Sage: White Ceremonial Sage for Cleansings

Sage is Wonderful to Use:


Many Light Workers and people involved in spiritual practices use white sage as a form of clearing or cleansing a space from which to work from.  I use white sage myself almost everyday!  For those of you not familiar with white sage, it is a dried herb that is either used in loose leaf form or bundled with string. To clear negative energies, the dried sage is lit, burned, and then blown out, to create a steady stream of smoke.  The smoke produced is said to clean out negativity and drive away the bad spirits.  The smoke is waved through the air in circular waves with a bowl or shell to catch any burning embers that may fall.  It has been passed along from Native American traditions and is used today quite frequently.
