Why this Spell Works
Shamans all across the Americas have used the cleansing and purifying powers of these ingredients. Palo Santo and Sage (Salvia). They are still used today during sessions of purification of the soul – like those of Ayahuasca and Temascal – in order to help the participants relax and focus.
Note that this is a different ritual which uses some of the same ingredients:
- Palo Santo 🔥 is typically burned to balance energies. It helps control diseases caused by stress, promoting peace and harmony. Its aroma sets the perfect mood for moments of meditation and contemplation.
- Sage 🌿 is used as an incense to cleanse and purify energies. Its smoke has disinfectant properties and it is used to invoke Wisdom.
The new positive energies will clear away all envy, bad moods, and ill intentions. ✨
Use this spell if you’re moving and would like to attract some good luck and positive energies by cleansing the new home 🏠 Or cast this spell if you feel stagnant energy in your house and feel it’s time for a home cleansing and blessing of your house and aura.

Hello I just wanted to bring to your attention that “smudging” is a closed Native American practice and it might be ethical fo you to change your “Pure Light: house and spirit cleansing spell” from including a smudge stick, you can easily change this to cleansing bundle. There is way more that goes into smudging that burning herbs thank you.
Thanks for your feedback! I agree! I have now updated the page to reflect what you mentioned.
Blessed Be!
I would lose my mind if it wasn’t for this site and coven. I don’t talk much but I’m here
