For many people, the simple ritualized act of cleansing can be a perfect way to create a sacred space. You can take a room that gets everyday usage, and by ritually cleansing it, turn it into a place of magic and tranquility. Use methods such as smudging and asperging to ritually cleanse the space prior to use, and you’ll find it makes a big difference in the feel of the place.

You may also wish to perform a ritual that ceremonially dedicates the space and designates it as a magical, sacred place.
