Adding These Herbs Will Give Your Smudging Ritual A Boost!

When adding these herbs to your smudging ritual, you are adding another element to the environment that you are cleansing and clearing. Smudging, also known as saging, is a ritual that many different cultures have used to clear negative or stagnant energy. The most common herb that is used to clear is dried sage. While using sage by itself does get the job done, many people prefer to add another herb for their own specific purpose.

The Herbs

• Cedar is often used to cleanse a new home or apartment. It has the energy of protection and bringing in the energy influence of wise and old spiritual energy.
• Lavender is used to bring in a very loving and nurturing energy to your space. It has a welcoming aroma. It is also said to keep away negative influences.
• Sweetgrass has a sweet vanilla aroma that connects us to Mother Earth, who has much to share with us. The sweetgrass brings in the blessings and sweetness of life.
• Copal has a crisp citrus aroma. It is burned as an offering to the “Gods” giving gratitude for our blessings.
• Frankincense was once considered more valuable than gold! It helps raise your vibration as well as the space your are in, opens up gifts of clairvoyance, and shields you from lower vibrational influences.
• Myrrh helps keep your vibration high and helps one to attain enlightenment and wisdom. Its smoke is used to consecrate, bless, and purify its environment.

These herbs can be added in a bowl with your sage as a loose blend or you can purchase a sage wand that already has these blends mixed in it. These herbs can be found at almost any metaphysical/new age store.

Blessings and Light,
