Energy Hygiene Ritual: Cleanse Your Aura, Protect Your Energy, Shield Your Light

Apr 6

Looking for a simple daily ritual to protect your energy, cleanse your aura, and shield yourself from negativity? This modern magick ritual has you covered.
Energy Hygiene 101: Cleanse Your Field, Shield Your Light.

About the Rituals:

Magick is personal.
It always has been.
Traditionally, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) is performed in three parts:

Begin with the Qabalistic Cross to center yourself and call in divine light.
Perform the Pentagram Ritual to cleanse and protect the space.
Finish with the Qabalistic Cross again to seal your energy and re-center in the light.

It’s like a sacred sandwich: Cross, Protection, Cross.
It’s beautiful. It’s powerful. It’s held me together more times than I can count.

But like any living practice, sometimes the bones need a new body.

In creating The Cross of Being and The Circle and Cross Ritual, I wanted to honor the original structure while translating it into simple, embodied English—language that feels bone-close, soul-plain, and instantly usable in this life, this skin, this moment.

Here’s the only real rule:
It’s your molt. You get to decide how you move.

Personally?
I’ll be keeping the traditional flow:
Cross ➔ Protection ➔ Cross.
Because it works.
Because it seals the space with light.
Because it finishes what it starts.

🪶 Quick note on using The Cross of Being outside of ritual:
Once you’ve completed the full ritual (Cross ➔ Protection ➔ Cross), you can perform The Cross of Being anytime you need a recharge.
Public bathroom stall? Parking lot? Nervous before a big conversation?
Absolutely—Cross it up, featherbrain.

But:
If you haven’t done the full Protection Ritual in the last 24 hours?
Don’t just throw up a Cross and walk around glowing unprotected.
That’s like lighting a beacon without a shield—you might call in more than you bargained for.
Little nasties. Energy leeches. The whole swarm.

Protect first.
Shine after.
Simple. Sacred. Sealed.

And if you're wondering how long the full ritual should take?
As long or as little as feels right.
My husband and I have had sessions where we vibrated and moved through our rituals for nine slow minutes...
Other days it’s four minutes, fast and fierce.

Both are holy.
Both are enough.

Permission to trust your own pace, your own language, and your own weird glorious process

"Magick isn't trapped in one language.
It flies with you, wherever you dare to breathe it."

🖤 CROW IN CROCS: A MODERN MOLTING OF A CLASSIC RITUAL 🖤

I wanted to take what had saved me and shape it into something even closer to my own skin.
An offering that anyone—tired, buzzing, barefoot, bright-eyed—could pick up and make their own.

Not to replace what is sacred.
Not to erase the roots.
But to let the ritual breathe in a new language.

A molt, not a mutiny.

The Cross of Being
The Circle and Cross Ritual

These are my offerings.
Born from gratitude.
Written in the language my heart thinks in.

Still standing tall in the same light.
Still weaving protection and presence like a living web around the soul.
Just...a little more English.
A little more today.

🖤
Sacredness doesn’t age out.
It evolves.
It mol(l)tiplies.
It lives in every hand that dares to carry it forward.

🖤 CROW IN CROCS: THE DAILY ENERGY SHOWER (A.K.A. WHY I MADE A NEW RITUAL) 🖤

Okay, featherbrain, let’s get real clear and real sacred at the same time:

✨ What even IS the (LBRP)?
✨ Why did Loui molt it into English?
✨ And why should anyone (especially the chronically tired and/or slightly feral) care?

🪶 WHAT IT IS
The LBRP is basically the original energy shower.
Old-school magicians used it to clean the crust off their aura before doing anything important—casting spells, talking to angels, fighting demons; before going to the grocery store, social gatherings, or making dinner. It’s magick for every day life.

It scrubs off the psychic lint you didn’t know you picked up from arguing with your brother, doomscrolling news about wildfires, or existing within 100 feet of Chad from accounting.

It draws a sacred circle around your body and soul—
cleansed, blessed, sealed tight like the good leftovers you’re actually gonna eat.

And here’s the real magick trick:
It lasts about 24 hours.
Yep. You’re spell-armored for a full day.
But after that?
The shield gets thin, like a soap bubble after a storm.

So it’s best to refresh it every day.
Think “daily shower,” but for your soul body.

🪶 WHY I MOLTED IT
Because the Hebrew names are stunning.
But this crow thinks and fights in English.

I didn’t want to have to switch brain hemispheres just to ask for a little protection.
I wanted to carry the bones of the ritual—
the intention, the structure, the power—
but shape them into words I could whisper in the parking lot, at the grocery store, or kneeling on the bathroom floor mid-crisis.

