1. Pour the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a clean spray bottle for easy application. If you prefer, you can also keep it in a bowl and use a cloth to apply the wash.

Set Your Intention

Before using the wash, take a moment to set your intention. You might say a prayer or affirmation, such as: "I cleanse and protect this space with the heart-healing and protective energies of hawthorn. May only positive and loving energies enter here."

Apply the Wash

1. Spray or Apply: Spray or apply the wash with a cloth around the thresholds of your home, including doorways and windowsills.
2. Visualize Protection: As you do, visualize a protective barrier forming, keeping out negative energies and inviting in positivity and love.

To enhance the power of this ritual, you can perform it during a waxing moon for growth and protection or a waning moon for cleansing and banishing negative energies. You can also light a white candle for purification or a green candle for heart-centered energy while you work.

Using this Hawthorn Berry Threshold Wash, you can create a sacred and protected space that invites positive energies and wards off negativity. It’s a simple yet powerful ritual that helps you maintain a harmonious and heart-centered home.
