Saying:

" I consecrate this container to aid in my Craft,
that the spell I now weave will take hold and last."

Heat spring water in the bowl over a tea light or in the pot on a burner.

When the water is hot, add the following herbs, speaking after each..

Star Anise:

" Let all negativity be deflected from this place";

One Bay Leaf:

"As the sent of this leaf moves through this place may purification enter into space";

One teaspoon Sage:

"Though sage I now make this spell manifest, that with peace and protection this space will be blessed.

For as I will"

So mote it be!
