Now, go to the new pile and, one by one, pick up each item as before. Spritz the newly-clear area with the nice-smelling air freshener.
So far, so good! Then, dust, mop, or otherwise clean the area with your cleaning supplies.
Once your space is empty, bow in front of it and admire the effects of your magic. Pick up another item and repeat step #6 until your defined space is empty. If you can’t decide where it goes in two seconds, then drop or place the item on a nearby surface (floor, bed, table, etc.). Then go immediately back to the defined area.) (You can take whatever amount of time it actually takes to put the item in its rightful place. If you do know, then go put the item away. Take two seconds (no more, no less!) and decide if you know where it belongs. Now, quickly, pick up any item from the top layer of stuff. Make a sweeping motion over the whole pile, while saying: “One, two, three, go!” Then snap your fingers with both hands. As you move your hands, make the circles larger and larger, and say these words out loud:. Begin to move your hands in counter-clockwise circles, as if you are washing a table or erasing a chalkboard. Then hold your hands out in front of you, above the clutter, as if you can draw energy from it-or throw a fire ball at it! Rub your hands together, creating some warmth. Take a moment to picture the area completely clear of the stuff that’s there. Stand in front of your cluttered area, take a deep breath and release it. Optional: A bell, finger cymbals, or other small musical instrument. A few bags or boxes, large enough to accommodate all of the clutter you’re working on (Just in case!). A lemon-water mix for kitchen counters, a natural wood cleaner for cedar chests and desks, a vacuum cleaner for carpeted floors, etc.) Cleaning supplies appropriate for the area you’re working on. (Make your own with water and a fresh-scented essential oil such as peppermint, tangerine, or sage or buy a pre-mixed blend from a natural foods store.) A spray bottle filled with a lovely-smelling natural room spritzer. #NEED THE STRENGTH TO UNCLUTTER FULL#
This is the period following the full moon, leading up to the new moon. The optimal time for a banishing spell (even banishing clutter) is when the moon is in a waning phase. Any space with a specific boundary will do. It can be any defined area: a countertop, tabletop, closet, bench, or corner, for example. So, if you’re feeling stifled by your stuff, jinxed by your junk, or just plain overwhelmed, why not give Keli’s spell a try?Ĭhoose an area to declutter.
And clutter of any kind (whether spell books, charms and trinkets, or clothing from the Pyramid Collection) can block the energetic flow and cause all kinds of bad juju. She knows from experience that the things in her environment affect her energy. The spell below is one Keli has used many times to clear clutter in a jiffy. She jots them down in her Book of Shadows and pulls them out whenever a situation seems to call for a little magical assist. Above all, she honors the divine in nature she believes in a twofold creative power which she understands as the God and Goddess (a sacred power that goes by many names) and she recognizes an inner world that is as real and vital as the outer world.įollowing her heart and her intuition, Keli is fond of creating her own magic spells. This means she draws on many Pagan traditions to craft her own earth-based spiritual path. (Who doesn’t want to be like Samantha Stephens?) But Keli isn’t that kind of witch.
Sure, she sometimes wishes she could twitch her nose and watch her house clean itself while she stands by sipping a martini. Keli Milanni, hero of the Wiccan Wheel Mysteries, is a practical Witch.
