How To Cleanse And Bless An Object: 1 Powerful Blessing Spell For Witches

Please note that posts on this site may contain affiliate links

When you need to bless an object, do you need to call a priest? No way! You can use blessing spells and cleanse things of negative energy all on your own with just a few tools.

In Wicca and other forms of witchcraft, anyone can bless an object. With tools like moon water, bells, and an altar, any object can be cleansed and blessed to remove negative energy.

Why Should You Use Blessing Spells?

Obviously, every object in our home carries the energy put into it by ourselves or other people.

Usually, that will be neutral or good energy, but what do you do when it’s bad energy?

You need to bless an object with a spell after you cleanse that object because if you don’t, you run the risk of keeping cursed items and bad energy in your home.

To keep your living space peaceful, you should follow the spell instructions below.

Every now and then, we all buy, are given, or own an object with negative energy attached to it.

Sometimes, you had those items when you received bad news, like your grandma’s ring that you were wearing when she died.

You want to keep those objects in your life, but they are painful reminders of bad times.

Other times, those objects came to you with the lousy energy attached, like a thrift store scarf that gives you an ominous, negative feeling.

No one wants those kinds of negative emotions in their home or their life.

At times like these, you need to bless and cleanse the object so that the negative energy can be banished and positive energy can begin to flow into the object.

Can A Witch Bless An Object With Holy Water?

If you believe in holy water’s efficacy, I don’t see anything wrong with using it to bless an object.

Make sure it was actually blessed by a priest, however.

There are scam artists out there that sell fake holy water.

But if you have a terrible relationship with Christianity, I would stay far away from holy water.

That bad association can only make things worse.

You can’t bless an object with something that you see as evil, annoying, or harmful!

Can Any Witch Bless An Object?

Yes! Any layperson can bless an object with blessing spells. Since blessing spells are some of the simplest spells to do, it is really beginner-friendly, too.

There’s no reason to run out and find an expert to bless the jewelry you want to turn into a talisman. Simply find a blessing spell, like the one below, and tap into your own magical energy.

How Can You Easily Bless An Object That Has Negative Energy?

There are several witchy or pagan-friendly options to cleanse and bless and object.

Here are a few options:

Cleansing An Object

Before you bless an object, you need to remove the negative energy with a cleansing. Cleansing objects should be done periodically to release stagnant energy, primarily if those objects are used in spells or rituals.

Your athame, jewelry, tarot cards, and other witchy tools should be cleansed in one of these ways.

  • Use incense smoke to cleanse your object. Dragon’s blood, frankincense, myrrh, and benzoin are popular options for object cleansing.
  • Bathe the object in essential oils. I like to use lemon to represent the sun. Don’t use oils on anything that may become oil-stained, like clothing.
  • Wash the negative item in warm soapy water, then allow it to dry in the sun for a few days.
  • Soak the object in water with sea salt. Use enough salt for the water to taste like the sea.
  • Wash the object in the sea.
  • Jewelry can be buried, where the earth will absorb the negativity. Anything that came from the earth can be buried in the soil to change its vibrations.
  • Leave the item on a windowsill during a sunny day to be cleansed by the sun.
  • Hold the object in your hands and envision black energy pouring out from it and into the earth. Keep the item in your hands until all of the negative energy has been emptied into the ground. Best to do this outside.

Blessing An Object

Once your item is cleansed of negative energy, you can then begin the work of blessing it.

What is an object blessing, though? We ask for blessings from deities or the universe to grant positive energy or attributes to whatever is being blessed. Some blessings simply ask for good energy. Others aim to make an object stronger or for that object to hold the power of love or prosperity.

The important thing is to set a positive intention for the item. Don’t just assume that a blessing spell will work without giving the object a purpose.

I have found blessings to be most potent under a full moon, but any night will be good enough if you’re in a hurry.

These spells are usually relatively easy to do. They can be draining, however. While they rarely backfire, you should still use any magical protection you deem necessary.

Blessing spells are ideal for beginner witches, so don’t be afraid to try one.

It also helps to meditate before you go into a blessing or any spell, really. You just want to clear your head as much as possible.

  9. Go inside, and thank the object for holding your intention. That's it!

How To Bless Jewelry In Witchcraft

If you want to learn how to bless jewelry, you can start by following a simple three-step process: cleansing the jewelry, blessing it, and claiming it as your own. Here’s a brief overview of each step to help guide you on your journey:

First, you’ll need to cleanse the jewelry of any negative energies. To do this, place your necklace or amulet under running water. If you don’t have access to running water, a bowl of water will do just fine. Hold the jewelry in your hands while it’s under the water, allowing the water to wash away any negativity. Think of this step as giving your jewelry a fresh start.

Next, it’s time to bless your jewelry. While the jewelry is still in the water, close your eyes and say a prayer or ask for divine assistance to purify and bless your jewelry. You may ask your gods, deities, or the universe to bless the item with positive energy. Hold the jewelry in this state for about a minute, and then pat it dry once you’re done.