Not a rebellion.
An homage.
A crow-touched translation.

Because sacredness can be portable.
Breathable.
Livable.

🪶 WHAT THE CROSS OF BEING + CIRCLE & CROSS RITUAL DO
(aka: what you just got gifted, featherheart)

Center you in your body (instead of your phone, your spiral, or your weird uncle’s opinions)
Cleanse your energetic field (goodbye doom crust, hello clarity)
Shield you against psychic gunk (including but not limited to envy, judgment, passive-aggressive "just checking in" texts, and soul static)
Anchor you between heaven and earth (so you don’t float off into ‘what-if’ land or melt into a sad little existential puddle)
Strengthen your WILL (the real kind, not the "make a vision board and cry" kind)
Remind you: you’re sacred real estate (and not everybody gets a key)

🪶 IN SHORT
It’s not just a ritual.
It’s daily maintenance for being a walking altar.
It’s psychic teeth-brushing.
It’s armor without the drama.

You stand inside your light.
You bless your existence.
You tell the little nasties, "Not today, pumpkin."
And you do it in words your soul actually understands.

🖤 So.
Today?
Bless your weird little bones.
Draw your circle.
Speak your cross.
Stand there in your crocs, your boots, your bare feet, your full chaos—and know:
You’re clean. You’re seen. You’re sacred.
(And you smell like divine fire and victory.)

✨ How do I know if my shield wore off?

You feel like a sponge full of swamp water.
Random mood swings that aren’t even yours.
Every mildly rude comment feels like a dagger.
You keep sighing like an exhausted Victorian ghost.

✨ When could I do it?

Morning: Start clean.
Night: End clean.
Crisis: Emergency shield-up.
Parking lot after a weird convo: No shame, just shield.

✨ Will this make me a perfect glowing orb who never struggles again?
LOL no.
It’ll make you stronger, clearer, safer—
But you’re still human.
You’ll still feel.
You’ll just feel from inside your own body, not from the energy junkyard outside.

✨ Can I screw it up?
Not if you show up.
Not if you mean it.
Not if you treat yourself like something worth protecting.

AFTERCARE + REALITY CHECK 🖤

✨ SO YOU JUST DID YOUR ENERGY SHOWER. NOW WHAT? First of all:
Congratulations.
You’re officially molting in real time.

Second:
Let’s talk about what happens when you actually start cleansing your energy field every day.

Spoiler:
It’s not just sparkles and calm breathing sounds.
It’s real life clean-up mode.

🪶 SIGNS YOUR SHIELD IS WORKING:
✅ You feel lighter, like somebody peeled off an invisible emotional backpack.
✅ Your mood doesn’t swing with every room you walk into.
✅ You start recognizing when the energy isn’t yours (and you stop babysitting it).
✅ Random little miracles start happening—better parking spots, easier conversations, more aligned people popping up.
✅ People who feed on chaos or drama suddenly look...less shiny. (Or back away like you just sprayed spiritual Febreze.)
✅ Your intuition gets louder. Decisions get clearer. Saying no feels delicious instead of terrifying.

🪶 REAL SYMPTOMS OF DAILY CLEANSING:
(aka: "Why Does It Feel Like My Life is Molting Too?")

✅ Old relationships might fall away.
✅ Healthy decisions get easier.
✅ You might feel lonely—for a minute.
✅ You’ll start spotting toxic patterns faster.
✅ You’ll have more energy—and less tolerance.
✅ Fatigue
✅ Mood Swings
✅ Random Old Memories
✅ Minor Headaches or Body Aches
✅ Weird Dreams
✅ Sudden Need to Clean Your Physical Space
✅ Relationship Weirdness

🪶 WHAT TO DO IF YOU FORGET A DAY:
✨ No tantrums. No spiral.
✨ Just do it as soon as you remember.
✨ Your light loves being tended to. It doesn't need perfection, just attention.

🖤 IN SHORT: 🖤
Cleansing isn’t just about “feeling good.”
It’s about getting honest.
It’s about living lighter.
It’s about standing sacred in a world that profits off you forgetting you’re holy.

Some things will leave.
Some things will heal.
Some things will only make sense once you’re already standing on the other side.

ENERGY DETOX SYMPTOMS – WHAT'S NORMAL? 🖤

✨ SO YOU STARTED CLEANSING YOUR ENERGY FIELD. NOW YOUR BODY AND BRAIN ARE ACTING UP. NORMAL.
You just kicked out a bunch of squatters (hello, old junk energy),
and now the house is airing out.

