To magically cleanse your home and set wards of protection:

You want to start by first doing a thorough spring cleaning. (This is more of an Autumn cleaning, because the best time to do this is near Samhain. I usually try to do this just after the last Full Moon before Samhain. The best time would be a Friday or Saturday, near dusk, after the 15th of the month, and before the New Moon. This would make it darkening hour, darkening day, darkening week, darkening season and darkening year. (NOTE: This can be done any time of the year that you feel cleansing and setting of the wards is necessary, but I do this once yearly to reinforce everything).
Go through your entire home first sprinkling salt. Second go through with a protective incense. (Frankincense, Sandalwood, and Rosemary are a good combination for this). Next, go through with a lit candle. (I use black to absorb and deflect negativity). Next go through sprinkling water. Note: the important thing to remember as you do this is that you are bringing joy and laughter into your home to replace any negativity you are sending out. So, if you are alone it might be a good idea to sing some songs as you do this that make you feel really good and bring you happiness. If others are helping you, then laugh and tell jokes and have a good time.
To set the wards: place a piece of onyx over every doorway and window. Place rose quartz on either side of the front door, and a large clear quartz in the center of your home to keep all the other stones on track. You can also bury protective runes at the East, South, West and North corners of your home.
