The other day I noticed a post on my cousin’s social media that got me thinking. It was a meme and didn’t have a source so I set out to find out more. I found the quote at https://mysticheartsong.com/talk-to-your-house/
I was able to learn a little more about these house spirits at https://otherworldlyoracle.com/household...s-fairies/
Some means of getting yourself a household spirit wasn’t so great.
I’m not sure if this is an ancient belief or not as this is the first time I’ve seen it and there wasn’t a lot out there to read on the subject.
I do know for myself that I have never really been nice to my house. I’ve even said aloud how I don’t like it. I thought about that after reading this.
It started out as a tiny A Frame. We then built on using recycled lumber from at least three houses we tore down. One was my husband’s great grandparents old home.
My house does seem dark and heavy most of the time. Now I wonder if I forced all the different house spirits into one space?
Maybe I’ll try talking to it.
Quote:“Your house is a sentient being with it’s own spirit and soul. Some people identify this spirit as their household deities or friendly house spirits. But people have all together forgotten how important the spirit of the house is.
Talk to your house. Houses that have been ignored tend to be dull, tired, and susceptible to hauntings and negative energies. So talk to your house, listen to its aches and pains, say hello. Tell it that you come in peace, tell it that you are there to listen to it speak. Be grateful to your house. And watch the energies of your home transform themselves into joy.” ~ Jen Mccarty

Quote:Our ancestors believed everything in nature had consciousness. When trees were cut down and other things from nature were used to build a home the fairies attached to these items were brought into the home. Others believed the fairies occupying the landscape where a home was built became domestic household spirits.

Quote:Other methods of acquiring a household spirit were disturbing. In some areas of Eastern Europe and Asia, when a new home was built a human being was sacrificed and buried in the walls or under the hearth. The victim’s spirit was eternally tied to the home and became the household god and guardian.
