High Speed House Witching

The monthly Dark Moon, marked on the Moon Calendar, is the ultimate zone for high-speed house witching. It’s when even the most micro clear or unclutter job can effectively shift stale energy and attract abundance.

The word clutter has its root in ‘clot’ as in coagulate. There is a very real thrill in de-cluttering and removing things. It stimulates energy and ideas. It is also meditative, to the extent that the sorting and assessing take up a particular part of our brain, like chanting a mantra does. It always evokes fantastic ideas or realizations, elevating your mood.

But if you’re not a natural Dark Mooner space-clear-cadet or have gotten out of the rhythm, it can be daunting. In that case, follow these six easy steps to fly through it.

(1) Aim to do this at Warp Speed – zero distractions. There is room for a leisurely decluttering and sorting process, but if you’ve been avoiding it, full focus velocity is the only way. Turn off your phone. Set a timer for 144 minutes or 22 minutes or another length of time that is as numerologically satisfying. Twelve minutes is ultra-magic as it’s 72° – a quintile – or one-fifth of the 360° compass, evoking a pentagram.

(2) Do this in silence or to the soundscape of something with pace, no lyrics. My Focus and Space Clearing Music is genius for this but whatever you do, avoid drippy spa music.

(3) Put every item of dirty clothing, dishes, and utensils in the wash, using the heavy-duty cycles and with a prayer of gratitude for not having to rinse them in a river. Get a couple of industrial-strength rubbish bags – the sort that you could probably put bricks in – and strut around your domain, putting everything that is rubbish, never worn/used, or energetically sub-optimal into a bag for the trash or charity.

The latter has to be donated by the New Moon. Be ruthless – fewer things come in handy than you might think, and if you’re worried about what you paid for something, you can’t recover the costs by keeping it on a shelf, so do something. If you think something could be sold, realistically assess the amount of time spent posting the item and dealing with inquiries versus the money you would make.

(4) Throw sea salt around the place like a dervish. Visualize it attracting and neutralizing grubby little remnants of low-vibe entities, ghost gunk, leftover thought forms, and general detritus. High dust, wipe any obvious surfaces with a wet cloth and some energizing essential oil like rosemary, and vacuum. Empty it straight after and remove the bag.

(5) Put all stray documents – physical ones, not digital – into one pile and roar through them with incredible gusto. Remove duplicates, scan the ones you need, action them on the spot if possible or schedule the payment/response and then shred the rest.

(6) Etherically clear with some Tibetan bells, an essential oil spray, incense, or smudging, and enjoy the uplift. Set a New Moon intention if one comes to mind but otherwise anticipate the arrival or news of something beneficial that you have made room for!
