      • Incense: Burning incense, such as frankincense or sandalwood, can help to purify and elevate the energy of the ritual space.

      Cleanse the ritual space. You can do this by smudging with sage or by using a saltwater solution to sprinkle around the area.

      Close the ritual by saying a closing prayer or blessing. This can be a traditional prayer or something that you create yourself. The important thing is to express your gratitude and seal the energy of the ritual.
