All About: House Spirits
Well, it's about time I brought them up once again, in their own post. This guide may be on the lengthy side, but it's here to explain what they are and how to begin working with them.
What the hell is a house spirit?
House spirits come from all different cultures and folklore. Known as, you guessed it, guardians of the home. They protect the house itself, the land around it (they get along with the land spirit(s) most of the time), and they also protect the family if treated right. A home certainly doesn't feel like one without these presiding spirits helping. In fact it gives the home a life of it's own.
What do they look like? Are there types?
Across many cultures, there are these spirits and the folklore varies for each. In my tribe, we consider them to usually be little dwarves or goblins that must be appeased, otherwise they will cause bad luck or even resort to curses. Regular offerings are required. Then there are the land spirits, which is a whole other topic. If given regular offerings and respect, we believe that they will not only generate good luck and events for us, but protect us and help with our daily lives. For the witches of the tribe, they will often assist in rituals and spells. That all being said, this has carried over into my personal beliefs. Many cultures describe house spirits assisting with the same things and if they are displeased, bad occurrences following. As far as looks go, it depends on the folklore surrounding your area and your cultural background(s). You may believe in one or two types or an entire spectrum of house spirits from the realm of the fair folk. You could have one house spirit or twelve. It's entirely up to your home. In some cultures, there are door spirits (yes, that guard the doors) and ones that work in the kitchen, among others for different functions of the home.
Okay so, I live in an apartment building. Can I still work with them?
Yes. When I used to live in apartments, I found it was an either/or situation regarding how many were there. Some buildings have only a few that roam around, sometimes only one that protects the entire building, or there may be multiple hanging out in one apartment. Most complexes have multiple however. And then for the lucky buildings that have one for each apartment...those are nice. I've included a short offering ritual at the end of this post, which you can use to ask questions about whatever you wish to know, including how many there are in the building.
What kind of offerings do they like?
Milk, honey, bread, and herbs are a safe bet. They especially like bread baked by you, as they see it as a labor of love and that your energy is in there. Taking time to tend to the garden and taking care of your property & home in general are things they like to see. Don't leave the house a huge mess, as many prefer a tidy atmosphere. Not an offering per say, but important to mention nonetheless.
What should I put on their altar?
I keep my altar for them in the kitchen, as it is in a place that is undisturbed and can't be torn up by my land shark (aka, my dog). I also feel that most of the house spirits I have worked with in my life enjoy hanging out in this area of the home. They seem to like assisting in kitchen magic and cooking in general and the warmth of the stove. You may also want to include a small area near the front door if you believe that there are separate spirits for there. I'd recommend a shelf, as it won't take up as much space in the entryway.
Okay, back on track. Plants (if the space gets enough light), a cauldron, candles, offering bowls, a chalice, glass, or mug of some sort. A special spoon to stir the drinks or potions with. Decorative pieces from nature. Things you craft by hand.
How can I begin working with them?
Anytime, in reality. However, you do have to develop an actual relationship with them. This can take time and the more you speak to them, give offerings, and invite them in as you cook or clean, the more they will be willing to help with your spellwork, wards, and healing. Try the introduction ritual I've included. See what happens. Document it. Try again another time the following week. And just...keep going. Make sure that they know you haven't forgotten about them by leaving a small nightly glass of milk out before you head to bed. It doesn't have to be filled to the rim (hey, cost of living is ridiculous right now). It can be a splash with a squirt of honey added. Or a sprinkle of herbs on their bowl. Or maybe a small helping of what you whipped up for dinner. Point is to show them that you acknowledge and respect their presence. That will be the biggest component. Do the ritual once a week until you start seeing signs of contact. Once you do, make your own ritual with them. Incorporate them into your daily life. Ask them to help with blessing your cooking. Ask them to make sure your wards are in tact. Ask the door spirit to purify the energy of anyone that walks in & make bad people resist coming by. Start seeing if they'd like to sit in on a ritual, if you feel comfortable with that idea. Ask for a blessing when you clean the house & to assist you in removing all the bad energy.
Brief introductory ritual
To introduce yourself to your house spirits, I recommend sitting in your kitchen. If you consider your hearth to be the living room, you can choose to do it there. Make sure to bring offerings with that you feel will be applicable. Freshly baked bread (from your own hands) and some milk with honey stirred in would make a wonderful first treat. I usually introduce myself in a new home by bringing these treats to the location of choice, and start by speaking my intention aloud which goes something like:
"Spirits of the home,
Guardians and Protectors of this dwelling,
Please come sit with me and enjoy these offerings.
I wish to have a working relationship where we can honor, respect, and help each other."
I usually spend about ten-twenty minutes meditating after this is spoken aloud. Sometimes you will feel a strong presence. This is the time I take to set up my kitchen altar as well. If there is a place that I am able to create a mini-altar by the front door, I do so there for the door spirits. The land spirits get their own little thing out in the backyard. I've found in the many places I've lived, they almost always work together and some house spirits spend quite some time out there too!
From here on out, you'll develop your relationship with regular offerings and take it from there!
Dreams for the Witch House
Since I'm about to move into my own house for the first time in my life, I get to start from the ground up (literally!) with all my various witchy projects. And I have PLANS. I'm hoping to share pictures or videos of some of them on my socials, so we'll see how things go.
Here are some of my current plans:
A thorough cleansing during the initial deep cleaning work
Exterior property wards during yard cleanup
Install physical anchors for household wards
Ogham staves for the exterior doorways
Large decorative witch web for front door or wall hanging
Smaller multipurpose charms as part of home decor
Protective sigils in chalk or pencil under fresh paint
New organization system for witchy supplies in my workroom
Bottle charms in strategic locations inside house
Protective jar charms to bury in front and back yard
Five-sided brick firepit for the backyard
Raised garden beds and trellis for produce and witching herbs
Rain barrel for downspout to collect water for the garden
Fruit tree for the yard (willow, weeping cherry, or serviceberry)
Juniper bushes and bee-friendly plants for the side yard
Stone walkway and sitting area for backyard
I'm sure I'll think of some other stuff as I go, and these will probably fluctuate as I figure out what is and isn't feasible. It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm really excited to be able to make the new place exactly what I've always wanted in a home. Especially the garden. Every time I think of it, the theme from Practical Magic starts playing in my head and it sparks so much joy.
Looking forward to sharing my progress!

