Question on saging....
I normally sage around my apt. and around my body (saying a little three line positive chant three times)everyday. I once heard that I then need to "seal" the saging with incense. Who can tell me about saging not only for protection and to invite positive energies, but any other reasons and rituals any of you use?
Thanks to anyone for your input.

1. I have only just begun saging
I have only in the past few months begun saging, the psychic and reiki practitioner who recommended it didn't say anything about the incense, though I use some of that independently. I have noticed a definite improvement in the energies around my home. I pay special attention to saging the radios and TV where my husband has his right wing hate shows come through. Seriously, there is a difference in him since I started doing this. He has become completely understanding that I will not listen to that or come into the living room when Fox is on the TV. These positive changes had been taking place already but they seem to have accelerated.
I notice some differences in myself as well, I am becoming less "shrill" (in my own mind). Whatever it is doing, or is happening, it is certainly positive.
I love incense too, it seems to have a positive effect as well. Who knows, maybe it is my positive intentions and prayers as I light the incense of sage? I don't know what is doing good, just that some good seems to have been done.

What the hell is saging?
Sounds like something that happens to women who don't wear bras.

How can you be married to someone who believes in the values that you despise? It's one thing to believe differently than your spouse but how can you live with someone who has views that you have a deep seated hatred for? That would be like me being married to Chavez Or Michael Moore.

DUmmies...you wonder why we laugh at you??? Bijou's find is one of many reasons. :tongue:

some new wave hippy crap, sage supposedly gives off very powerful positive vibes, or some such bs. it's probably about as effective as cherokee hair tampons (just google those, dammit, don't ask me to explain)

Burning sage and waving around the smoke I believe. Seems stinky.

Ah, ok. I thought sage was for seasoning food. But what do I know?
For Cherokee hair tampons, there's a Southpark episode that explains all you need to know. :-)

Yet they all mock God and Christians. :banghead:

I love incense too.
It covers the smell of the cat boxes.

my wife is a democrat, although a sane one. she got burned out working for verizon and is now somewhat anti-corporate. none of that changes the fact that i love her. eventually, she'll grow out of it, cuz she's a happy, friendly person with civility and decency

I'm not saying that people of opposite views can't be married, it's when one spouse has DU type hatred for the other spouses views. How can that be healthy?

I'd try saging but I don't have the thyme . . . (sorry!) :hammer:

There is a great difference between the run-of-the-mill American Democrat voter and the Lunatic Little Goon Squad who post ON PURPOSE at DemocratUnderground.com.

If I walked around the house burning sage and chanting....the other half would be calling the guys in white jackets....

I'd boot "Toots" out to the barn! Thankfully, she's from "West By God Virginia"! She's as much a "redneck" as I am. Maybe more! Lol!
If my cat's crapped in the house, I wouldn't let them in!

I'm guessing it just means he has decided not to argue with the nutbar who owns the vagina, and who also likes to burn stuff.

Amazing the power of that little gem has over the male of the species! I know I'm addicted!

Wait a tic. Saging? No wonder nothing has worked here. I've been parsleying!

Burning sage and incense creates smoke. According to the creator of the internet smoke is one of the things that is causing global warming...oops...climate change. The DUmmie could be considered a planet murderer.

Diesel smoke is my incense....
SUCK ON IT, DUMMIES!

I do not know what saging is and I never burn incense for religious reasons... so I am no DUmmie.

No, I will NOT. Believe me, I won't. I do not want to know what else these idiots have come up with

It was in a South Park episode about "alternative healing"... it's not real (AFAIK)

Don't worry these idiots would probably try it anyways.

Nice to see you, Flippy . . . :cheersmate:
What punishment would a charge of "planet homicide" carry, anyway?
On another note of this thread, the only incense I ever burned was either as an altar boy (very nearly smoked out the bishop at a Confirmation Mass once, long ago), or those "Deer Sense" sticks that smell like a horny doe. No, there was nothing but woods around for the second one. Didn't stick around long enough to see if a buck would come by. 'Course, it did get dark, so I wouldn't have been able to shoot anyway.

That's a good question. If it was me and I had the power, I would do something to the offender's mind so that he (or she/it) was delusional. When I say delusional I mean so delusional that he (or she/it) wouldn't only just not realize how stupid and insignificant he (or she/it) is but so delusional that he (or she/it) would think that he (or she/it) is the most brilliant person in the universe. Then I would take the individual and place him (or her/it) into a group of people exactly like himself (or herself/itself). I would then place said group in a public environment (maybe even on the internet) so that the entire world could laugh at them.
But that's not for me to decide.

They probably both started out sorta kinda believing in the same things when they got married....only he grew up and she never did.

Turn them into DUmmies.
That is cruel and inhumane punishment.
