In one of my recent posts I was talking about some of the de-cluttering work I am doing around the house. One of that post’s commenters, Stephanie Bennett Vogt, shared that she has published a book dealing with that very same topic. I am happy to feature it here as it not only deals with the physical aspects of clutter, but also the emotional and spiritual effects as well. I came across some lines when I was using the “search inside” feature at Amazon.com which I found very much on point
“This book defines spiritual clutter as anything that gets in the way of opening up to our source of innate wisdom and divine guidance.”
“When we live our lives on automatic pilot we lose touch with the things and activities that make our hearts sing, and cringe.”
The book also contains simple actions to take (rituals) to work on releasing and letting go, talks about the use of altar work in this process, and gives a lot of practical advise on both simple steps to start clearing out the clutter in your life. It touches on affirmations and gratitude work and seems to be quite a lovely book about reclaiming one’s life not only from a messy house but from the deeper emotional and spiritual issues that get in the way of accomplishing the goal in the first place.
Lady Rose & I were recently talking about what to buy with an Amazon gift certificate earned through the generous purchases of you, our readers. We considered a tarot deck (to use in all our 2Witches videos, etc), we considered a book on blogging, but after skimming what content I could online I feel compelled to buy this book. Especially as Lady Rose and I are both working on clearing not only physical clutter in our homes, but emotional and spiritual clutter as well.
Besides which if I buy it now, it can be here in time for her next visit.

Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are
As an aside … Mrs.B of Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom is hosting a comment contest on her blog. As part of her own de-cluttering efforts she is going to be raffling off books she is getting rid of. The first raffle is for the book Witch on the Go: A Book of Spells to Take With You by Cal Garrison.

Glad to see that I’m not the only one trying to declutter! If I ever find myself feeling out of sorts, it seems like a good tidying up usually takes the edge off.
