Doorway Blessing

What It Is

A simple act of marking your threshold to claim your space as protected or intentional.

Why It Helps

Thresholds—doorways, gates, windows—have always been symbolically powerful. Blessing yours reminds you: you get to decide what crosses into your space. It’s an embodied boundary.

What You Need

Water (plain or moon water), salt, or dried herbs like rosemary or lavender. Your intention.

How to Do It

Stand at your doorway. Decide what you’re inviting in (peace, creativity, rest) and what you’re keeping out (chaos, judgment, others’ expectations). Sprinkle water or salt across the threshold, or hang a small bundle of herbs. Speak your intention aloud: “This is a space of rest” or “Only kindness crosses here.”

This Is Not Worship

It’s spatial claiming and psychological anchoring. Thresholds mark boundaries in folklore across cultures—not because of magic, but because intention + action creates meaning.

Variations

Refresh monthly, use oil to anoint the doorframe, or create a welcome mat intention by placing a stone or plant near the entrance.
