Cleansing the space before ritual

[süsü_]

So I was reading Frater Acher's blog/article about olympic spirits and what procedure he did before he could communicate with och or ophiel for example and he was using LBRP first and then LBRH to make sure nothing can fuck up the thing he is about to do
And my question is, before doing any ritual of any kind is there even a need for "cleansing the space" or are vibes, some preparation and a clean calm mind enough?
I would imagine if the setup is right, the room is physically clean and the air is fresh and the ritual itself goes exactly like how its written down then it should be good no?
I'm not sure how important it is to actually ground or to "clean energy residue" or whatever before practicing such things thats why im asking
Of course it depends on the kind of procedure probably but just generally speaking
Thx for the answers

If youre conjuring spirits you need ceremonial procedure in the space. The protection of the self/body can boil down to simple meditation, cleansing, and purification but the space itself needs to be sealed ritual.

When you conjure spirits you can think of it like sending a big bright light into the astral realm that says "hey! Im over here!". All kinds of things will show up and if you dont seal the space then they can mess up the environment or larp as the spirit youre actually trying to get into contact with. On top of this, if you conjure frequently, things can get in so there will be stragglers and hangers on in the space in between operations and they need to be cast out before you conjure.

You will notice a marked difference between a clinical operation and one where you dont do banishing and sealing procedures. There are certain use cases for not cleansing and sealing the space, that is if youre trying to compound spirit energy (create a haunting) but this is a generally unpleasant environment to live in daily and will create a dingy oppressive atmosphere.
