Smuging
Seeing as I wrote an article on smudging this week, I thought I would write a quick blog on it and extend what I have written.
Since running the store, the sale of smuge sticks has just gone up and up! What was a new-age/pagan/witchcraft ritual has crossed over to a more “commercial” market! Smudge sticks are most the biggest sellers and normally people order them because they have just moved into a new house and they want to cleanse any past energies from it.
Smudging is such an effective way to do this – sage probably being the best herb to use as it has great cleansing properties. It cleanses all negative energies in an area or around an aura and it smells amazing too!
I usually smudge my living areas once or twice a year. I particularly smudge my office quite a lot as this is where most negativity rises for me. When I feel particularly stressed or uptight for no real reason I will smudge. I usually chant whilst I am smudging and say something like:
“Let these herbs blow over free,
Cleanse all negativity,
Restore all that is pure and true
So I can start today anew”
If you are going to smudge, I recommend you hold a ceramic pot under the burning herbs so that you can catch any embers. I also recommend you do not smudge children or smudge if you are pregnant.
