Smudging?

[maddcat01]

What are the JoS thoughts on the indigenous practices of smudging (using smoke to clear the room of negative energies and harmful beings)?

The smoke is merely a prop upon which to focus the mind.

The smoke amplifies intention. Shamans use this method in their witchcraft.

it should make ur place smell better though
 if you want to clean a home, you do it the same way you would clean a soul.
you just do a banishing ritual aswell 

its easy to visualize energy filling up a room, if the room is filled up with smoke from incense for example, it just visually helps

Just saying! But I've noticed that using nag champa will calm down a negative entity for about hour and half while a white sage smudging stick can calm them down for about 3-4 hours… this is of course without invoking fire or
"TH-TH-AY-AY-YY-YY-AH-AH-U-U-U-S-S-S" into them which I will test soon… how ever to do this you should wait until the moon is waxing in a fire sign such as Sagittarius or Leo 108 times is desirable but any multiple of 9 works just as well!
