Magical Spring Cleaning: Clearing Energy Blocks to Your Authentic Self

There’s something about spring that stirs us. The energy shifts. The light lengthens. And suddenly, we feel the itch to declutter, not just our homes, but our minds, our schedules, and our souls.

It’s no coincidence. Spring is a season of awakening and in magick, that means making space for the self we’re becoming.

While physical cleaning has its place (and yes, I will absolutely be purging my tea station), magical spring cleaning is about much more than tidying up. It’s about identifying and releasing the energy blocks, stuck patterns, and outdated beliefs that are cluttering your inner world.

Because to live, and practice, as your authentic self, you need room to breathe. Room to be.

Let’s make that space together.

What Are Energy Blocks?

Energy blocks are the stagnant, sticky, or heavy places in your system where flow has been interrupted. They can show up in the body, the home, the aura, the emotional field, or even in your spellwork. You might feel creatively or spiritually stuck, repeating habits that no longer feel aligned, or avoiding certain spaces in your home without quite knowing why. Maybe you’ve been resisting parts of your practice that once felt magical, or you’ve been moving through your days with a low-grade fatigue or irritability that doesn’t seem to lift. Sometimes it’s not that your intuition has gone quiet—it’s just buried under energetic debris.

Signs It’s Time for a Magickal Cleanse

Not sure if you’re overdue for an energetic reset? Consider this your invitation if:

Your altar feels disconnected or stale
You keep saying “I want to do a ritual” but never do
Your space feels heavy or cloudy, even after physical cleaning
You’ve been clinging to items, habits, or energies “just in case”
You’re craving clarity, but unsure how to get it

Energy blocks often go unnoticed until we pause long enough to feel them. Spring offers that perfect window of clarity.

Five Ways to Clear Energy Blocks This Spring

You don’t need to burn everything down or smudge every corner daily. Small, consistent shifts can clear enormous space. Here are five practices to try:

1. Clean with Intention

Pause before you sweep, wipe, or sort. Set an intention. Say: “As I clean, I release what no longer serves. I create space for what aligns.” As you physically clean, visualize stagnant energy being lifted, released, and transmuted. Open windows. Let light in. Let breath in.

2. Wardrobe + Tool Audit

Go through your clothing and magical tools. What no longer fits energetically or literally? Donate what you’ve outgrown. Cleanse what you want to keep. Ask: Does this reflect who I am now? Or who I thought I had to be?

3. Re-Enchant Your Altar

Remove everything from your altar and start fresh. Don’t put anything back automatically.

What still feels sacred? What feels obligatory? Use this chance to realign your space with your current energy.

4. Energetic Cord-Cutting

Not all cords are harmful but some get tangled. Write down the names, habits, or thoughts you feel tethered to. Use a black or white candle. Burn the paper (safely) with the words:

“I release all that drains my energy. I call my power home.”

5. Shadow Sweep Journaling

Write out the habits, fears, or beliefs that are “cluttering” your ability to be fully present. Ask: What am I still carrying that no longer belongs to me? No judgment, just awareness.

You don’t have to clear everything at once. You don’t have to be perfect. Spring doesn’t bloom in a day, it unfolds in layers. Let your spring cleaning be a spell. Let it be sacred. And most importantly, let it make space for you. The you that doesn’t have to shrink. The you that doesn’t need to hold it all. The you that feels safe, seen, and supported. Because your authentic self isn’t hiding. She’s just waiting for some room to stretch.
