Spell for Securing a Home/Property Purchase
My partner and I recently put an offer on a house and are anxiously awaiting a response, so I thought we’d do some spellwork to make us feel better help out our situation.
This spell works primarily with Lady Hestia of the Hellenic Pantheon, Goddess of the Hearth and Home.
Ingredients/utensils:
Property & real estate agent’s details
Photo of who will live in the home
Pen & paper
Lighter or matches
Fire-safe bowl
Two red candles
Wine, wineglasses, & bottle opener
Small cake/pastry
Incense
Coin
Whole cloves
Honey
Instructions:
Light the incense and use the smoke to cleanse the space & ingredients/utensils. Place the photo of you/your family between the bowl and one of the candles. Place the offerings around the bowl.
Title the paper “Our/My Home” and list features you desire for the house and property, including how it makes you feel, the price range, and how easy it is to find. Feel the excitement of finding your dream home, one that hits every detail on the list. Fold it toward you once and write the address of your desired property and the agent’s details, then fold it toward you again. Express gratitude for the house as if you already live in it and place the folded paper in the bowl. Sprinkle cloves around the paper to serve as amplification and an offering.
Evoke the Goddess: “I welcome Lady Hestia, gracious goddess of the hearth, keeper of the sacred flame, first and last born of the deathless children of fearful Kronos and compassionate Rhea. In ancient times, eternal fair maiden, all first offerings went to you, so great is your power and so great the need for your blessing. You are the soul of every home, the endless tender of Olympus’ flame, friend of those who kindle their own hearth-fire, guardian and defender of the household. Welcome, great goddess Hestia.”
Set the offerings in the bowl as you continue: “Beautiful goddess, I offer this libation to you. With incense, I honor your sacred flame and the air it needs to breathe. With a coin, I present a gift made of the riches found deep in the Earth. With honey and wine, I call to mind the water that sustains life, as well as the bounty of a homestead. Finally, I offer this cake that we might break bread together and share in your blessings. Lady Hestia, lighter and keeper of the sacred flames, I honor and praise you.”
Light one of the candles and place it in the bowl, then continue: “Radiant goddess, I humbly ask your favor this day. Bring this home to us swiftly. Keep it for us and only us. By your powers of sustenance and safety, please unite us with this property easily and divinely, and we will live in our home happily. Shed your hallowed light unto it that it may be ours alone. Verdant Queen, bless us with warmth so that we may always dance around your fiery throne and worship you at our hearth.”
Pour a glass of wine for everyone present and continue: “I honor you, Hestia Prytaneia of the sacred hearth. I express gratitude for your blessing, for the beauty and love you share, and for you, Lady Hestia. Be ever welcome in our home, oh goddess; be ever present in our hearts. Thank you and blessed be.”
Drink the wine and enjoy some cake while watching the candle burn down completely. Say to it: “Thank you, light, for entering [address] that it might be ours instantly and easily.” Meditate on the home you want. Picture yourself in it, the things you’ll do in it, and the way your life will change. If you are performing the spell with someone else, talk about it together; you are more than the sum of your parts. Finish the wine.
Move the offerings from the bowl to the empty wine bottle, along with the folded paper, excluding the coin and photo. Replace the top of the bottle, then light the other candle. Use the melted wax to seal the bottle. Place the coin and photo in your wallet.
Give thanks to the elements, your utensils, the new property/its realtor, your current home, your family, and yourself. Take time to clean, ground yourself, and rest.
Bury the sealed bottle by the front door of your home once you move in. Give thanks again to all spirits that aided you on your journey.
Notes:
If you don’t finish the wine, you can simply leave the bottle partially full when you add the offerings to it and seal it. My partner and I chose to finish it while we talked, but it’s up to you. Regardless, it won’t affect the spellwork.
We chose to use two different kinds of candles: a birthday candle to burn down in the bowl and a larger candle in a glass container for sealing the bottle.
Please exercise safety while working with fire and alcohol at the same time; the spell is useless if you use it to commit arson.
Wine can be substituted with cranberry or cherry juice, red sparkling juice, or another similar option of your choice. The intention is the most important aspect of the offering.
If you have any questions, please ask. This is my first time sharing a spell online, but I spent quite a bit of time and energy researching, creating, and performing it, so I thought I’d share it here for anyone interested. Best of luck out there, heathens. Blessed be.
