Whether it’s the seasonal depression coming back around, the witchy-closet you’re hiding in, or simply being overstretched in different aspects of your life, you don’t have to do anything. Simply thinking about the fact that it is Samhain is devotion enough.
i hate being human sometimes like i don’t wanna go to work i’m a faery that should be dancing on a hill in the moonlight somewhere and walking barefoot through the forest i watch over and drinking sweet wine in a field of wildflowers with my court every night
If you’re not native you better not TOUCH white sage or palo santo, let alone burn it. I don’t care who you are or what your witch kit needs. You can cleanse your space of negative energy in plenty of other ways, and yes plenty of other ways that smell just as good.
If you are not native you cannot smudge
If you are not native you cannot smudge.
Even if you call it smudging , it’s not. If you are not native, you’re just burning smoke to cleanse. You are cleansing. You physically cannot smudge. It’s sacred to us
White sage is ENDANGERED.
Smudging is not for witches.
Please don’t burn white sage or palo santo. You can burn bundles of rosemary, burn candles, insense, or even use an aroma diffuser and it will still cleanse your space and make it smell good. Please please please respect our culture and don’t be part of what’s making this white sage so overharvested.
Non indigenous people can rb this! just keep your comments to yourself.
I’m normally a pretty chill person regarding religion. But the people somehow taking a mass shooting against Jewish people and twisting that into “See, we Pagans are so oppressed!” are making me see red. Not just because there are Pagan neonazis who would have potentially done the same thing, but that really cannot be ignored here.
may the bridges I burn light the way
