The Happy Hearth

Color of the day:  Pink
Incense of the day:  Orchid
 
At the center of every home is a hearth: a fireplace, a wood-burning stove, a central furnace, or perhaps a kitchen range. Each represents the traditionally protective, nourishing fire at every home's center.

Treat your hearth to a winter cleansing. Clean your fireplace or oven or replace a used furnace filter. Clear away dust and grit, and polish with nontoxic cleanser and a clean rag.

Magickally cleanse your hearth using the elements. Use saltwater (earth + water) to trace a plus sign or the Algiz rune ( x ) on the hearth for protection and opportunity. Smudge or use incense (air + fire) of cedar, sage, or juniper for purification.

Light a fire in the hearth or turn on the oven or furnace. Meditate on the light and warmth, saying:

"I am grateful for the gifts this hearth
provides. May I always find peace and
safety here."

Enjoy your fire-or bake cookies in your freshened oven!
