A house blessing is a common ritual used when moving into a new dwelling.
When moving into a new home a common problem may be that you feel disturbed by The atmosphere left by the previous occupants. This matter can be dealt with  Fairly easily to change the atmosphere to suit yourself and family.

Another time a house blessing may be called for is when it becomes necessary to Cleanse an occupied dwelling of negative circumstances, such as death, Disagreements, hatred, or anger. The main function is to clean the house of all Unwanted energies or beings, to seal portals to the outside world, and to make It a sacred and personal space.

A piece of red ribbon or thread

Myrrh

Bless yourself with colour. For this purpose you can do this in the home.

Tie the rowan twig with the piece of red ribbon or thread and carry it around The whole house in a deosil direction [clockwise] in every room and space, Mentally sweeping out old energies. Sweep these out of the front door as if they Were dust.

Go out of the house by the front door, light the new white candle and carry it In. Anoint the door posts and lintel of the entrance doorway with a mix of Essential oils using the fingertips.


Taking the candle, enter each room of the house in turn, walking around eachbRoom in a deosil direction, and at the same time, visualizing bright newnlight  Entering the space. Facing the North wall of each room, draw a blessing invoking Pentagram [head point up] with the candle flame. Do the same at each doorway

You can also anoint each doorway as you did the main entrance to the dwelling.

When you have been through each room of the house and you return to the mian

Again use your candle to draw a circle about you in a deocil direction As though you were casting a circle. You may wish to use an athame for this Circle. Those who dwell in the house should now gather in this circle so as
to Raise a cone of energy to fill the house with power and Protection. Before snuffing out the candle, recite together a blessing that is  Suitable to your home, those who dwell in it and the circumstance that has Brought you to perform a home blessing.

Here is a simple blessing:

"Powers of Air, Fire, Earth, Water and Spirit,
I invite you to dwell within this home.
Share your qualities and powers with those who dwell here.
In Love, I bid you hail and welcome."

To Bless Your Book of Shadows

A Blue Candle
A Purple Candle
A Red Candle
A Green Candle
A Yellow Candle


Whether your BOS is a heavy-bound journal, a small personal diary, or a
3-ringed notebook, this spell will guard your book and enchant its pages. On
the night of the Full Moon, cast your circle and place your BOS on your
alter. Situate 5 candles (Purple, green, yellow, red, and blue) around your
book in a rough pentagram shape.

If you see fit, you can place the candles in their correct positions:
Purple
Blue ~ Green
Red ~ Yellow

Light the candles, starting with the purple and ending with the blue, and
say this or another verse: By the powers of center (north, south, east,
west), The forces of spirit (earth, air, fire, water), I bless and protect
this Book of Shadows From all unwanted forces and beings. With your power
hand, athame, or wand, draw an invoking pentagram on your BOS's cover and
say:

May no unprepared eye or hand behold this Blessed Book of Power.
Ancient Mother, behold this book.
Guard and bless its pages. Ancient Father, behold this book.
Guard and bless its pages.
By the powers of the Moon and stars above me.
So shall it be.

With this, the ritual is done. Some chose to bury the candles. Others choose
to use them for another spell. It's your choice what you do. It is
recommended that this spell is done for the 4 sabbats to mark your progress
and increase in power, but it also can be done once a year on that same
month's Full Moon.
