"Besom, besom long and lithe
Made from ash and willow withe
Tied with thongs of willow bark
In running stream at moonset dark.
With a pentagram indighted
As the ritual fire is lighted;
Sweep ye circle, deosil,
Sweep out evil, sweep out ill,
Make the round of the ground
Where we do the Lady's will.

 

Besom, besom, Lady's broom
Sweep out darkness, sweep out doom
Rid ye Lady's hallowed ground
Of demons, imps and Hell's red hound;
Then set ye down on Her green earth
By running stream or Mistress' hearth,
'Till called once more on Sabbath night
To cleans once more the dancing site."

"In Mediaeval Germany and Old England, A Hedge Witch was one who knew the opening in the "Hedge between Worlds", and could pass through them easily.

Use the Sacred Hedge  as a  boundary to protect your home against negative energies - the imagery to visualize can be a  beautiful hedge with whatever kind of leaves and greenery you find most lovely, but it should be a brilliant green.

Imagine it having rounded windows in it facing the North, South, East and West, through which glimpses of ethereal lands , or something symbolizing the four elements appear - these are the four quarters.

Now practice visualizing the old Teutonic sign of the Hexefus, which will act as a matrix through which positive energy flows into the sacred space.  The six pointed Hexefus (also called Gluckster) is a version of the ninth "Mother Rune" Hagall, or Haegl, andis a potent sign of the Witch-Goddess, Dame Holda.  Remember that Holda can also be seen as the energy of Hecate, Kali or any of a number of Dark Goddesses, including Diana the Huntress adn the Italian Aradia.

Visualize the six-pointed Hexefus in brilliant blue - like a star or a snowflake , then visualize the brilliant green Sacred Hedge with it's four directional windows.
