Where New Year’s is perfect for releasing old spiritual energies that bound us to the previous year, April is perfect for releasing energies that may be bogging down our physical space.
Right along with the first spring buds, we too naturally start looking at the dirt around us and getting the itch to poke our heads out of it. And it’s finally getting warm enough to do so!
Here are some terrifically witchy Spring Cleaning Rituals and ideas that we think you’ll LOVE!
Prepare Yourself Spiritually, BRAINSTORM, & Get Excited for Your Results!
For inspiration, you can use a dab of our Focus & Inspiration Oil on your forehead and take a moment to fill your lungs with some fresh cool outdoor air. Afterward, with pen in hand, make a quick runthrough of your space. Jot down what areas may stand out as wanting cleansed and beautified. Pick one to three of these small areas and visualize each one SPARKLING! Feel the joy of each space glowing with the energy of renewal BEFORE you even start. (Find all Twichery Focus & Inspiration products HERE.)
Invite Your Guides
We think your guides ESPECIALLY love our elemental oils, so those are available HERE.
Consider Your Altar
The best part about cleaning your altar is its concise space can be renewed and made glorious again in a very short time. Whether your altar is springy or on the darker side, Twichery has the perfect altar broom for your vibe! (Find our current selection of brooms HERE.) (Sign up to MAKE your own altar broom HERE!)
Perform an Exorcism or a Banishing
Hopefully you don’t need this, but if it is needed, we thought now might be a good time to mention it. Here are all our Defense & Banishing Oils.
Buy (or Make!) A Broom
Few things feel as lovely as having the broom you ADORE in your hands. Rowan always says to me, “You don’t sweep with a Twichery Broom; you dance with it, and when you look back, the floor is clean!” Your broom is your trusty dance partner who turns cleaning into a delight every single time.
Twichery has small altar brooms, cobweb brooms, full-size brooms, hearth brooms and beautiful witchy besoms for all of your sweeping and flying needs! (We haven't listed all our brooms yet, so keep posted!)
(Note: Not all of our brooms are currently shown on this website. To see our full-sized brooms and besoms, we'll get a LIVE show schedule up here soon. Or you can email rowan@twicherybrooms.com for a personal appointment in her living room.) If you want to make your own broom, here is our current available list of broom weaving classes!
You can also go to the Mercantile at Gardner Village in Midvale (1100 W 7800 S #2, West Jordan, UT 84088) and see if your darling broom baby is already there waiting for you!
Don’t forget to place a drop of Twichery Cleanse & Release OR Uncross & Banish formula into your cleaning solutions.
Of course! Those are BOTH on sale during our Spring Cleaning Campaign! Here is our page of all our Spring Cleaning products that are currently on sale!

Begin Your Spring Cleaning (and Even Finish It Plus Some If You’re Sufficiently Motivated!)
Don’t be surprised if your joy over a few renewed small spaces spills over into all the surrounding areas of your home and turns into a frenzied cleaning spree! When the bug bites, let it! (But remember, don’t force! Spring is about renewal and enjoyment, not drudgery!)
After Your Spring Cleaning, Walk Through Your Home with Burning Sage & a Song!
(Sage soon to be available here.)
Go For a Nature Walk (or a Few Nature Walks!)
There’s nothing like a nature walk on a fresh spring day to awaken all your senses and send a message to your soul that it’s time for a new beginning and Old Man Winter is FINALLY crawling into his grave.
Plan (Don’t Plant!) Your Garden
When you’re itching to start planting but it’s still just a tad too cold, it’s the PERFECT time to organize your garden layout and to select appropriate seeds. That way you’ll be able to scratch that itch without getting too crazy too early!
Plan Your May Fertility Rituals
It’s so satisfying to sketch out what you want to do for a ritual, take your time in gathering your needed ingredients, and then watch your ritual blossom before your eyes!
Fertility rituals can include collecting and using your own menstrual blood in your garden, digging up horn manure that you may have placed in the ground in the fall (hopefully you marked that spot!), and even making love to your darling in preparation for the coming of a new baby. Get creative! We want your fertility rituals themselves to herald all the joys your harvest is sure to bring!

Our Fertility & Elemental Oils SALE is happening from April 17th until May 16th, so be sure you're subscribed to get your SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE via email during NEXT MONTH'S SALE. And remember: That 20% OFF code is FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY!
Eat Carrot Cake When You’re Done!
Carrot cake is just screaming SPRING to me right now, so I’m going to go grab some, and I thought I’d make that my last and SWEETEST Spring Cleaning Ritual recommendation. Eat it with a prayer. And if you live in Utah, Rowan and I SPECIFICALLY recommend HARMON’S Carrot Cake (and none other unless you’re making it yourself.) (Find a Harmon’s bakery near you here.)
Please feel free to share YOUR Spring Cleaning Rituals with us at the end of this blog post! We are so excited for your RESULTS!!
Sincerely, Basil (& Rowan) at Twichery!
