Ok, you’ve got a ghost in your home and it’s freaking your freak right out. You don’t care if it’s your Great-sunt Mildred or that she has the best of intentions, you want it gone.
How the hell do you get rid of it?
The first thing to try is the simplest. Ask it to leave. Sometimes spirits get stuck. They don’t realize where they are. Talking to them and telling them wand can give them the jolt they need to move along. If your Great-aunt Mildred was stubborn in life, she’s going to be stubborn in death. You may have to take a firm stand and use a stern tone to get them to cross over.
To ensure that the spirit doesn’t return, pour a line of salt outside your doors. Or make some cascarilla powder. This comes from the traditions of Santaria, Hoodoo, and Voodoo. It creates a magical energetic barrier. Here’s how to whip some up.
When you use an egg, remove the membrane from the shell. Clean the shell and let it dry. Once you have about a dozen, grind them in a coffee grinder. Or, if you’d prefer to be more hands-on, grind them in a mortar and pestle in a clockwise circle. You can add your intention as you grind to give the cascarilla more potency. Sprinkle this outside your doors and on your windowsills.
If you want to get extra witchy, make cascarilla chalk. Mix the eggshells with equal parts hot water and flour. Mold it into a thick chalk-like shape and roll it in a paper towel to dry. You can also add protective herbs and oils if you like. Try rosemary, sage, chamomile, rose petals, or mint. Use the chalk to draw a protective circle,
You can also smudge with a sage bundle. Open all your windows a crack. Walk from room to room while saying, “I am cleansing this space. All negative spirits must leave.” Catch the ash with a plate or seashell and deposit it outside your home when you’re done.
Make sure you speak firmly but without hate, anger, or threats. You want the spirit to leave willingly and peacefully.
Finally, if these methods fail to move your ghost along, seek professional help.
