Cleaning with the Cosmos: Magical Housekeeping Spells for a Sparkling (and Spellbinding) Home

Let's face it, cleaning isn't always the most glamorous activity. But what if you could transform your mundane chores into a magical practice? With a sprinkle of intention and a dash of simple spells, you can turn cleaning your house into a ritual that cleanses not just surfaces, but also your energy.

Banishing Dust Bunnies, Not Just Dirt

As you clean, visualize yourself not just removing dust and grime, but also negativity and stagnant energy. Here are some spells you can weave into your cleaning routine:

• Mopping Magic: Add a few drops of cleansing essential oil (like lemon or lavender) to your mop bucket. As you mop, focus on symbolically washing away negativity and energetic clutter.

• Sweeping Away Stagnation: While sweeping, envision negativity and unwanted energy being swept out the door with each stroke. Chant a simple phrase like "Out with the old, in with the new!" for added focus.

  • Prior to sweeping, you can also sprinkle salt (purification and protection), cinnamon (prosperity and abundance), or other herbs on the floor. As you sweep, visualize that representation and intention being infused in your space.

• Window Washing Woes Be Gone: Cleaning windows isn't just about a clear view; it's about opening your home to fresh energy. Imagine sunlight streaming through the clean windows, bringing positive energy and opportunities.

  • You can also use diluted essential oil, protection spray, or simply just a clean fingertip on the window to draw a protection sigil or symbol on your windows to protect your space.

Infused Cleaning Solutions for an Extra Dose of Magic

Create your own magical cleaning solutions! Here are some ideas:

• Protection Spray: Infuse water with rosemary or sage (known for protection) by simmering the herbs. Use this spray to cleanse doorknobs, windows, or any area that needs energetic shielding.

• Abundance Wash: Add a few bay leaves (associated with prosperity) and cinnamon sticks (linked to abundance) to hot water. Let it steep, then strain and use this wash to clean surfaces that symbolize financial well-being, like your kitchen counters or desk.

• Love Potion (for your home, that is!) Brew a calming tea with rose petals (love) and chamomile (peace). Once cool, use this solution to wipe down surfaces in your living room or bedroom, promoting a loving and peaceful atmosphere.

Remember: Safety First!

• Always dilute essential oils before using them in cleaning solutions.

• Never ingest any magical potions not intended for or created with food grade ingredients.

• Test your cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area before using them on a larger surface.

Cleaning with Intention, Not Just Products

By incorporating these spells and magical cleaning solutions, you can elevate your cleaning routine from a chore to a ritual. Remember, the most important ingredient is your intention. As you clean, focus on the positive energy you want to cultivate in your space.

So, grab your cleaning supplies, channel your inner witch, and get ready to create a sparkling (and spellbinding) home!
