Simple Door Blessing Ritual

Simple Door Blessing Ritual


A very simple ritual anointment of one’s door with fat, honey, or oil. Incant:

“Spirit of the house, eat and always give us good fortune in this place belonging to you.”

Clean the door and purify the space first. Seal and ward after. Iron horse shoes, gorgoneia, witch bells, protective symbols / seals / sigils, pictures of guardian spirits, ropes of garlic / chilies, witch ladders, protective powders, witches’ salt, enchanted door wreaths / mats, or aloe plants (etc.) could be used for physical warding. If using witch bottles, keep them outside of the house. It would be unwise to neglect energetic warding in addition to physical warding.

Repeat this door blessing occasionally; seasonally, every new moon, sacred days, etc. Pick what works for you.
