One of the most powerful and healing forms of magic we have is the power to control our environment. This knowledge is one of the most undervalued tools we utilize in our magical tool belts!
Many witches and muggles are not aware of how much power their homes have over their lives, but it is connected to so many things. While things have an energy to them, there is a lot more than just the stuff in our homes that could be impacting you. Magical cleaning practices can help you physically and emotionally.
Dust is toxic, dust alone makes us physically very sick. Like dust, there is also energy in homes that absolutely can be toxic. The linguering of a negative event, conversation, or illness for example can become like dust in your home.
This is not a new concept, at the end of winter people have long celebrated the tradition of spring cleaning. After being closed inside for the cold months, people have always known the importance of home cleansing. It is not a coincidence that the besom or broom is often a beloved association of the witch through history. The healers, the women, knew the importance of clean homes and keeping the negative or stagnant energy out.
So what if I just want to make art, sip tea, wear my cozy socks, read books, and work if I must? What if the cleaning gean just is not something that was passed to me? I know it is hard, as an adventurer myself, I have had to teach myself to care about these things because I wanted to be my best. Are you really your best self?
There is so much healing in cleaning. What I want to do is help empower other witchy women like myself to find some daily magical practices that help bring out our best selves.
