hi;
i know that smudging with a sage thing is good for spiritual cleansing.
i know you should carry a bowl or something with you while smudging.
i am a fire sign and also fire makes me nervous.
for a lot of reasons i will not elaborate.
the herb company i use carries white sage, and when the crumbles and powder is left from the whole pieces they sell the latter at a sale cost.
i bought some, and dust it around and also use as incense in a burner.
i feel safer that way.
does anyone have thoughts on its effectiveness especially with regard to dusting and powder spreading of white sage?
