Drive out negative influences:
Each person makes a burnable object. Make it ugly and fill it with unpleasant thoughts, feelings and material objects.
Take a noise maker and go into the house and move widdershins from room to room making a racket and telling all negative influences and energies to go away, they are not wanted in this place. Visualize these powers leaving the house or, for the more resistant entities, being absorbed into the burnable object.
Move out of the house and move widdershins around the property still making noise and seeing the ugly object sucking up all negative energies.
Meet back at the fire and move around the firepit, still in a widdershins direction while chanting "Leave, you are not wanted, you have no place here, go away." Weave your voices together, phrases on top of phrases. When it feels right, drop the objects into the fire and hoop and holler.
(When Robert burned his, the fire flared up really high!)
When all are burned completely, begin the next phase.
Welcoming positive influences.
Each person makes a beautiful object, filled with frankincense and myrrh and a personal selection of herbs.
Take a musical instrument and begin outside this time. Start in the East and move around the property deosil, waving the pretty object, making pretty sounds and chanting, "Come, joy, come peace. Come excitement and love... etc" Complete a full circle around the yard, then enter the house. Move around deosil into every room, especially around doors, windows, telephone jacks, electrical sockets and mirrors.
Meet back at the fire pit, moving deosil. Again, weave voices into each other while welcoming the positive energies and influences. At the height of power, cast objects into the fire to release fragrant burning herbs.
