We have seen a lot of interest in egg cleansing because of TikTok videos. Egg cleansing is not a new way of clearing energy — in fact it has been done for hundreds of years in many different cultures. It is believed that the egg shell captures fractured bits of negativity that are clinging to you and causing you problems or distress.
To do an egg cleansing, take any kind of egg and turn it counterclockwise to “wind it up.” Then move the egg around the top of your head, envisioning it picking up all bits of negative energy from your body. Move downward, around your face, neck, chest, arms and legs until you reach your feet.
Once you have removed the negativity, you can either “read” the egg or simply dispose of it.
If you choose to dispose of the egg: Put it in a plastic bag, crush the egg and bury it at a crossroads. The crossroads is used so that the negative energy will be bound at the intersection because it doesn’t know which direction you left in. Once you bury the egg, leave immediately without looking back.
If you choose to read the egg: Crack it and drop the egg yolk and white into a clear glass jar halfway filled with water. Allow it to settle for a minute and then read what you see. It’s a form of scrying so you will look for patterns and signs:
- Cloudiness can mean negativity was collected
- Strings could mean that something was connected to you
- Patterns that look like fire or eyes could mean that someone is watching you or sending hate in your direction
- The yolk represents the person being cleansed and the white represents others
- A piece of shell in the glass indicates your protective barrier has been breached
- If the egg is clear, you are thought to be free of entanglements
Once you are finished reading the egg, flush it down the toilet or bury it at a crossroads.
If you see something in the symbols that concerns you, take a ritual bath, do a smoke cleansing, use a ritual floor wash in your home, or find some kind of spell work that brings you comfort. If you need assistance, make an appointment for a reading with one of the Crone’s Hollow House Readers. Appointments are necessary for this type of help.
