Steps for Worshipping the Four Corners of a New House
- Open all the windows to ensure the house is filled with fresh air.
- Write the full address of the new home and the names of all family members—from oldest to youngest—on the house deed joss paper. This symbolizes informing the spirits in the house that the owner and family are about to move in.
- Place the set of joss papers featuring the Guan Yin Clad Joss Paper in the center of the house, and one set of joss papers in each of the four corners.
- Prepare five sets of offerings using paper cups and plates. Each offering should include: one apple, one orange, a plate of shelled peanuts, five candies, a small portion of raw white rice, one cup of water, and a plate of five-colored beans (red, green, black, yellow, and eyebrow beans).
- Light incense sticks and walk around the entire house once—including the kitchen and toilet—while silently making a wish, such as for peace, prosperity, or harmony in the home.
- Place incense sticks and a pair of lit candles next to each set of joss papers, making sure they are safely positioned.
- Once the incense and candles have completely burned out, collect all the joss papers and the deed. Burn them in a safe, legal area outside the house and allow the fire to extinguish naturally before cleaning up the site.
- Clean the house using a new broom, starting from the corners and sweeping all debris toward the center of the house. Then sweep everything out through the front door—this symbolizes removing negativity and welcoming good fortune.
