barnabas63 (1,196 posts) Going to smudge the house with sage...anyone do this before? Just curious. I've heard people say over and over that this is a good way to cleanse the house. Anyone do this before?
blueamy66 (5,982 posts) 1. I haven't done it but have been in a house where it was done.Stinks to high heaven. I threw up.
barnabas63 (1,196 posts) 2. ..ooh.... I didn't know that.. Maybe I'll think about this first.
a la izquierda (8,491 posts) 3. I do it to every place I move into before I spend one night. It's fine. Get good quality sage and it doesn't smell bad. Open the windows if you want (you might set off the smoke detectors anyway if you don't).
I thought this was going to be a re-post from 2005. Your house is already smudgy, DUmmy. Try cleaning it.
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme can overpower incense and patchouli, in the year of the cat at the scarborough fair.
And these are the same people who look down their noses at Christians and Jews.
I have an in-law that made/still makes a killing "cleansing" these morons. She beats them with some kind of branch with leaves, then rolls an egg over their body "soaking up the evil". She has a few candles and some incense burning while she chants some silly tripe at them. The DUmmies leave thinking they're "purified." She laughs all the way to the bank.
My exact thought. I'm certain that every person on that thread would laugh at the idea of a Christian having their house blessed.
Not so Celtic, Catholics have their homes blesses , Priests come in and do their job of blessing the home and the ones living in in it being protected. Catholics are the building blocks of Christianity. Buddhists also bless a home and so the many other religions on the earth. Don't be so closed minded.
Did you read what I posted at all? It was two short sentences so it shouldn't have been that hard to understand.
magical thyme (6,586 posts) 15. my house and my entire farm. long story ensues...I smudged my farmhouse right when I moved in, but it wasn't until after the excavator's dump truck piston fell through the cab, and he swore he must have disturbed an Indian grave or something, plus a bunch of other freaky stuff happened, that I decided I needed to sage the entire property. So I took my new, very nice, bundle of sage in a bowl, and walked the perimeter of my farm waving the purifying smoke around. As I reached the back of my farm I swore I could hear voices: men laughing that they were gonna "cut her down to size!" And then my bowl of sage erupted into flames! I ran across the pasture gripping my flaming bowl of sage in my fingertips, until I got to my horse's waterbucket, dropped the bowl on the ground and drowned it. My fingertips were pretty sore and my eyebrows singed. I tried saging the back pasture 2 more times, and the new sage repeatedly erupted in flames, which I had to put out. Each subsequent bonfire was a little smaller than the last, and eventually I was able to just smoke the perimeter without all the theatrics. That was 10+ years ago. I haven't tried saging since...