ᴘɪƖє ᴏηє queen of cups rx, knight of cups rx, page of wands, justice.
It seems to me your spirit guides are very protective. When the Queen of Cups rx popped up I instantly thought of mirrors. People may often project onto you. Something about you reflects the deepest, darkest, self hatred in other people. To them it feels like YOU are doing something, or something is off with you, when it's actually a reflection of their own darkness.
You could have a water stellium, or a lot of water placements. I'm picking up heavy on water ascendants, suns, or moons here.
Maybe with a mix of air placements in mercury or the big 3. As a result of this, people tend to unfortunately not recognize when the "attacks," "energy," and "negativity" they feel is actually a reflection of them. You could find that when YOU act out, punishments can be harsh because of the weight your energy holds. The pain, suffering, manifestations of poverty, ill health, and just general baneful magic or negativity sent your way often results in those intentions manifesting into the sender's life.
There could be moments where you feel unfairly spiritually vulnerable, or ditched because bad energy is getting through. This because of 3 things. 1. YOU were out of pocket in some way and are facing the consequences of your actions.
2. Your opponents are racking up worse and worse karma, so the blow-back is severe.
3. Your spirit guides want you to protect yourself. They're testing you and want to see if you can hold down the fort.
s/n: When it comes to you, your guides can secretly be vengeful. Though, they don't want that to get to your head. Clearly the people in this group went through a lot and never got proper justice for it. That could be why your spirit guides are very protective. The people wield ill intentions against you could suddenly fall into deep and isolating depression. They may begin suffering from emotional instabilities and outbursts. Many of them end up isolated. Friends, family, and coworkers distance themselves from the individual. They could end up with no one to turn to in their darkest moment. Your spirit team does not play when it comes to you.
Your spirit guides want you to be protected and in a good place. I feel your guides are incredibly picky about who they let around you. You may get waves of the ick about people, even for no reason; it seems they can even get frustrated how you seemingly overlook this ick feeling you get.
It feels to me that your guides are incredibly picky about who they allow in your space. You may get waves of the ick about people. They may get frustrated at your tendency to overlook this feeling they send you as a warning.

This is interesting, I can tell this will take a lot of channeling information. So let's start with the fact that at times your "isolation" is protection. The moments when you have this urge to isolate would be an indicator. It's like they will seclude you from others, and you become engrossed in your energy. You need to trust those periods and talk to no one. Spend that time nurturing yourself, cleansing your space, and recuperating. I also thought of bear traps or those episodes of scooby doo where the gang gets caught in Fred's trap instead of the villain. It's like, your enemies will plan to cause you harm- and then they'll fumble their plan and do it to themselves. When you approach revenge or balance in an egotistical way you're less likely to be able to see the outcome. I see that your spirit guides play a role in people perceiving you as unintelligent or naive. It's so that you can immediately pinpoint what's going on based on their actions. Don't give people the benefit of the doubt so much, but don't be so quick to throw long-term friendships away either. Allow people time to grow, and recognize that your energy is extremely transformative.
They make sure you can move on quickly from these people and help you to take action to protect yourself in the background. I also see that they may cause people discomfort, anxiety, or even straight-up attack people who try to hurt you. It seems to me some of your ancestors could be known in the spirit realm. I will leave it at that though. Do not let this information get to your head, and remember that you have much learning to do. I hope this reading resonated. If you'd like to buy a personal consultation on this topic I will be accepting basic readings for 25$ and in-depth ones for 45$ on this topic.

