How to Smudge Your Home

A smudging ceremony is a Native American ritual that has a spiritual and practical use. It's done by spreading herbal smoke throughout an area to cleanse it of negative energy. It also gets rid of old stale odors. When we move into a new home we always smudge it. Whether its psychological or not it always feels so much better afterwards and gives the house a nice earthy smell! CHECK OUR SITE FOR ALL THE DETAILS AND PHOTOS
