does anyone else smudge...

[perks]

perkie, if we were hippies we'd be dressin' in jeans and t-shirts..we'd have long hair..we'd have bongs on the coffee table......hmmmmnn...ok, you win....

of course, sugah,

I always win.

Hmm, I think I am to much of a type A personality to be a hippie. I wish I could be more layed back and relaxed but then nothing and I do mean absolutely nothing would ever get done in my house.

 

[Chantal Marchon]

However- I really like my hippie dancer and she goes with me all over Lit.

AusTess - you can't be a real Aussie!! REAL Ausies don't drink Fosters!!

I don't do any smudging. (still live with parents). However, I do a different kind of cleansing ritual in my bedroom to keep it relatively clear of nasties. I really need to do the whole house, but living with Catholics is a bit of a problem. *sigh* One day I shall have my own place...

 

[unclej]

yeah, i guess living at home does have it's limitations....don't the catholics do something with a swinging silver thingy that looks like an over sized tea brewer and it has something in it that smokes....get one, buy some sage and tell the folks that you're thinking about the priesthood...

sage bikers that make me weak

LOL.. that would be insanely amusing. Though I would be going to the nunnery.... Which I think would give them a massive heart attack if I said I was to do that.... *laughs devilishly*

I used to burn Nag Champa daily, but insense gives me atrocious migranes.

Instead I use heated oils. I grow sage and have smudged, but not for any sort of effect as I don't believe that the smoke of a burning plant can't do anything but relax a persons mind, thus effecting their surroundings but not through some sort of magical effect.

Anyhow, I've read that insense is more of an home air pollutant than cigarettes. Has anyone else heard this?

I would imagine it would be not good, because burning anything in your home is toxic, but is it really worse than cigarettes?

 

[unclej]

starfish, i don't know about the toxic effects of sage or sweet grass but since the whole process only take 3 or 4 minutes and i only do it maybe once or twice a month i'm really not concerned about it...

as to it's magical properties i can't say...it makes me feel good and the ritual of doing it makes me feel better about my home and my shop and myself...

 

[Mellon Collie]

I will not even smoke a Marlboro in my house, more less burning dried weeds in your home. That is very different. Why not use Lysol?

For some reason this is really funny to me.



...Still laughing...
