Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Representations for each door of your house
- A white candle to represent each guardian
Step1
Cleanse the house. Since you'll be calling the existing spirits in and around the home, it's important that the house is cleansed so you don't invite any unwanted energies.
Step2
Gather up your representations and bring them to a comfortable room in the house. Representations can be anything you like: pieces of art, statues, pottery, a toy; anything that has meaning for you. They will be placed near each door to represent that entryway' s house guardian.
Step3
Place a white candle beside each representation. Light the first candle and invite the spirits to protect that door. Repeat for each of the representations. Sit quietly with the guardians until you feel a real sense of connection.
Step4
Now comes the fun! Introduce your guardians to each member of the household including any pets. Ask the guardians to protect your house and all of its members.
Step5
Take each representation to its designated location and blow out its candle.
Step6
These white candles should only be used to call upon your house guardians and they should be lit in the same place you called the spirits. Be sure to call on the guardians whenever a new member of the house is added. Also, keep your guardians informed if you plan on having guests so they will be protected in your house in the same way.
Step7
Don't neglect your guardians. Call upon them and meditate with them regularly so you'll get to know each other. Let them know before major changes are made within or to the house and show your appreciation for their protection by giving them occasional offerings.
