Traditionally a time of purification and spellwork, this month should primarily be a preparation of the body, mind and spirit to accept the positive changes you worked for in January. As part of this purification, consider your home, the place that nurtures and revitalizes you after excursions into the outer world.

On the night of the Full Moon, take a soothing bath and dress in your ritual robe. Wear whatever magical jewelry makes you feel powerful and positive in thought. Take a lighted white candle and a small hand-bell, and begin this ritual at the part of your house or apartment farthest from the main door. Move clockwise around each room, beginning on the left side of the doorway, while ringing the bell. Remember to cleanse basements and enclosed porches. Open porches are cleared by the wind.

When you have purified every room in this manner, finish by standing in the main doorway and saying, "Only light may enter here. No more Darkness, no more fear. Only positives shall I see. This I declare, Blessed Be."
