I have to say I agree with John about the word or concept of "evil," more likely it is just a mischevious, but harmless entity like he suggested. With the Lucifer Rebellion over, I'm sure there can't be a truly dark presence harming you or wishing you ill. You can just keep calling in the white light.
As for banishing rituals, I do this whenever I move into a new home, because after all, someone lived there before me. I just do it to cleanse the stagnant energy. Someone once told me that there is not usually a 'ghost' in a haunted house, but instead the old energy resides there to some extent -- the residual energy of the previous tenants. That makes more sense to me, too. So I just use the sage (an ancient Native American ritual, and also a European Pagan ritual) to cleanse that old, dead energy. I don't want it! I want an energetically clean home.

Peace you guys, and thanks for the ideas about the vibrations! I was slightly worried there was a 'presence' there and it's comforting to think it's just an internal opening or process I'm going through. Love to you all!