Finally, it’s time to claim the jewelry as your own. Wear the jewelry against your skin for the next week or so—about 7 to 9 days—to bond with it. As you wear the jewelry, it will become attuned to your energy and emotions. It’s important to keep the jewelry close to you during this time, and avoid letting others touch it.

And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you can bless your jewelry and turn it into a powerful talisman or amulet. Whether you’re new to the practice or a seasoned practitioner, this process is accessible to all and can be done with a sincere and open heart.

A Simple Prayer To Bless An Object

Objects, talismans, and amulets have long been revered in the world of witchcraft and spirituality for their ability to hold and radiate energies that can aid in various forms of magickal work. Whether it’s a crystal necklace, a ritual wand, or a cherished heirloom, imbuing an object with intention and blessings can amplify its inherent qualities and transform it into a powerful tool for manifesting desires, offering protection, and enhancing spiritual connection.

The act of blessing an object is a sacred practice that involves invoking divine energies and aligning the object with one’s intentions. Through the power of spoken words and focused visualization, the practitioner can cleanse and consecrate the object, allowing it to become a conduit for positive and empowering energies. Whether you are a solitary practitioner or part of a coven, the act of blessing is an intimate and meaningful ritual that reflects your unique spiritual path.

The following prayer is a simple yet potent invocation that can be used to bless an object of your choosing. Crafted with reverence and intention, this prayer calls upon the Divine Spirit and the Sacred Elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—to infuse the object with love, guidance, protection, and magick. The words spoken in the prayer serve as a conduit for manifesting your desires and aligning the object with your highest intentions.

Whether you’re using it to bless a crystal for healing work, a talisman for spiritual guidance, or an amulet for protection, this prayer is adaptable to any object you wish to consecrate.

Before reciting the prayer, take a moment to center yourself and connect with the energies around you. Hold the object in your hands, and visualize it being bathed in a radiant light, clearing away any unwanted energies and making it a vessel for your intentions.

As you speak the words of the prayer, allow your heart to be filled with gratitude and reverence for the Divine and the Elements, knowing that they are working in harmony to support and enhance your magickal journey.

With an open heart and a clear mind, you are now ready to recite the prayer to bless your chosen object. As you speak each word, know that you are imbuing the object with the energies of love, wisdom, and power, creating a magickal tool that will serve you in your spiritual practice and beyond.

Divine Spirit, hear my plea,
Bless this object close to me.
Infuse it with your loving light,
To guide and protect both day and night.

Sacred Elements, Earth, Air, Fire, and Sea,
Bestow your blessings, so mote it be.
May it carry grace, and may it shine,
With magick of the pure divine.

For love, for healing, for wisdom and power,
I charge this object in this very hour.
With gratitude, I honor this rite,
To bless this object with your sacred light.

As above, so below, and so it shall be,
This object is blessed, so mote it be.

How To Cast A Good Luck Spell On An Object

To cast a good luck spell on an object, begin by selecting an item that you believe will attract good fortune. It could be anything from a cherished lucky charm to a newly acquired talisman that you feel a strong connection to. Once you have chosen the object, it is crucial to cleanse it to remove any negative energy. This can be done by smudging the object with sage smoke or by rinsing it under cold water.

After cleansing the object, hold it in your hands and concentrate on your intentions for the spell. Envision yourself surrounded by a bright aura of good luck and positive vibes. As you focus on this image, recite the following incantation either out loud or in your mind:

“I charge you with the power of good luck,
May all who see you be blessed with fortune,
And may all who touch you be graced with luck.”

Repeat the incantation three times or more, as needed. Feel free to adjust the words to make them more personal to you. The key is to recite them with confidence and a clear intention.

Finally, place the enchanted object in a special location, such as a personal altar or a designated shelf, where it won’t be disturbed. Leave it there for at least 24 hours to allow the energies of the spell to fully integrate with the object. After this period, the object will be charged with the power of good luck and ready to bring positive energy into your life.

By following these simple steps, you can successfully cast a good luck spell on an object of your choice. Whether it’s to enhance your own fortune or to share good luck with a loved one, this spell is a powerful tool for attracting prosperity and success.

  2. Working With Hekate During The Full Moon

    During the full moon, we call upon Hekate to assist us in clearing our past, releasing our fears, and opening ourselves to new possibilities. We ask her to help us gain clarity in our lives, to help us transform our inner worlds, and to allow us to move forward with courage and confidence.

    It is said that Hekate helps us to overcome obstacles and challenges that stand in our way, and to achieve our goals. In addition to being a benevolent Goddess, she is also a fierce warrior. When we summon her, we invite her to help us take charge of our lives, to lead us into battle, and to fight for justice.

    I am an eclectic witch - I've been practicing since 1974. As a student of the occult, working with astrology, tarot cards, runes, and numerology, I found that this was a very comprehensive and well written text on working with Hekate during the full moon. Highly recommended. - Gail Sager

    Great read - a must have for anyone interested in working with the Goddess during the full moon! Highly recommended! - Luis Meyer
