The Violet Witch 

The Master Bedroom is one of the most important magickal places in your home. It is the place you connect with yourself, your lovers, your family and even your Ancestors. On average, an adult spends about one-third of their life in their bedroom, which works out to roughly: 8–9 hours per day (mostly sleeping, plus getting dressed, resting, reading, or decompressing), 56–63 hours per week, 2,900–3,300 hours per year...that is A LOT of time! Sleep is a natural altered state of consciousness. Every night, you cross into the dreamworld, the ancestral realm, and the subconscious. That makes the bedroom a gateway space...a place where intuition, messages, and healing come through more easily than anywhere else in the home. Over time, the room becomes imprinted with your essence, almost like a personal talisman. That’s why cleansing, warding, and intentional decoration here matters so much, you’re literally shaping the energetic field that shapes you in return. The body repairs itself in sleep. Spiritually, the same thing happens. In many traditions, the master bedroom functions as the energetic heart of the home, not the kitchen or living room. It’s where the home’s energy settles at night and redistributes at dawn. If this space is calm, protected, and intentional, the whole house benefits. Private vows are spoken here, such as 'I'll make it thru this'. Spoken aloud in bed, vows sink into the bones of the house. The walls remember them. That’s why bedside magick is so potent. 

​

• It is best to put your headboard toward the West (Water) it is cooling. I suggest NOT facing the South (Fire) you can feel over heated. Don’t have your bed facing the door, all energies will keep you up or haunt you.

• Love your décor! Fun lights, mosquito netting above the bed, glow-in-the-dark paint,

• Cleanse (Sage) your room weekly, I do this on the days I change my sheets.

• Hang plants.

• Meditate each morning.

• Keep a dream Journal.

• Work on your tarot cards until you fall asleep.

• Place crystals under your pillow.

• Hang a dreamcatcher in the window to filter out the bad dreams.

• Herbs placed inside your pillowcase (Mugwort active dreams).

• Place piece of steel and/or Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields from electromagnetic frequencies, negativity and psychic attacks.

• For a better sex life burn damiana, rose, cinnamon or jasmine.

• Place crystals and stones around your room, rose quartz (for love), selenite (for peaceful sleep) and obsidian (for grounding and protection)

• Bring an air of magick to your room with curtains, make them eye pleasing.

• Hang herb sachets above your bed (Lavender for anxiety and depression, Mugwort for dreams).

• Place sigils around your bed/on your headboard.
