>> A house blessing can be done when you move into a home, or whenever you feel the need to cleanse and purify it. In my household, we perform a house blessing once a year, usually around the fall equinox.
>> For your house blessing, you may want to invite friends to bring their own feathers. They may accompany you as you walk through the rooms and around the perimeter of the house, strengthening and enforcing your own motions. Or you can ask each of them to take a room and lead the blessing in that room.
>> If you have a special prayer feather or feather bundle, use it in the blessing. If not, choose your most powerful feather and spend some time in meditation with it, claiming the intention that it sweep away energies.
>> Taking your feather, walk around the perimeter of each room, sweeping with the feather. Pay special attention to the corners, where stale energy can collect.
>> Pause at each door and window opening, making prayers of protection and blessing, asking that each entryway be reinforced with the energies of the Spirit.
>> End your ceremony by traveling the perimeter of the house, pausing at each of the four directions to honor the natural environment surrounding and supporting your home.
>>
You may want to leave some feathers in each room, as a convenient way to cleanse and renew the energy whenever you wish.
