Cleaning with white sage and Palo santo.
What are they? What do we use them for? How do we use them?
Hugs for you who have arrived here today, here I leave you the first post of another of these small series that I like to make (maybe it will be three or four this time), in this case selecting certain herbs that I mention commonly and that maybe You want to know better.
Palo Santo & Sage.
Palo Santo is an aromatic wood from South America (Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela). Palo Santo is considered sacred and medicinal since the Pre-Colombian civilization and used in religious and shamanic cults.
Sage is a common plant from North America. The special oils from these plants are very useful in those rituals to clean and purify people and environments.
Both plants, the safe and the holy stick are known in the wide world of mysticism for its healing and energetic uses. While the Native Americans considered the sage a sacred plant that could literally save the souls of individuals with their good energy. The Mayans and the Aztecs picked up the sticks of holy stick to burn them as sacred offerings to calm the rage of the vindictive spirits.
Six simple recipes for any beginner.
Both plants can commonly be used in various forms, such as dried herbs, as incense (in wands and cones), as an essential oil, and even as aromatic prepared water to perform "clean" and magical works.
- For the realization of "clean", the witches native to South America usually burn a mixture of holy stick and eucalyptus, or holy stick and peppermint. The idea is to move this smoke around people in order to scare away evil spirits, bad thoughts, and spells imposed with bad intentions.
- To clean the energy of a place, white or yellow candles are anointed with sage essential oil or holy stick and lit at noon.
- To purify the energy of a location, the name of the business and the address of the premises are written three times on a white candle, the candle is lit and a mixture of sage and rosemary are burned around it, in order to clean the energy and unlock the money.
- To protect small children and babies against psychic attacks and evil spirits, a felt bag filled with dried sage leaves and crystal quartz is placed under the child's pillow.
- To nullify the effects of a magical work that is buried in a nearby garden or park, a deep hole is dug and a bunch of sage mixed with fresh milk is thrown there.
- To perform a personal cleaning bath and purify your own energy, you can add to the shower water a blend of sage essential oil or holy stick (or both together), a tablespoon of pure honey, and a bunch of petals of White roses.
