Blessing Broom

Now that the yuletide season has passed and the traffic in and out of the home has finally slowed down, it is time to cleanse your home of old or unwelcome energies and boost protection for those who live there. This can be accomplished in one task. Take a new broom and tie on the following: basil (cleansing), lavender (happiness), nutmeg (good luck), gardenia (peace), cedar (cleansing), lemon slices (cleansing). Tell the broom that its function is to clean away all residue of the past year and to instill peace, happiness, and good luck for the current year. Sweep the entire house, ending at the back door. Sweep all of the old energy out. Close the door firmly and seal it with a kiss.
