Recite the following while burning St. John's Wort in a fireplace or censer.

"Touch the lintel and touch the wall,
Nothing but blessings here befall!
Bless the candle that stands by itself,
Bless the book on the mantle shelf,
Bless the pillow for the tired head,
Bless the hearth and the light shed.
Friends who who tarry here, let them know
A three fold blessing before they go.
Sleep for weariness - peace for sorrow
Faith in yesterday and tomorrow.
Friends who go from here, let them bear
The blessing of hope, wherever they fare.
Lintel and windows, sill and wall,
Nothing but good, this place befall."

Equipment:

Bells, light blue candles, ritual oil, a large quartz crystal, several pieces of onyx or obsidian, and two pieces of rose quartz.

The Spell:

This consists of three steps: cleansing, blessing, and sealing (protection).

Assemble your group and attune, but do not cast the circle right away. Beginning at the heart of the house, proceed deosil through every room and level, ringing the bells and asperging with salt water.

At the heart, attune again; then go through again, this time with the candles, and sprinkle rosemary in every room. You may want to sing or chant a blessing rhyme, such as

"Goddess bless this house below, Horned God bless this house above; keep it safe night and day, fill it with Their power and love."

Then return to the heart, attune, and cast the circle. Seated with linked hands, chant wordlessly(or use "Evohe" or "Om"), and with a swelling, powerful circle of sound, expand the magick circle until it encloses all the house and grounds.

Then proceed one last time, with ritual oil and stones. The large crystal stays at the heart of the house, where it has been charged by the chanting. An onyx or obsidian ward is placed over each door, and a Spirit-invoking pentagram is drawn with oil over every opening-door and window, fireplace or vent. The two rose quartz pieces are placed on either side of the main entrance into the house.

The group returns to the heart for singing and refreshments. Leave the circle up. Once the initial cleansing is done, merriment and humor are not out of place at a house blessing: they can set the tone for many happy times to come.
