Visualize each item releasing its scent and magical power into your home, creating a space filled with joy, peace, and protection.

🔒 Seal It with a Spell
Once filled, hold the pouch in your hands and say:

“By firelight and winter’s chill,
I call forth protection, peace, and goodwill.
Let this home be filled with joy and cheer,
Guarded well throughout the year.
As I will it, so shall it be.”

Then tie the sachet closed, sealing in your spell.
