How to Get Bad Spirits Out of Your Home

Place the salt cartons on the floor and prepare them for use by consecrating the salt. Consecrate the cartons of salt by either invoking a pentagram or, if you are a Christian, make the sign of the cross and ask God to sanctify the salt. Salt is a natural cleanser and absorbs negative energies.

Announce to the spirits that you are going to encircle them with salt and that they must leave or be trapped for eternity. Use a loud voice, and make sure you affirm strongly that you are going to do this and that your home will be cleansed. Reiterate that they must leave now.

Go outside of your house and pour a contiguous stream of salt about 1/2-inch wide all around in a clockwise direction. Leave a 3-foot opening in your circle.

Announce to the spirits that they now have five minutes to leave before the circle will be closed. Count down the five minutes: say out loud "four minutes left," "three minutes left," etc.

Close the circle with the salt after the five minutes. You should have felt a rush of wind come past you in the last few seconds of the countdown; this was the spirits leaving.

Say a prayer or make a blessing of thanks for bringing peace to your home. Leave the salt in place for 24 hours to ensure that the spirits are kept away.

Fill your chalice with warm water, and dissolve a couple of teaspoons of sea salt in the water. "Charge" the chalice with white light by visualizing bright white light covering the chalice and filling it with energy.

Take a bath or a shower; you must be cleansed to cleanse your house. Ask to be purified of all negative energies.

Pour the saltwater from the chalice over yourself, covering your whole body from head to foot. While you are doing this, visualize white light covering your body and removing any negative energy. Get out of the bath or shower and dry off.

Dab oil on your brow, heart and each shoulder. Ask for white-light protection from the Goddess if your are Wiccan, or ask for protection from God if you are Christian. Imagine white light surrounding you and protecting you.

Place one candle and one incense stick in each room of the house. Place one candle and incense stick at each entrance to the house. Prepare another chalice with warm water and sea salt and go through the whole house sprinkling the water, making sure you sprinkle behind doors, in closets and anywhere you think negative energy may have gathered.

Say something like: "Negative energy may not stay, I release it and send it on its way. Negative energy, I banish thee, And as my word, so shall it be!" If you are Christian you may wish to say a pray instead.
When you have finished sprinkling, light all the candles and incense. Let the candles burn right down and while they are burning, sit in a quiet place and imagine your home filling with white-light energy. You can do this ritual every few months to clear away negative energy in your home.
