Hoodoo, Rootwork, Conjure
SPELL FOR BLESSING A NEW HOME, HOME
CLEANSING
Home-cleansing methods are of great importance in
African-American hoodoo folk-magic.
Here is a simple procedure for blessing a new home and ridding a house
of any unwanted
spiritual influences.
Wash down the wood work and floors with Chinese Washº
from back to front and out the front door and
throw the remaining wash water out the front door or in the front yard.
If there is no front yard, carry some of the wash water to the nearest
street intersection or crossroads and throw it to the East.
Then use a brand new broom to sweep the house from back to front and out
the front door.
Some folks also like to sprinkle Van Van Powder at the front threshold
and sweep that away from the house.
After cleaning as above, put down pinches of salt in the corners of each
room or, if you
are in a hurry, four pinches of salt at the four outside corners of the
house.
