My Cleasing

[willowshadows]

Seeing that I cannot afford elaborate things to use, I use sea salt and my mind.

I use sea salt and water mixed...making sure the sea salt has desolved then I sprinkle or douse whatever it is (ex: a candle) that needs to be cleansed. Then I imagine light and love blessing the object.

Now, this may not work or feel right to some, just wanted to share.

I have done the same thing myself. And i also like to set items out in the moonlight over night or in the sun all day, depending on the item involved.

It works just fine. I did the same basic thing for my Athames', only with fire. During a Yule ritual, I buried them, to the hilt, in the fire under the cauldron. I left them there for the duration of the ritual, visualizing the Salamanders of the fire imbuing them with the power of Fire and cleansing them. I have used sea salt to cleanse other things as well. In fact, I have several items on my Altar right now buried in salt to cleanse them.

Sea Salt is good!

I've gotten the habit when I clean my rugs, I put water with sea salt in it too.

[willowshadows]

I love it and it works so well for me! ;D

[gypsyrose]

I do the same thing to all my objects too. It always works for me.

I have used sea salt also. But if I don't have any on hand plain old salt will work as well.
i have also cleansed tool with incense smoke. Visuallizing the smoke carrying away negativity.

Excellent! Using the smoke of the incense is a great way to cleanse. Using the smoke of the Yule fires to carry your goals to the next year is the same principle. I use incense smoke to cleanse the circle I've cast. You're right, it works wonderfully!
