Shy Owl’s Soap Box

For this you will need:
Silver Taper Candles (at least one per room but more is okay)
One Silver or White Pillar Candle
Fast Luck Oil
House Blessing Oil
Dragon’s Blood crumbled
A Candle Plate for the pillar candle

A few hours before midnight, it is a good idea to smudge your house completely. For this you will simply need a sage bundle which you will lite and carry from room to room, allowing the smoke to do its job. A spray of sea salt water can be sustituted for this. For this you will simply fill an empty squirt bottle with distilled water and about a tablespoon of sea salt or table salt. A drop of rosemary oil is a nice addition to this. You will then spray every surface in your home that will not be adversely effected by the moisture.

Annoint all the candles with the oils. Remeber to point the wick towards yourself and apply the oil towards you. This brings the positive energy to you.

Set each of the taper candles around the house about an hour before midnight. My Momma always put dimes in the windows, so whatever your traditions are, set them in place at the same time you set the tapers.

As you light each candle you will say “May the Light of the Mother bless and prosper this home.” You can substitute Creator for Mother if that makes you more comfortable.

I would place the pillar on the plate and then on the kitchen table. Sprinkle the Dragon’s Blood around the pillar candle in a clockwise motion. The excess can be burned on a charcoal brick.
At midnight (don’t worry if it is a few minutes after) you will light the pillar candle and say’
“Mother, pour your blessings on our home. Upon us, wealth, happiness, health and wisdom are bestowed. All worries and cares are removed with ease. So I will it, so it shall be.”

Have a Blessed New Year
