Before you begin

Prepare your space.

Choose the entrance you use most. Clean its surface and decide what welcome and protection mean for your household.

Read all the steps

The working

A little space, made yours

  1. Name the welcome

    Write three things invited here, such as rest, honest speech and mutual care.

    Purpose & source context

    Gives the ward a specific purpose.

    Original editorial step

  2. Draw the boundary

    Draw a closed shape around those words and add: 'Only what honors this welcome may cross.'

    Purpose & source context

    The enclosing line is the boundary in this original working.

    Original editorial step

  3. Set the ward

    Place the paper inside the doorway where it will stay dry. If using water, touch a damp finger to the frame.

    Purpose & source context

    Connects the written intention with the actual entrance.

    Original editorial step

  4. Speak the charge

    Say: 'This is a kept threshold. Let welcome enter; let malice pass by; let those within stand whole.' Repeat slowly three times.

    Purpose & source context

    Voice and repetition establish the charge.

    Original editorial step

To close

Carry it forward.

Touch the frame once, say 'The threshold is kept,' and leave the ward in place.

Review the wording after a week. Renew deliberately when damaged or when the household's needs change.
