How To Set Up Your Own Sacred Space For Rituals
Learn How To Create A Sanctuary For Your Rituals-Right In Your Own Home(Or Wherever!)
Creating a sacred space for rituals is an essential part of any practice and there are several ways to create a safe, comfortable, and powerful space.
Follow the steps below to create your very own spiritual and sacred space for rituals.
Clear The Space

First, find a clean, cozy, and private space in your home.
For those with limited space, such as those living in cities, you might find this a bit of a challenge at first. It might require you to get a little(or a lot)creative!
Storage spaces, corners of the bedroom, closets, window nooks, and more can make excellent locales! When you find your spot, be sure to clean it out, making it as minimal as possible while still allowing it to be cozy and feel safe.
(Excess items can be energetically chaotic and might have their own energetic baggage attached so to speak.)
Then give everything a good scrub down, sweep, dust, and get the space nice and physically clear.
Set Up Energetic Boundaries

Clearly define the space, by setting up energetic boundaries.
There are a few ways to do this.
You can create barriers–setting up dividers, curtains, doors, whatever you have available. If you need to pile up boxes or items, to make space, you can hang a curtain, move something in front of them, or throw a blanket over them to create a barrier.
You want the space to be defined and controllable.
Then you want to speak out and define the boundaries of the space. You can use your hands, moving the energy or tracing along the physical boundaries.
(If you are outside you can use a salt ring or crystal grid also.)
Having a physical representation of the energetic boundaries helps hold the space in the physical.
Purify The Space

Cleanse and purify the space.
Sage and Palo Santo are excellent resources for clearing but need to be ethically sourced. My Resources page can point you in the direction of some good companies.
Other herbs such as rosemary, patchouli, and lavender are also effective. You can line the space with essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus, use oils in a diffuser, or burn incense.
Most people feel called to specific clearing methods and practices, so you are welcome to try a few and see which ones call to you.
Ritual simply helps us connect the physical to the ethereal. So intention is really everything.
Protect The Space

Create protection around the space.
Once you’ve gotten the space clean, cleared, and cordoned off, it’s time to ensure additional protection.
Crystals such as obsidian, black tourmaline, and selenite are all excellent options for clearing and protecting. There are also protection sprays, candles, and incense to enhance that specific intention.
You can also speak out protection and boundary phrases and sentences such as:
“This is a sacred and hallowed space, protected by divine light and cleansed of all negativity. May only positive energy enter and remain here.”
“I seal this space with divine blessings and surround it with a circle of light, guarded by divine forces. May it remain pure, safe, and sacred.”
“I surround this space with love, light, and compassion, may only the highest forces of good be present here.”
(Feel free to call in: Higher vibrating beings of light, ancestors, spirit guides, Archangels, spirit animals, or any spiritual practice, person, or connection you feel called to for additional light and protection)
Activate The Space

Add activation items to your space.
After the space has been cleansed, cleared, and protected, you can add additional activation and decoration.
Add your own favorite ritual pieces this could include:
- Candles
- Oils/Sprays
- Totems/Symbols
- Crystals
- Offerings
- Flowers, Herbs, Plants
- Decorations–Art, Lunar Calendars
(You want to avoid photographs of others or yourself unless you are using them for the practice. )
