Smudging Blessings
For any purpose, the process remains
Remember that what you say is not as important as what you believe. Try to free your thoughts of any negativity and remember that the Creator has given you the tools to cleanse your space and protect it.
Light your Sage and use this blessing throughout your smudging process as much or as little as you feel is needed.
