Does anyone know the proper way to put up a mezzuzah?

ETA: Nevermind, found something.

Affix a mezzuzah (http://www.tisrael.org/connections/traditions.php?tid=32) to the door. C's mom sent one in a little care package and neither of us actually know the protocol.

But I found a handy link wot explains it all.

What happened to the good old days of just smearing the goat's blood?

I suggested that, but C says that's only for special occasions. ;)

Does it have the little paper inside?

Yes, C read it and placed it inside the container. She couldn't remember what you're supposed to do when you hang it in the door, though. Her mom just said "look online honey, you'll find it." lol.

As far as I'm concerned, all you need to move in the house is a good cleaning, a Shinto blessing, and an assload of salt for the priest to toss around for good measure. That's the way my grandmammy and grandpappy did it, and it's good enough for me. (Well, that's what they did on my mother's side. Dad was from redneck stock. So far as they knew, they kilt a chikkin' and porked their cousins to make a place feel like home.)

Well perhaps we'll do that too. Maybe burn some incense, chant something in Sanskrit as well?

You'll do the thing with the Shinto priest or the think with a chicken and your cousin?

Well, seeing as my cousins are all back East I reckon we're stuck with the Shinto priest. Rats.
