A bit of threshold magic
We've nearly finished laying the floor in our new apartment and wanted to properly mark this space as ours (this isn't the only way, but part of a range of measures to take).
Putting in a wooden threshold to carve into is preferred, but wasn't an option here.
This was our solution. Partially in keeping with the ancient tradition of burying a sacrifice underneath the floor, combined with a threshold spell, we locked away three sacred herbs (mugwort, chamomile & tansy) and this runic spell. It reads:
"Dit is ons heilig huis
Blijf buiten onrechtmatige
Treed binnen lieve vriend"
"This is our sacred house
Stay out unrightful one (outlaw)
Step inside dear friend"
Mirrored as to act both for those entering and leaving, but much more can be said about that detail.
The herbs were chosen because we had them at hand, and also because we wish their workings to act on our house:
Mugwort for fertility,
Chamomile for calmth and focus,
Tansy to keep out parasites.
Good health to you all!
