Smoke Cleansing Purification Ritual

📚 What You'll Need

• Rosemary bundle, garden sage, or cedar (avoid white sage if not Indigenous)
• Fireproof dish or abalone shell
• Feather or hand fan (optional)
• Salt (for doorways)
• Open window in each room

✨ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open at least one window in every room you'll cleanse — the negative energy needs somewhere to go.
2. Light your herb bundle and blow out the flame so it smokes. Hold the fireproof dish beneath to catch ashes.
3. Starting at your front door, move counterclockwise through your home. Waft the smoke into every corner, closet, and under furniture.
4. At each doorway, say: 'Smoke of [herb], cleanse this space. Only love and light may dwell in this place.'
5. Pay extra attention to mirrors, electronics (they hold energy), and any room where arguments or stress occurred.
6. After completing the circuit, return to your front door. Sprinkle a thin line of salt across the threshold.
7. Extinguish the bundle by pressing it into sand or salt in your fireproof dish. It can be reused.
