Hearth and Home Blessing



The hearth and home are often safe, sacred spaces in pagan traditions. The home can be a private retreat, a place to recharge, and a blessed spot to gather. A house can be just a shelter, but the concept of "home" implies nourishment, abundance, strength, community, and more. Energizing and tending to one's home can enrich daily life and lay a foundation from which greater magickal workings can flow.

The greatest attention to house energies often come when moving to a new residence. This is often a special focus of apartment dwellers, where the tenants not only turn over more often, but the previous residents are rarely met and are assumed to not have the same respect for the space as an actual owner might show. Many new homeowners would like to not only honor their accomplishment at purchasing a home but bless their new space and having a small ritual often brings that essential feeling of "mine."

If your moving pace isn't the hurried rush that seems to accompany many house moves, you may get a chance to be in the space while it is empty of possessions and furniture. If you do, take a short time and just walk through the apartment or house. Notice how the space feels to you. Notice where it is light and dark, and see if you can feel how air currents flow in the residence. Does the house make noises as you walk around? Can you hear sounds from other nearby residents or from outside?
