Just like dust can build up in a house so can spiritual energy. Energy can build up in the house and make it feel cramped or cluttered. When this happens the house usually falls into a state of mess and nothing ever seems to become clean. Also you may feel odd sensations in your home or even become ill due to a build up of energies. Energy build up in a house can lead to a number of problems fo you. Especially if you do spells and magick.
Every thought you have and action you take is an energy. When these thoughts or actions take place in a room they imprint themselves on the room and over time can build up. Think about how many thoughts and actions you take during a day and then imagine how much energy must be built up in a single room.
Not all of your thoughts are good, and that is the same with the energy that has built up, some of it is negative energy that is just sitting there infecting the area with its negativity. This can actually make you ill or make you feel upset, angry or annoyed. The clutter of energy can also be a place where entities hide who wish you harm. These entities can become a real problem especially if you are preforming black magick spells, or any other type of magick. They can interfere with your thoughts and cause you harm. They can also cause you to lose focus and as black magicians that is one thing that none of us want as focus in the key to everything that we do.
This is just a few of the reasons why it is important to do an energy cleanse of your house every month. Cleaning your house and keeping it organized is a good start, but it can still leave behind unwanted energies or entities. The best way to clean your house is to use elements from nature. Open all the windows and get a stick of sage and cleanse the area. Once all the windows are open and the fresh air is blowing through, take a smudge stick (sage) and go through the house with it burning just lightly filling the air. Leaving the windows open for a bit afterwards will clear out all the unwanted energy.
After doing this you will notice that your house will feel fresher and cleaner you may also notice that certain ailments that you had will disappear. If you do magick work then it is essential that you cleanse your altars after every spell in this manner, so that the energy from each spell does not build up and effect other spells.
Cleanliness is important, even from a spiritual sense.
Happy Clearing
