Samhain Countdown Day 6

Four Corners House Protection (Samhain Edition)

It is that time of the year that I want my house to be extra secure. Every month I renew my house protection charms. They are mostly always the same except for around the Sabbats.

Around Samhain (usually in the first week) I put up (yes up because my dog will knock them over if they are on the floor) my protection bowls in the corners.

This can be done in a full home space, just one room, or just around your altar space. There are no rules against it.

What you will need;

• 4 small bowls (I use the 4 pack of glass from Dollar Tree but there is a pack of metal ones from Dollarama that will work as well, especially if you have cats or animals that could knock them over)

• 4 plates (again I use glass but you can also use aluminum disposable pie pans or small tart pans)

  • this is to catch any overflow during the month because I have always had them start to crystalize around the bowl

• salt (I use either sea salt or Himalayan pink salt but whatever you have will work)

• 4 sticks of cinnamon (if you have just powder you can just add it directly to the salt)

• 4 bay leaves

• 4 whole cloves (again if powdered is all you have/can find just add it in with the salt)

• 4 quartz crystals (or any darker crystal if you want to absorb negative energy like onyx (make sure the crystals you use can touch water)

• water (I use my moon water but normal will do if that is all you have)

How to;

• cleanse bowls and plates with incense of your choice (I like using ones associated with the Sabbat)

• add salt to all bowls, only about halfway up

  • if you are using powdered herbs here is the time to add them

• add a small bit of the moon water to the dish (not too much or it overflows faster)

• add bay leaf, whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks to your bowl

  • if you would like to write a word or symbol on the bay leaves you can also do that

• place the 4 bowls (on the plates) in the 4 corners of your house or space
