When we purchased the land for our home, we blessed it prior to the first hole being dug. We called upon the spirits of the land to ask permission to build here, and we asked for them to lend their energies and attention so the construction would go gracefully and according to schedule, which it did.
I blessed every inch of the foundation, leaving specific blessings, stones, and mojo bags in each wall, according to the use of the rooms which would be contained within the walls. I did this blessing the day the concrete was poured, while the big trucks were on their way to the site. The contractor was nervous about the timing, but with the help of the foundation crew moving the ladders around for me, I got it done in time. Concrete won’t wait!

Once the house was built, my friends came to assist Brian and I with the blessing of the house and property. It was a momentous occasion! There were many tears and much laughter, because everyone knew how hard we had worked for this, and that this would be our forever home.
We blessed every inch of the property, and made offerings to the land spirits and elemental energies.

We blessed every room in the house, and set the intention and purpose for that room. We blessed every pipe and electrical source and appliance, we blessed and warded all windows and doors.

Everyone insisted that I play something on the piano, as a way to finish the blessing ritual, and bring music into the home. I played a Scriabin Prelude, and then we all celebrated, shared our friendship, ate some good food, and some of us just took a nap!
