A Cleansing House Blessing
Offered by
R. Persephone
Persephone, Goddess
of the Underworld, sister light and sister dark, hear my call, heed my
words! Lady betrayed, Thou hast firsthand knowledge of innocence stolen.
Thou knowest the feel of the separation of She who gave you life. Be with
us now in the underworld this house has become, aid us in healing the pain
that has ripped it asunder. Aid us as we search for the seeds of new life
in its darkness.
Demeter, Mother Goddess, gifter of life, bestower of growth, hear my call,
heed my words! Mother betrayed, Thou hast firsthand knowledge of the separation
from Thy child. Thou knowest the pain of a child violated. Be with us now
in the empty shell stripped of innocent laughter. Aid us in planting and
germinating the new life to heal this void.
Arachne, Spider Woman, weaver of life, hear my call, heed my words! Thou
who stands at the crossroads of the beginning and the end. Gift us with
Your silver threads of making as we enter this darkness. Aid us in re-weaving
the fabric of life and beauty needed to bind the wounds and heal this home.
Maiden, Mother, Crone, hear my call, heed my words! Thou hast been at our
side through each turning of the cycle. Be with us now as we end the turning
of this cycle. Gift us with the understanding that follows the pain. Bestow
upon us the comfort that will heal this wound. Strengthen us with the shield
of knowledge to reach the new beginning. Silence the cries that have stilled
the growth.
Bless this house, these walls, and the very air within these rooms. Sickness
and evil once lived her, but now it is gone. This house was meant to sustain
Love. Let the healing energy once again fill this air. Let the fire of
creative passion once again illuminate the rooms. Let the Love flow from
all who enter wash its walls. Let the seeds of new life and new beginnings
plant themselves in its foundation.
By the power of Maiden, Mother, Crone, and we who are Her children, no
evil may again cross this threshold. By Her daughters who are by birthright
Goddess, we do so decree.
