Smudge Sticks
According to countless ancient ways of knowing, all plants possess a sacred spirit…
…a spirit that goes well beyond, and vibrates deeper, than its physical constituents.
It is this pure and hallowed nature of plants {and our inter-connectedness} that has led to their traditional/medicinal use in ::
healing {physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual}
cleansing {a space or our bodies}
consecration
guidance
protection
community-building
altering, or shifting, consciousness
religious ceremonies
personal exploration
Contrary to popular thought, the use of plants for these purposes is not a new idea…nor is it new-age. It is rather, a collection of methods humanity has used for millennia in order to maintain connection to the Earth — and to the spirit world as well. Smudging is a time honored tradition and ceremonial practice, that is still being used today.
Any of these chosen sacred herbs, can be tied in a bundle and dried. Their smoke then can be used to purify homes, spaces, and even energy fields of individuals. For more information on smudging please visit our website at www.modernwitchdoctor.com
