Dumbledore merely touches the wall of the cave and says:
“This place has known magic.”
My home and garden too, are magical places. And magical places attract all sorts of energy, both light and dark. Stronger warding is necessary. I purchased an entire pallet of Selenite slabs to be spaced around the entire boundary of the property. (This was an investment – I’ll just say that.) The boundary was then woven and connected to the central stone. The stone was placed energetically, and not quite in the center of the garden, but that’s where it needed to be.

The entire coven as well as some of my students came out to spend 4 hours setting, charging and connecting the stones. The Ward is up, no evil shall pass into this little slice of sacred paradise.
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!

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!
