Recently I was contacted through a friend, and asked to do an interview. This being the Samhain / Halloween season it is somewhat common. The resulting story ran on Bank Rate dot com. This morning I got an automatic update email informing me that it had also been picked up by Fox Business as well. I though I'd share it with you lovely folks.
PS There is still time to enter the Zombie Movie Premier tickets or the Zombie Tarot Giveaways!
Bless This Home: Cleansing it of Spirits

Don't be surprised to find some unexpected visitors in your home toward the end of October. And, no, we don't meet trick-or-treaters.
Instead, you could be tormented by stubborn spirits.
"Ghosts are associated with Halloween because the divider between the living and the dead is a little bit thinner this time of year," says Amy Blackthorn, a witch in Newark, Del., who can be hired to cast out spirits.
Or you can take a proactive approach, and have your house blessed or cleansed of negative energy before you move in.
Practitioners in a range of spiritual traditions can be found to give your home a vigorous mystical cleansing. One such consultant is Blackthorn, who says she can rid a home of spirits, use her skills to help a house sell more quickly or "freshen things up a bit, energetically speaking."
She gets calls these days from people having a tough time selling their homes. By calling her in, sellers "want to give (the house) that warm, homey energy that says, 'You want to live here.'"
Or if someone has bought a foreclosure, "they don't want to move into someone else's old headache," Blackthorn says.
And a house filled with spirits can cause headaches, too.
Wash that ghost right outta your lair
Spirits stick around for various reasons such as the following, experts say.
Someone who suffers a sudden death, such as a heart attack or drug overdose, might not realize he or she is dead.
The deceased might fear Judgment Day and being sent to hell.
The spirit might be keeping watch on a family member.
The apparition might be drawn to a former residence or haunt.
