what you gather

  • ·a smoke source (a candle and dried rosemary in a fire-safe dish work well if you don't keep bundles)
  • ·a fire-safe dish
  • ·a window you can open

the working

  1. Iopen a window first, in the room you're starting in.
  2. IIlight the rosemary from the candle flame until it smolders (blow out any open flame, keep only smoke).
  3. IIIcarry the dish through every room, moving clockwise from the front door.
  4. IVpay extra attention to closets, corners, and door frames — the places energy pools.
  5. Vspeak the incantation as you move.
  6. VIfinish at the front door, letting the last of the smoke go out through it.

she speaks

"Whoever lived here before, I release you with respect. This space starts fresh with me. It's mine now."

she expects

A felt sense of the space becoming genuinely yours, often within the first working — repeat if the space still feels borrowed after a few weeks.

she warns

Use a fire-safe dish and never leave smoldering material unattended. Ensure good ventilation.
