Before beginning any magickal work or ritual, it's essential to cleanse the space where your energy will be focused.

Begin by physically cleaning your environment. Wipe down your surfaces using a natural, organic bench and floor cleaner. A tidy space sets the tone for clear intention.

For spiritual cleansing, you may use a smudge stick, charcoal and resin, or clearing herbs such as sage, mugwort, or any preferred blend. Always open doors and windows to allow stagnant energy to leave.

As you cleanse your space, remember to also cleanse yourself. Visualise washing all negativity down the drain - release what no longer serves your higher path. If you’re preparing for a bath ritual, your bath water will serve as your personal cleanse during the process.

Once your space and body are cleansed, sit quietly and comfortably in your sacred space. Close your eyes and visualise a radiant white light forming at the crown of your head. Imagine your eyes looking toward that point, then softening as the warm, protective light flows down through your body—neck, arms, hands, chest, hips, legs, and feet - connecting you into the earth.

Repeat quietly or aloud:
I am protected and guided always, I call in only pure light and true intent.
Repeat this phrase nine times.

From this place of grounded presence, begin preparing your altar or intention space. Anoint candles and carve them with names, initials, or symbols that align with your purpose. Focus your energy on your desire as if it is already here. Be in the now—see it, feel it, smell it, taste it. When you’re fully immersed in that vision, light your candles from left to right.

You may place spell jars, charms, or offerings on your altar while your candle burns. Charms can later be carried in your bag or kept nearby as a reminder of the work you've done and the energy you're living in.

Treat all spell tools - such as jars or mojos - with reverence. Do not open or discard them casually. Once they’ve served their purpose, bury them respectfully. Mojos can be energetically "fed" over time with a few drops of essential oil or perfume to their exterior. Never open them.

Avoid blowing out candles, as this can disperse the energy you’ve just raised. Never leave burning candles unattended. If your spell requires longer durations, burn the candle for no more than four hours at a time and snuff it out gently. Always trim wicks before relighting. Candles dressed with herbs or flowers must be watched with extra care, as they are more flammable.

When your spellwork is complete, take a few moments again to sit quietly. Call the white light back in. Offer your gratitude - for this life, for its abundance, and for the connection you’ve created. Let this love fill your heart and guide your path forward.
