House warming (house dedication) ceremonies
The custom of
conducting a ceremony when you move into a new home is an
ancient one, deriving from times when it was thought necessary to drive
out any 'evil spirits' and to protect people living in or visiting the
house. Whether you own or rent your house or apartment a
housewarming can really make your living space your own.
Some questions to consider when planning a housewarming ceremony:
- What qualities do you
want to foster in your home?
- What will make it
really feel like home?
- Do you wish to rid
the house of influences of previous occupants, or
- Do you want to
express gratitude for the way previous occupants cared for it
- What blessings do you
wish to ask for your home and everyone who lives in it or visits?
Including a house
dedication ceremony
in your
house warming party is a fun way of conveying to your family and
friends your wishes for all who visit the house and your commitment to
making them feel welcome and at home.
Various symbols are
used in a
house warming ceremony, including:
- Bread, that there may never be hunger
- A broom, to sweep out bad luck and sweep
in good luck
- A candle, to signify light and learning
- Something sweet to represent the
sweetness of life
- Salt, so that life will always have
flavour
- Wine, so that joy and prosperity will
reign forever.
Launchings
A ceremony for the
launching of a new
venture will incorporate many of the elements of a house warming, but
will also focus on your goals for the enterprise being launched.
