A home cleansing is a ritual performed to cleanse the negative energies or unwanted spirits from the home, business or land. Many different clearing methods are employed to achieve this goal.
A home should be cleansed to make way for positive energies to come and fill your home. This will create a wonderful home environment that promotes emotional health, healing and peace.
You should cleanse your home as the seasons change or when there has been any serious emotional turmoil or serious illness that is affecting the family members within the home. Another occasion in which you should cleanse the home is when you are either moving in or out of a dwelling.
Many different cultures and religions have simple rituals in which the property is blessed to bring in the positive energies like, love, prosperity, peace and protection. A home blessing ritual consists of a prayer and energetic work done to imbue the property with positive energies. I can also set up a crystal grid in your home to bring in the energies that you desire and need.
It is important to have positive outlooks in life and it is healthier for every household member to be in a positive loving environment. You bring food to feed the body this is a way to feed the soul.
You should do a home blessing when you are moving into a new home and when you are leaving a home. You should also do a home blessing when you have done renovations and/or additions to your home.
It is a ritual in which we sever the emotional, mental and energetic ties that we may have with things that no longer serve us. It is an excellent tool to help us in the moving on process from bad relationships and unhealthy thought patterns. It also allows us to shed all negative energies that we might have collected throughout our everyday lives.
It helps to bring closure; it also allows you to feel free physically, emotionally and mentally from all that brings you down in this world. It is a great way to purge all that no longer serves us that still are energetically attached to us. The effects of cord cutting can be felt emotional, mental and physically. When we shed what no longer serve us we can have a healthier and happier life.
It is always wise to do this as the seasons change or when a new year is a foot. A great time to do cord cutting ceremonies are when we are about to embark in new endeavors as to clean our energetic slate so that you make way to receive all that is in our best interest. A good time to have one done is when bad relationships have come to an end and the residual negative energies need to be purged.
A child blessing is a ceremony in which we welcome and bless the new child in to this world and the family (in case of adoptions.)

You should have a Child Blessing Ceremony when the family is welcoming a new member to the family.
It is a ceremony held once a female or male child becomes a young man or woman. For a girl it maybe when her moons start and it is a time for the important women in her life to come together and celebrate such a momentous occasion, so that she may partake in their wisdom.
For a young man it might be when he reaches a certain age or is able to perform a specific task like hunting. In this case the wise men and woman in the family come together in celebration and share with him their wisdom and teachings about his place and role in this world.
It is the perfect time to take the opportunity to show this new young adult how important this new stage of their life is. They are able to identify which are the wise ones in their lives who they can count on during the time of need and seek their support during as they mature.
It is best to do it once the young girl gets her moon for the first time or once she has reach and age (~13) that the parent deemed worthy of this ceremony. For a boy it can be when he reaches the age of 13 or when he is able to hunt.
It is a ceremony in which two people exchange vows with one another. It can be of an official nature (a legal marriage) or of a spiritual nature (not a legal marriage, just a partnership). It is an alternative to a traditional wedding ceremony or the justice of the peace.

The person in anointed with special oil (in this case a blend of essential oils prepared exclusively for this purpose). A prayer is done and a blessing is given. The purpose is to speed up the recovery process or to prepare the soul so it journeys well into the afterlife.
