Smudging
The following is a Smudging Technique that you can try.
But remember – this is POWERFUL MEDICINE and you should be open and understanding of the entire experience.
What: Smudging is a ceremony that uses cleansing smoke to clear away negative energy and to attract positive ones.
Need:
* A “bowl” – examples would be, a shell, a stone that has an indented round surface, a piece of pottery or a stone bowl or mortar
* The dried-leaf herbal mixture. If desired, you can also add in cedar (healing) , sweet grass (brings positive energy) and , juniper (for healing).
* A feather, if possible. If not, you can make a feather-like object from paper or material, or simply use your hand.
* Matches
* Drumming or Native music, if desired.
You can always purchase My Deluxe Smudging Kit, check out my Ancient Ways located in the Store.
The Ceremony
1. Use your hands to roll the dried herbal leaves, crumbling them into your bowl.
2. Placed the rolled and mixed plants into the bowl.
3. Burn the leaves until they begin to smolder, giving off clouds of smoke.
4. Fan the smoke with a feather or with your hand to circulate it into the air. Starting with your heart and working your way up to the head, you will visualize the smoke entering your body and spirit, pulling out the impurities. Continue this procedure all the way down the body, and back up again.
5. All the while, pray for your spiritual deity to assist you on your life path and ask for good, positive energy and spirits to guide you.
6. Offer the smoke to the 7 directions – North, South, East, West, Father Sky, Mother Earth and the Great Spirit. Request their assistance on your journey and ask they will help to lead the negativity that is attached to your life – out of your life.
7. Continue cleansing anything that you may feel needs the purification. Your home, your family and friends, or even something that is causing you great pain such as a person (smudge their photo or a letter), finances (smudge the bills) or even an illness (smudge the medication).
8. Following the smudging, you should pray to your spiritual advisor and relax your body with soft stretching and then relax your mind with meditation or sleep.
Note: Some people like to incorporate their smudging ceremony into fasting plans, visions quests and mediation.
Casting your own magic spells takes skill and patience and isn’t recommended in most cases. I provide these “do it yourself” spells for educational purposes, but it is strongly recommended that you consult an experienced spell caster such as myself and allow me to do the work for you.
This way you know it’s being done by someone experienced and knowledgeable and I’m also always here to answer questions about your casting and provide follow-up at no additional charge.
Try my Home Clearing: This energy clearing will eliminate negative energy from your home. It’s especially useful if you feel negative entities and if there were people with a lot of negative energy living in your house before you.
