Origin & Lore

House Blessing belongs to the family of named formula oils used to cleanse, bless and protect a household. It is used when moving in, after a difficult time or at any point when a home needs fresh, peaceful energy. Practitioners anoint doors, windows and the hearth.

In many countries a new home is not welcomed with gifts of decor, but with bread and salt.

House blessings are found in nearly every tradition, from priests sprinkling holy water at Epiphany to folk practitioners anointing doors. Spiritual-supply houses sold House Blessing oils, incense and floor washes as a set for families moving into new homes.
