how to deep cleanse an object

so i have these rings alright, they’re really pretty and all but they used to belong to a person that really attracted bad luck. now that they’re mine, wearing them just doesn’t feel right so i thought they were in need of a deep cleanse

here’s what i did :

👁‍🗨 find a bowl or recipient of any kind (that has to be clean itself) and pour salt in it

👁‍🗨 immerge your object in the salt

👁‍🗨 use a cleansing spray or burn sage as you say “with this spell, this object is cleansed”

👁‍🗨 leave it to charge and purify on your altar for 3 days or, if possible, leave it under a full moon’s light

Cleansing a Magic Mirror

Mirrors, like crystals, store information. In theory, anything reflected within a mirror, particularly over an extended period of time, is stored within and may be accessed.

Like cleaning out computer files, cleansing removes the mirror’s memory and allows you to start afresh. This is particularly crucial if [you] would like to use an antiwue mirror of unknown provenance. You have no idea what is in that mirror and what may, thus, emerge.

In addition, if you would like to dedicate a mirror to a new goal or purpose, a thorough cleansing is recommended. [The following] techniques may also be used to consecrate a mirror for any purpose[.]

Hello Nonny

If you want the necklace attuned to your energies, the easiest way is to just wear it. Imagine any color of light that you consider protective as a shield/bubble/ect.

No need for running water, because that will seriously damage the metal and stone set within.

You can also smoke cleanse (with the incense of your choice, whatever scent you like); set it in full moonlight.

Searching cleansing object tags will offer other methods that I didn’t mention.

Hope this helps 🍄

Cleansing Crystal Balls

It is crucial that crystal balls and scrying glass are kept cleansed, both physically and spiritually. A dusty crystal ball reveals nothing. A crystal ball covered with negative spiritual debris may reveal distortions.

Cleanse with the following:

A blend of spring water and vinegar

One of the charged waters: Holy Water, Marie Laveau Water, and Notre Dame Water are particularly recommended

A water-based herbal infusion made with dried mugwort and/or anise seeds

Mugwort hydrosol

Add flower essence remedies as desired to any of the above formulas. Mugwort flower essence remedy enhances the crystal ball’s powers; Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy or a similar emergency formula will remove and assimilate disturbing or traumatic visions within.

The Water Method [of Cleansing a Magic Mirror]

Place the mirror within a basin.

Pour bottled spring water or collected rainwater over the mirror.

Remove the mirror and dispose of the water. (It may be given to plants but should not be used for bathing or drinking.)

Wipe the mirror with a soft, clean cloth.

Repeat for a total of three ritual repetitions, gently wiping the mirror in between each.

Living waters are most effective. The ritual may also be performed outside in a stream, waterfall or ocean. However, if necessary, tap water will suffice for the purpose.

Cleansing Crystals

Crystals and gemstones absorb and store energy. Depending upon how they’re used, they may need to be cleansed periodically and re-charged.

Various cleansing methods exist:

Bury the stone in the ground overnight or longer. This is most potent if done outside, but if this is not possible, burying in a flowerpot filled with dirt will work, too. (If you would like to retain the stone, make sure to mark the burial spot.)

Expose the crystal to sunlight and/or moonlight

Pass the crystal through incense smoke

Many clear crystals may be cleansed with salt water: collect ocean water or add sea salt to spring water

Many of the charged waters in the fomulary may be used to cleanse crystals, particularly Florida Water or Notre Dame Water

Salt may leach color from a vivid crystal or damage a fragile one, like moldavite: bath crystals in spring water with the addition of a few drops of Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy or similar emergency flower remedy formula

Cleansing a Magic Sword

The following are suggestions for the care, cleansing and consecration of a magic sword based on instructions from the sixteenth century:

Build a fire from bay laurel and vervain.

Pass the sword through the smoke, actually holding it in the flame if this is safe and appropriate.

When it cools, wrap the sword in vervain leaves.

Swaddle it in white silk and maintain it this way when not in use.

Cleansing Magic Ritual Fabrics

If it is safe to cleanse with water, add all or any of the following to the rinse water:

A few drops of Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy or similar formula

A few drops of essential oil of cajeput

A few drops of essential oil of lavender

A few drops of essential oil of manuka (New Zealand tea tree)

Fabrics may also be spiritually cleansed, if not actually cleansed, through smoke.

Prepare any of the incense or fumigation formulas in the Cleansing Spells Section. Carefully pass the fabric through the smoke, making sure that it does not burn.
