title: citrus cleanse experimentation

the problem: the house has been feeling stagnant and overall not good. I feel slightly ill, too.

the solution: a house cleansing + illness banishment*

the work: I want to use some sort of citrus. I feel lemon would be ideal, however I do not have any; therefore a lime is a good substitute. Alongside it, I will be banishing the illness I am beginning to get -- I will use nettle for the banishment part and ginger for the curing part. I will use a candle as well -- maybe rest it on top of the lime. Might as well add salt, too.

I will begin with the cleansing portion; then move onto banishment, and then healing.

For cleansing, I cut the lime in half and then cut a cross onto one half and cut off the bottom too so it stays still. The other half will be offering to the house spirits.

Next I will bless the cross-lime with salt, saying a prayer to God alongside it. The other lime will not be salted; as I think it may offend the house spirits. The salt I will be using I had previously blessed, but I will bless it again;

Dear Heavenly Father, may this salt be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

And for the blessing of the lime;

Dear Heavenly Father, may this blessed salt therefore bless this lime with the ability of purification, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Before I work the salt, I realize I need to light a candle for the Trinity; I shall do that now.

Next I take a tealight out of its metal casing, and place it on top of the lime. This is optional but I really want the wax to seep into the lime as it melts.

I will light the candle now alongside with a prayer;

Dear Heavenly Father, this light is your light, please purify my house with it. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

As the candle burns and after I've sit with it for a while, I will begin banishment of the illness and overall negativity. A prayer;

Nettle, may you use your sharp thorns against illness, may you use your bite against evils, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I sprinkle the nettle onto the candle as I say this. I will let it burn for awhile before adding the ginger. Maybe when the first drop of wax hits the lime.

As I wait, I decide to pray the rosary. It's a blue rosary I had made. Very pretty.

Next I pray over the ginger;

Ginger, may I be healed from my illness, and may you prevent those around me from getting I'll, too. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I sprinkle it over the candle.

As I type this up I realize it is 2 AM. Oh well I guess!

Almost out...

There.

I'm off to bed now I guess. It's 2:30 AM. Night!
