As winter fades and spring emerges, it’s the perfect time to cleanse your space of old, stagnant energy and invite in the fresh, vibrant energy of the new season. Just as we shed heavy winter layers, our homes, bodies, and spirits benefit from a deep energetic refresh. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just looking to bring new life into your space, this guide will walk you through how to banish the old and bless the new using specific herbs, oils, deities, and intentional rituals.

Recognizing Stagnant Energy

Before we cleanse, it’s important to recognize when and where energy has become stagnant. Some signs include:

• Feeling tired or uninspired despite resting

• A sense of heaviness in certain rooms

• Increased arguments, stress, or negative emotions at home

• Lack of motivation or creativity

• Plants struggling despite proper care

• A general feeling of discomfort in your own space

If any of these resonate with you, it’s time to clear out the energetic cobwebs!

Clearing the Old Energy

Just as we dust and declutter, removing old energy sets the stage for renewal. Here’s how:

Smoke Cleansing with Herbs

Burning specific herbs is a powerful way to remove unwanted energy. Some of the best for spring cleansing include:

• Rosemary – Clears negativity and strengthens protection

• Cedar – Purifies and refreshes the home

• Lavender – Calms and soothes while lifting spirits

• Mugwort – Opens intuition and clears out energetic residue

• Pine – Brings in fresh, crisp energy while banishing the old

To smoke cleanse, light your chosen herb bundle or loose herbs in a fire-safe dish. Walk through each room, allowing the smoke to fill the space while setting an intention, such as, “I release all that no longer serves me.” Be sure to open windows to give old energy a clear exit path.

Salt Cleansing for Protection

Salt is an incredible tool for both purification and protection. Here’s how to use it:

• Sprinkle black salt in doorways and windowsills to block negative energy from returning.

• Add sea salt to mop water and wash floors with intention.

• Create a small bowl of salt mixed with dried rosemary and place it in a room to absorb unwanted energy (change it out weekly).

• Fill a small jar with salt and protective herbs and place it near entry points to act as an energy filter.

Self-Cleansing with Bath Salts

Before welcoming new energy, cleanse yourself! A ritual bath infused with cleansing herbs and salts is perfect for washing away spiritual residue. Our handcrafted bath salts are infused with herbs designed to remove negativity and restore personal balance.

For an extra boost, add a few drops of lemon essential oil or float dried flower petals in your bath to enhance renewal and clarity.

Inviting Fresh Spring Energy

Now that your space is cleansed, it’s time to fill it with vibrant, fresh energy!

Using Candles for New Beginnings

Candles carry powerful intention-setting energy. As you light them, visualize your home filling with warmth, clarity, and renewal. Some of the best choices for spring include:

• Moonlit Grove (Cedarwood & Musk) – Perfect for fresh starts and grounding new energy

• Twilight Hollow (Patchouli & Lavender) – Invites peace, harmony, and gentle transformation

• Starlit Canopy (Nag Champa) – Enhances intuition and clarity for new endeavors

Light a candle in your main living space while focusing on the blessings you wish to bring into your home. Consider carving sigils or symbols of renewal into your candles before burning them.

Oils and Herbal Infusions for Spring Renewal

• Lemon or Orange Oil – Uplifting, refreshing, and perfect for diffusing in the home.

• Peppermint Oil – Clears mental fog and promotes energy flow.

• Basil or Bay Leaf – Infuse these into water and lightly spray around the home for prosperity and protection.

• Eucalyptus – Excellent for clearing out lingering stagnant energy and promoting a fresh start.

Calling on Deities for Guidance

Deities associated with cleansing and renewal can enhance your rituals:

• Hekate – A powerful protector, perfect for sealing your space after cleansing.

• Nyx – Clears out lingering negativity and brings deep renewal.

• Ostara – A goddess of spring, fertility, and fresh beginnings, ideal for welcoming in vibrant energy.

• Brigid – Associated with purification, inspiration, and healing.

Offer candles, incense, or fresh flowers in their honor to solidify their presence in your ritual.

Maintaining a High-Vibrational Space

To keep your home’s energy fresh throughout the season, consider these ongoing practices:

• Open Windows Daily – Letting in fresh air prevents energy from stagnating.

• Ring Bells or Play Chimes – Sound vibrations help keep energy moving.

• Use Wax Melts with Intention – Scents like citrus, lavender, or fresh florals uplift the space.

• Place Crystals Around the Home – Selenite, clear quartz, and amethyst work wonders for maintaining high vibrations.

• Daily Affirmations – Speaking blessings into your home keeps it filled with positivity.

• Keep Fresh Flowers or Plants – Living greenery naturally revitalizes the energy of a space.
