With wildfires devastating California, and weather unfavorable to growing, sage has become harder to get. This may be the only shape of small smudge available for a while. A **lolipop** shaped smudge bundle of dried California White Sage, tied with string. About four to five inches long, and about 3 inches of it is a bundle of sage leaf. This leaves the last two inches to be a handle. Used for fragrance and magical purposes. Grown wild without pesticides and harvested in California.
White sage from the coastal mountains of California. This is a broad leaf sage which is prized for its strong aromatic properties. White Sage is a very sacred and powerful plant. It has been used since ancient times by shaman, medicine men, and healers. Today it is the most popular herb used for cleansing. In purification rituals the smoke gathers negativity and dispels it while bringing in the positive. It aids in healing physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental imbalances. This works on the body as well as in the home.
How to Perform a Shamanic Protection Ritual By The Conjuired Saint!
1. Buy a white sage smudging stick and find a bowl to hold it over. Abalone shell is the traditional choice, but any bowl will do. You can buy a bowl and use it specifically for sage work if it suits you.
2. Close the doors and windows that lead outside and turn off fans inside the home. We want the air contained at the start of the ritual.
3. Open closets, cabinets, and doors inside the house, so the sage smoke can penetrate hard-to-reach places.
4. Light the stick with a lighter or match. When it ignites, blow it out and allow the embers to smoke, much like incense.
5. Set your intention for each room and say a prayer of cleansing. The Conjured Saint suggests, “I ask my guides, angels, ancestors, and all those who walk with me, to help cleanse this home of any negativity through the white light of Christ-- the Infinite and the Divine. And also to allow white light, love, and abundance to remain.”
6. Walk around each room, corner to corner, waving the sage stick so its smoke drifts into all areas and repeat the cleansing prayer at least once in every room.
7. After you’ve blessed all of the rooms in the home, sage yourself. Cup your hands over the smoke and bring it to your face. Wave it all over your body, visualizing the negativity leaving your body and dissipating.
8. Open up the windows. Watch the smoke float out and imagine how it is removing the bad energy with it as it goes, making room for white energy and abundance.
9. Open the front door and leave the sage in the bowl on the stoop to burn out naturally. The front door is a powerful symbol of the threshold between your sacred space and the outside world. Blessing it with sage is an effective method for protection from forces who wish harm.
10. Now that the space is protected and cleared of negative energy, we must fill the emptiness with positivity. Light a sweet-smelling incense to bring in blessings and repeat the affirmation, “God’s protective light surrounds me at all times and I am safe from all harm.”
