Cleansing with coarse salt is one of the most well-known popular rituals when it comes to preparing a home for new residents. The practice consists of dissolving the salt in water and using the mixture to clean floors and surfaces, generally after conventional cleaning of the property. Salt is traditionally associated with purification and protection, which is why the ritual is usually performed before the definitive arrival of the residents.

2. Smudging with rosemary, rue or sage

Smudging consists of producing smoke from burning certain herbs and guiding it through the projects of the house. Rosemary, rue, sage and other plants frequently appear in popular energy cleansing practices, in which the smoke symbolizes the removal of energies considered negative. The ritual can be done by passing the smoke through the rooms, with special attention to corners, doors and windows.

3. Placing rice or grains at the entrance

Rice appears in different rituals related to abundance and prosperity. When arriving at a new home, a popular practice consists of placing a small amount of raw rice in a container near the entrance or at another chosen spot to represent the arrival of abundance to the home. The same principle can be applied to other grains, such as beans and lentils, also associated with food abundance.

4. Lighting a white candle on the first night

The white candle is frequently used in practices of purification, peace and protection. To mark the arrival at a new home, the ritual can consist of lighting it for a few minutes on the first night, in a safe place, while making a prayer, a wish or a simple intention for the new phase.

5. Cooking the first meal in the new home

Preparing a meal in the new home is another simple ritual to mark the move. Instead of ordering food or having the first meal out, the idea is to cook in the property itself and gather residents or close people around the table. The chosen food can also carry a meaning. Lentils, for example, are traditionally associated with prosperity, while bread appears related to abundance.

6. Making a toast to inaugurate the house

The inauguration toast turns the arrival into a moment of celebration. Once the first pieces of furniture are installed, residents can gather family and friends to raise their glasses and make wishes for the new phase, such as health, prosperity, tranquility, or good relationships. The practice is especially interesting because it creates a memory associated with the home from the very beginning.

7. Sleeping in the house for the first time

Spending the first night at the new address can be the ritual that closes the move. After transporting belongings and organizing the projects, sleeping there for the first time establishes a different relationship with the space, which is no longer just a property and begins to become part of the routine.
