ABOUT SMUDGING Smudging is traditionally a ceremony for purifying or cleansing the soul of negative thoughts about a person or place. There are four elements involved in a smudge:
The container, traditionally a shell representing water, is the first element.
The sacred plant(s), gifts from Mother Earth, represent the second element.
The fire produced from lighting the sacred plants represents the third element.
The smoke produced from the fire represents air, the fourth element.
During a smudge plant leaves or stems are placed in the container and ignited (preferably with a wooden match). The flames are then gently blown out and the smoke, which heals the mind, heart, and body, is wafted over the person or around a space, either by hand or with a feather. The ashes traditionally are returned to Mother Earth by disposing them outside on bare soil. It is believed that the negative thoughts and feelings have been absorbed by the ashes.
