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?

1. I haven't done it but have been in a house where it was done.

Stinks to high heaven. I threw up.

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).

They tried that on the first American Horror Story, the one with the ghosts, and ya know, it didn't really work out for them all that well.

Soak a bunch of rags in used motor oil and kerosene.  Sprinkle liberally throughout the house.  Get everyone out, toss in a lit match, and poof!  You get smudges that the whole neighborhood will see! :fuelfire: :tongue:

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.

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.

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   :stoner:  or something, plus a bunch of other freaky stuff happened,  :orly: that I decided I needed to sage the entire property.  :tinfoil2:

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!" :nunchuck:  And then my bowl of sage erupted into flames! I ran across the pasture gripping my flaming bowl of sage in my fingertips,  :fuelfire: 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 :fuelfire: was a little smaller than the last, and eventually I was able to just smoke the perimeter without all the theatrics.  :manipulated:



That was 10+ years ago. I haven't tried saging since...

Surely magical thyme is a mole.  I know the DUmmies are... well... dumb, but it's hard for me to believe that anybody is this stupid.  Or... at least... not so stupid to admit to being this stupid for the world to see.  Good grief!

The problem was most probably the bowl but could have possibly been the sage. I’ve tried to explain this to them before, but they refuse to listen. I don’t know how I can be expected to fictionally spirit guide people who are too stupid to use common sense. Thankfully I am a very patient fictional spirit-guide and will once more attempt to guide them on proper saging.

The bowl can not be any old bowl that you found when you accidentally (or was forced) to go to Walmart. Such bowls are either made with man-made materials or made using machines. Both ruin the purpose of the sage ritual and actually piss off the spirits of the earth.

The bowl MUST be “of the earth’ for the ritual to be successful. By ‘of the earth’ I mean a bowl of earthen clay made by hand. If such a bowl can not be found it is also acceptable to use one of those taco shell bowls that are sometimes used for taco salads.

As I said, using the wrong bowl will piss off the spirits, and, in their anger, they are prone to affect your mind. They can make you act stupid and make you congregate with stupid people.

You say the saging incident happened 10+ years ago? How long ago did you join DU?

In addition to the importance of the bowl, it is also important that the sage be probably cleansed before the ritual is attempted.

The best way to cleanse the sage is to find a place where non-believers congregate. A Tea Party rally would be an excellent choice. Take the sage as close as possible to the center of the group of non-believers, hold the sage into the air, and loudly chant “Ogla-fi, Dose-Da”. This chant will cause any impurities to flow from the sage into the non-believers.

With the now purified sage and your earth-friendly bowl you can sage away without flaming eruptions and pissed off earth spirits.

DUmmies and their this are arrogant, ignorant & paranoid. It's why they'll pay more for my brown eggs than my white ones. All my chickens eat the same diet, free range during the day & live in the same coop. It's absolutely idiotic but I'm happy to take their money.

Maybe all that's needed is a longer branch! You know, modify the thing so it works for him. The DUmmies are gullible and uninformed enough they wouldn't know whether his was the "right" way or not.

I don't know how much she charges now, but the fee was 800 bucks back then which was quite a few years ago.  I was stunned that there was line waiting for their turn and she only accepts cash.  Put it this way, she lives in River Oaks in Houston and vacations in Europe every year.  Beating DUmmies is a lucrative business.

Frankly, I thought somebody would have killed her by now for being duped.