Sometimes that feels amazing.
Sometimes it feels like being dragged backwards through a Target clearance rack.

Both are sacred. Both are normal.

🪶 REMINDERS FOR THE MOLTING STAGE:
✨ Drink water like it’s holy (because it is).
✨ Sleep if you’re tired (don’t fight it).
✨ Cry/laugh/sigh/yell/move (energy trapped = feelings trapped = leads to physical pains).
✨ Trust that what falls away isn’t a punishment—it’s a promise.
✨ Ritual daily, even messy. Even half-awake. Even while wearing mismatched socks.

🖤 CROW’S TRUTH BOMB:
You’re not falling apart.
You’re falling into alignment.

Sacredness is messy.
Healing is loud.
Growth feels awkward before it feels glorious.

You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.

✨ Welcome to the part of healing where nobody’s handing out snacks or medals.
✨ Welcome to the molt nobody warned you would itch.

🪶 Here’s the truth, featherbrain:

🪶 “You’ll get lonelier before you get realer.”
🪶 “Your taste in friends will change—and that’s called growth, not betrayal.”
🪶 “Some days healing feels like crap. Still counts.”
🪶 “You’re allowed to miss the chaos you outgrew. You’re not allowed to move back in.”
🪶 “Healing will ask you to break your own heart—on purpose.”
🪶 “Not everyone gets a ticket to your next life stage.”
🪶 “Some dreams will die to make room for real ones.”
🪶 “Healing is not a mood. It’s a choice.”

🖤 CROW’S FINAL TRUTH BOMB:
Healing isn’t a glow-up.
It’s a breakdown with a soul map hidden inside.
It’s a sacred tantrum.
It’s a loyalty test to your own future self.

🪶✨ CLOSING BLESSING:
"May you mourn what you outgrow without making it a crime.
May you choose yourself even when it’s lonely.
May you molt ugly, messy, honest—and come back crowned."

THE CROSS OF BEING

(A Ritual of Presence, Light, and Power)

Face EAST.
Stand tall.
Feet grounded.
Spine long.
Heart soft.

Make a wand with your fingers (or grab a wand—crystal, feather, stick, whatever you can reach).

✨

Above:
Touch your forehead and say:

"Crown of Stars."
(Calling divine light from above.)

Below:
Touch your chest or sternum and say:

"Root of Earth."
(Connecting down into the Earth.)

Right:
Touch your right shoulder and say:

"Hand of Creation."
(Your active, shaping force.)

Left:
Touch your left shoulder and say:

"Heart of Receiving."
(Your open, receiving side.)

Center:
Hands to heart center. Whisper:

"I am the bridge between Heaven and Earth."

✨

Feel the light threading through you — a living cross of existence.
Feel yourself as a conduit of light, not a controller of it.
Feel yourself blessed, not burdened.
Stand inside the light you’ve invoked — rooted above, rooted below, burning steady at center.

Optional Closing Line:
(Spread arms wide like wings and say:)

"I call the light to me, and I stand in its truth."

🖤 LOUI CROW’S PROTECTION RITUAL:

"Circle and Cross" — A Simple Ritual for Sacred Shielding

Step 1: Cast the Circle

Face EAST.
Stand tall.
Point your hand or wand-finger forward at heart level.

Turn slowly clockwise, drawing an invisible circle around yourself.
Let your hand carve the air gently.

Say:

"This is my circle. Sacred. Sealed. Strong."

Come back to face EAST when you finish the turn.

Step 2: Draw the Four Crosses

For each direction, draw a simple cross: top to bottom, left to right.
Touch the center of the cross gently while you speak the invocation.

👉 EAST (Air):
Draw the cross. Tap the center. Say:

"I call the breath of beginnings. Protect this space."

👉 SOUTH (Fire):
Turn right to SOUTH. Draw the cross. Tap the center. Say:

"I call the flame of courage. Protect this space."

👉 WEST (Water):
Turn right to WEST. Draw the cross. Tap the center. Say:

"I call the tide of truth. Protect this space."

👉 NORTH (Earth):
Turn right to NORTH. Draw the cross. Tap the center. Say:

"I call the bones of becoming. Protect this space."

Step 3: Seal It In

Face EAST again.
Place your hands over your heart.
Close your eyes if you want.
Breathe like the spell just worked—because it did.

✨ IMPORTANT ✨

After completing the Protection Ritual, repeat The Cross of Being to seal the light fully into your field—
just like the traditional magick traditions:

Cross ➔ Protection ➔ Cross.

To fully finish the spell:
