozen for future use. Finally, return inside and move clockways through each room while burning the following herbs:

• basil
• dill
• marjoram

These herbs encourage blessings and joy. Invoke the protection of your personal God/dess on your sacred space of home. Then close the windows, leaving any negative spiritual energies outside.

A Word of Caution: Spiritual entities should not be banished or called for amusement. It is best to contact a knowledgeable, experienced psychic for advice or assistance before undertaking any spells of this kind.

The best timing for this spell is during in-between times, noon, midnight, dusk and dawn. Halloween. Seasons of late fall and winter. Moon in Libra. Eclipses. Wednesday.
