I was asked for a purification ritual that did not involve fire/smoke, so I am writing this up here for anyone who may find it useful. Remember that when you perform a purification/cleansing of space, you are creating a vacuum, and that this void must be filled with something. So always remember that once you have performed your purification you must concentrate on what you want to fill that void with. Perhaps a loving energy, peace and tranquility? Be specific and focus on your intent.
Asperging is the sprinkling of a liquid in order to cleanse and purify. For example, you may use fresh water collected from a stream, sea water, morning dew, or rain water. You may stand your water under the midday sun or the midnight moon (or both) to imbue the liquid with solar and lunar energy. You might also want to use essential oils in your water. Asperging can be accomplished using a bundle of fresh herbs that you can dip into the water. Dip the herbs in the liquid and with a quick flick you throw the liquid off the herb and into the area or onto the object to be cleansed. You don’t want or need to have a lot of liquid being thrown. Just small droplets are perfect. Helpful herbs for purification are Mint, Lavender, Pine, and Rosemary.
During your cleansing and purification of your space you can also include a little chant to augment the process. It is best that you write your own chants so that they are specific for the task at hand. It doesn't have to rhyme, but rhyming is helpful. A simple prayer or proclamation of your intent is also very helpful.
