The veil is at its thinnest at this time of year, so it's the perfect time to clear negative energy from your home. This simmer pot will chase away the gloomies while ushering in coziness and warmth.

Begin in the morning with a large soup pot filled ¾ of the way with water. Turn an apple sideways on a cutting board and slice it into 9 pieces so the pentagram made through the core and seeds may be seen. Place these in the pot.

Next add 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, and 9 whole cloves. Stir the pot 9 times clockwise and say:

Clear my house of what should not be.
Fill it instead with comfort for me.

Set the flame to low and allow to simmer for 9 hours, adding more water throughout the day if necessary.