AND I THOUGHT PILE ONE WAS SEVERE. GOD DAMN.
Hey there Pile Two, so firstly, I must say your spirits rip people to fucking shreds. I want to get some insight into why people might try to harm you- so let's see. I feel that people may feel envious of you. It's interesting because many of you have not had much in life. You could have grown up poor. Others may have gone through emotional, physical, or other types of neglect. You went through so much pain and suffering; much of it was unfair. It seems that something karmically could've happened- there were experiences you weren't entirely supposed to go through. I think your ancestors and spirit guides may feel bad these things happened to you. I heard Anubis' name; some of you are protected and guarded by Anubis. That message is not for everyone.
I feel as if the people who try to hurt you may be very karmic. Through this current life, you're supposed to break free from the people who abused you in past lives. That is why their lives end up destroyed. Your abusers could end up in legal trouble. All their secrets are revealed to the public. Your enemies lose money, and some lose their grip on reality or sanity. I heard reversed just now, so whatever they did to you happens to them. I heard "dues" and "time to pay your dues," so when you make big decisions, like cutting off an abusive friend, partner, or family member, you find many blessings. If it hasn't happened, it will as you age up.

These cards are honestly so sweet. Your ancestors or spirit team removes blockages for you when people try to block your blessings. They bring you everything they can, and sometimes more. I feel that they nurture and help you cleanse and recuperate your energy. I sense a grandmotherly spirit who wants to speak to you more. They push things to be in your favor. You may feel overwhelmed like many bad things are happening one after the other as if you have no control. Then suddenly, you have this insane breakthrough and the blockages come tumbling. They like to turn these situations into learning moments.
That way once it is time for you to step into your power, you've been prepared for your spiritual duties. They are on a mission to protect you; there is something very sacred and inexplicably different about you. One of your ancestors could have predicted your birth, or have been waiting for you to be born. I feel that they provide for you. I mentioned neglect at the beginning of the reading; I get the sense that the random money, living situations, and luck you ran into were from them. They did all they could to take care of you as child and teenager. That's so wild because my boyfriend is playing NBA 2K23 and the announcer on the game said "22" and the word count (I've separated them into smaller paragraphs and run them through a word counter as I type) was 222. So they definitely provide for you, and happily.
What I'm about to say may not be for everyone, but you could have many people that pray for you. If you have witches in your family. I see pieces of paper with names written on them being burned for protection. I also feel that they could keep people away from you. The reason you may feel outcasted or hard pressed to find friends is because they protect you. All in all they just want you to be safe, and focus on studying. Whatever that means for you.

Your guides take away the stability of the people who try to start shit with you. I know a lot of this group may be very depressed or struggle with maintaining a positive outlook. Your envy or jealousy towards others can at times manifest into your own life. It's interesting because some of this group deals with entitlement issues. I'll get into your reading in a second, but this message feels pretty relevant. You'll notice some of the things listed here that happen to enemies show up in your own life as well. So be aware of how you treat others and what path you choose in the new year. Now then, onto the reading.
Your enemies find themselves penniless, their reputations could be destroyed entirely. Their family members disown them, or they start having family issues. People lose money, their savings could have to go into something very inconvenient. They could get into arguments and be verbally attacked often. Their words and secrets come back to bite them. I sense that your spirit team has a hard time being able to divinely protect you in many situations; Because a lot of this group is prone to gossip, backstabbing, and mistreating others, and is generally very lacking in self-awareness. This won't apply to everyone, and to those who don't participate in those kinds of behaviors; Your spirit team protects you by bringing you glimpses of the truth. Your spirit guides could also protect you by surrounding you with people who will defend you. I feel like some people defend you at all costs, there is a lot of self-reflection this group needs to do. Because I'm picking up that some of you take advantage of your friends.

I see that a lot of chaos and lack of clarity could enter the lives of the people who harm you or intend to harm you. The irony here though, is many of you tend to live life in a constant state of confusion as a result of your actions and lack of self-awareness. I get a strong feeling of opportunities for the people who cross you getting whisked away. Also, I want to apologize to the people in this pile who aren't resonating with certain bits. If you are not a person who lives their life in that negative manner I wouldn't worry too much about that. Just focus on the actual important bits for you. Anyways, I see opportunities being taken away and losing their popularity. Being struck down and put in their place, you could see people who unfairly try to cause harm to you get knocked down many pegs. HOWEVER, it is warned here to be careful about trying to knock people down because YOU see fit. Allow your guides to dictate that. Back to what I was saying though, you could see people being struck down publicly. A lot of their weird & negative ways are exposed and they may have their reputation destroyed. I see that you also could bring a lot of light to what is hidden about people. So it's possible you could be the one who is guided to expose or shed light onto people and things. However, I once again want to give a warning, many of you are not ready to function in this energy yet. A lot of shadow work and self-honesty is required. You need to learn to be kinder to others and to not engage in the behaviors you don't like in others before you cast judgment.
