Day 5 - A fresh start

I’d been feeling an uneasy energy in the new house, especially at night I found myself edgy and afraid. The Bandycoot (my boyfriend) laughed off my suggestions of ghosts. It didn’t help my nerves to discover that a previous tenant and her two foster children had died in a terrible car accident just down the road while they were still living here.

I decided to clear the energy and start afresh by doing a smudge with sage right around the house. The Bandycoot was enthusiastic and very positive about clearing out all the old negative energy, and beginning anew. He did most of the waving of the smudge stick while I was more worried about getting sparks on carpet and clothes.

It became quite hazy in the house during the process and we managed to set off both smoke alarms (good to know they work!), but it feels a great deal lighter in here now.
