A person might just be moving into their home and wants to anoint and celebrate their new space, or there could be negative energy in the house they want cleared.

'I think it's becoming more common in general that people come to the conclusion that there's some negative spirit or some curse on them, and that's surprising to me,' says Sallie Ann Glassman, an ordained practitioner of Haitian Vodou and owner of Island of Salvation Botanica, a Vodou supply shop. Feel like there's something wrong about your space that tidying up or re-arranging the furniture won't fix? You're not the only one.
