This spell can be used when you have been
burgled or your home has been violated in some
way. It uses symbolism and representation and
needs to be done as soon as possible after the
event. There are several stages to the process and
each one should make you feel progressively
better. Tracing the rune without drawing it on
paper means in this instance it has more power
because it is visible to no one else but you.
YOU WILL NEED:
• Water for cleaning your home
• Cleaning cloth
• Essential oil (for a bath to rebalance your aura)
• Candle (preferably white)
• A large quantity of rock salt
• A purification incense (such as frankincense or
copal)
METHOD:
✤ You will want to cleanse your house to get rid
of undue influences, so use the occasion to get
rid of anger at the same time.
✤ Put a few drops of essential oil in the water
you use and as you do your cleaning,
mentally clear the atmosphere in each room spiritually and emotionally, converting any
anger into love for your home.
✤ When you have finished, throw away the
cloth and water you used and as you do so
mentally close off your association with the
violator of your premises.
✤ Now make a ritual of your bath, lighting your
candle for fresh energy then add the
essential oil and a teaspoon of salt.
✤ It is a good idea to keep the water trickling in
and out of the bath to signify moving water,
since you want to wash away any negativity,
not stagnate in it.
✤ When your preparations are complete take
the salt and, moving clockwise through the
house, sprinkle a little in each corner of each
room to remove all traces of the negative.
✤ Make the sign of the rune Dagaz
at the windows and doors of
your home, starting at the top
left and using your most
powerful hand.
✤ Each time you do this, repeat words
such as:
Protect my home and keep it safe.
✤ Use your own words if you wish so that they
have more meaning.
✤ Finally, at a point closest to the center of your
home, light the incense, and let it waft
throughout all the rooms to give a final cleansing and raise the vibration.
With this particular technique, you have raised the
vibration in your home, protected it, and allowed yourself to become slightly more aware of how precious your safe space is. You will also have
come to terms with fear. Skin-Faxi, Dag’s white horse,
is said to have chased away the fears of the night with
beams from his shining mane so Dagaz is best used in
a situation of unease such as this.
It is useful to remember that the difference between runes and Ogham Staves is that runes
are Nordic and more associated with light, or the lack of it, and the effect it had on peoples’
lives, whereas staves are Celtic and associated with trees or plants. You may find it interesting to compare and contrast the two and decide which you more naturally relate to.
You also might like to honor the respective
Gods – Odin for the runes and Ogmios for the
Ogham Staves. When working with any of the
individual runes or staves, don’t forget to pay
due respect to the animals, trees, and symbolism inherent in each one. By working in that way,
when you wear them in amulets or use their representations in talismans, you will be
linking into the intrinsic power in each rune or
stave. When using the alphabetic equivalents in any way, also remember to allow for the energy
that the letters contain.
Any ritual connected with either the runes or
The staves need to reflect the simplicity of the
images. A simple form of blessing that honors
the four Elements might be, for instance:
Land, sun, lake, and wind
Bless now the form of my working.
