Cleansing Our House of Spirits | Shinto Ceremony

Oharae, or harae/harai is a Shinto cleansing/purification ritual. We decided to have an Oharae done to cleanse the house of any angry or bad spirits (or ghosts), particularly with the all the noise and mess we were making in the house with the renovations.
