Tap into the summer spirit for setting up your own sacred space. Start by gathering sea salt and lemon juice. Set up your space in your usual manner. Have a bowl of warm water on the altar and burn sandalwood incense. Add the sea salt and lemon juice to the water. Hold the bowl up to the Goddess, and ask that this liquid be blessed with the powers of purification and protection. Starting in the north, go around your home, sprinkling the water in each room. Be sure to include all doorways, windows, closets, and vents. Say as you go:

May this house be blessed
by the Goddess, so that
only the most beneficial
energies might enter.
