How well does burning Sage do in clearing and ridding negativity?
Sage is very effective in clearing negativity from an area. Use dried sage in a heatproof container (a shell held with a potholder is a nice natural burner) and rub the smoke all over you as if you were taking a bath in it. Brush the smoke away from you to carry away any negativity.



When you're done with that, brush the sage smoke towards all corners of the room with a feather or your hands. That will clean your living space.



Then, to complete the cleansing and bring positivity into the area, light a twist of dried sweetgrass and smudge the entire area with its smoke. Sage removes negativity, and sweetgrass invites positive energy into your home.
Reply:after a long stressful week of work, i find that burning some white sage relaxes me...i just love the smell! i first encountered it at a powwow...in the evening, when the crowds had left and there were a few dozen people camping out next to the powwow grounds, i burned some in our campfire while playing my 12-string and just 'visiting' with the other people there...one of the most enjoyable evenings i'd had in a long time
Reply:That is a waste. Put some on fish, it tastes great.
Reply:If the negative person is in a closed room with you, it will increase the negativity and then drive it out, along with you and the other person.
Reply:If someone is actively working, via spells or prayer or whatever, against you then sage won't do much. Sage is good for sedentary negativity. Meaning, oh say, someone really mean lived in your house prior to you for 20 years and the house just "feels icky."



If someone is working against you, you'll need stronger stuff than that. Blessed salt and/or oil is good. Anoint doors and windows to keep stuff out.



If someone is seriously working against you, I'd advise a St. Benedict medal. It's a microexorcism. Even if you're not Christian, the blessing is valid. See the link below for description and explanation.
Reply:I do not know but I do know that my Choctaw and Cherokee ancestors used it widely for cleansing rituals. I find it quite comforting for aromatherapy such as candles and bubble baths. Lemongrass or Lavender with it relaxes too.
Reply:Its wonderful for physical environment

But sage and other things are good for respiratory problems which can cause stress. I use some and incenses, etc.

Reply:Sage works really well. I've used it quite often.
Reply:If it could work about negativity then I'll bet there wouldn't be any Yahoo Q%26amp;A R%26amp;S section and a whole lot of smoke!!!



p.S. If you still have Frank, please let him go because he is due at work in a couple of hours!!!!
Reply:It works extreemly well. Frankinsence is also good, but sage is one of the best!
Reply:It doesn't work for the internet... sorry.



In order to do that, pull up a picture of sage on google image search, and then set your computer on fire. That should work.
Reply:Everyone's answered for me :D





If you are an arty, crafty person, i suggest you try making your own smudge sticks. It's alot cheaper than going out and buying them ready made :)
Reply:It sure works for clearing your land of sage!
Reply:I never do any of that. I can't stand incense and I can't stand burning crap outside of my glade clean linen candle.





I'm a horrible pagan. I admit it.
Reply:I know if I add it to roast potatoes, it takes away my negativity.
