Space Clearing

**You can choose to light the white candle for burning and the incense either before or after you have cleared your mind and body but the spell candle must not be lit until you say the spell**

Firstly, prepare the ingredients on a surface in the area you wish to cleanse. This will act as a simple altar. When you feel the altar is ready, you must then sit down in front of it and relax your mind and body of any daily tensions.

When you feel you are relaxed enough, light the incense and the white candle for burning (if this candle is scented with lavender or other plants associated with the air element then thats even better!)

Take in the scents and mentally connect with the clarifying power of the air element. I usually do this by regulating my breathing, imagining energy being drawn into me from the earth with each breath as though it were a heartbeat.

When you feel you are strong enough (this may take practice and meditation, but it pays off), you must take the piece of paper with the spell written on it either in your hands or place it on the altar, as long as you can read it.

Light the spell candle and either hold it or place it on the altar in front of you to mark the start of the spell.Say/chant:

"I cleanse this,
My home,
With energy and tome,
Take out the bad,
But leave in the good.
The clap of my hands,
That hits with a thud,**
Sealed this deed,
So mote it be."

You must then snuff the spell candle quickly with your fingers, not by blowing it out, to signify the end. You must then light the spell using the second candle and let it burn in the ashtray. Allow the incense to burn out but the second candle may be snuffed. Your spell is complete.
**clap your hands together confidently and will the accumulated air energy outward from you in a sphere, cleansing the air of bad energies.
