Do you Smudge your home?
Did you know the ancient act of Saining is what our ancestral lines performed on these shores we live on?
All 4 countries - England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales used saining, as a Purification practice that is intended to offer protection onto an object, place or person - to ward away evil influences or intent. To help safeguard the health, wellbeing and prosperity of an individual or household and the things that are important to them...
Smudging is a term started in 1900's in America and White Sage actually originates there - is it time to leave them behind and follow the calling of your native roots??
As I go further on my path....this is calling out more to me and we have so many wonderful smelling plants and trees - that bring the same protective energies and much more
A wonderful way to connect more with our native shores is to forage, collect twigs, leaves and herbs off the forest ground and hedgerows...and use them to make your own herbal cleansing sticks.
Please never break branches or twigs from trees and show respect if gathering herbs and flowers (I tend to go for broken stems first) please ask permission from the source and always give thanks, for anything you receive..
Here are some of the wonderful trees and plants the are native to this land, they all bring protective energies and more...
JUNIPER - attracts positive energies and wards against negative energies, guards against negative energy lingering and helps protect against illness
ROWEN - psychic cleansing, removes unwanted spirits, grounds energies, guards and against darker energies
LAVENDER - calms energies, guards against spiritual attacks, clears negative energies, aids in releasing trapped energy and helps rid illness

But as always show respect to the land we walk on and do no harm!
