I think you have us confused with Native Americans. We use incense. Native Americans use sage in purification ceremonies.
Sage burning is found in Pagan religions, most commonly Wicca in order to cleanse a house of negativity.
The smoke of blessed sage is supposed to drive evil spirits from the home. The blessing can be from any shaman or ceremonial event. Save a little twig in case the neighbors complain. Burning sage smells a lot like marijuana to some people.
Yes. A combination of sage / cedar would be in order. Sage: Cleansing, balancing, banishing the negative and strengthening. Cedar: Calming, comfort, purity and protection
You can find the sage is right outside the place where you find a level 70 Volcarona. It will take a while though.
no matter what kind of smoke it is, smoke is smoke. cigarettes are alot worse for you because you are not just smoking tobacco, but binding glue, tar, paper, and few other choice ingredients. burning sage in pretty unharmfull, but too much of any thing is bad for you...
While it does depend on the recipe, often times fresh sage can be used in place of rubbed sage. Less fresh sage will be required for a recipe that calls for rubbed or powdered sage.
You can control ghosts(the supernatural) by asking a priest or "ghost hunters" for help. If you cannot find help, then burn sage and bless every room in your house in all four corners. Also say a prayer to God while performing this. If you're dealing with something demonic, then you will need urgent help.
If rubbed sage is dried and dried sage is crushed - than yes
Light Sage: Rauru the Hylian Priest Forest Sage: Saria the Kokiri Girl Fire Sage: Darunia the Goron Elder Water Sage: Ruto the Zora Princess Shadow Sage: Impa the last Sheikah Spirit Sage: Nabooru the Gerudo Princess but, you dont really need to know WHO they are in order to proceed, they reveal themselves after you've beaten their temple.
It is Sage from a Lemon
your local grocery or florist store.... buy your sage fresh, you can generally find all types for cooking in the grocery store and other types at your florist... using floral wire you can make your own smudge stick I usually do so on a full moon, outside, at night, simply because I feel the sage can use any extra power it can get since its a primary tool in keeping away the negative. I generally have the last of my sage burning as I make my new stick, to offer a ending and a beginning. I say a blessing and a prayer to Hecate (as I'm female) as I create the stick one leaf at a time, layering until I have the length and width I want. Then I wrap it up with smudged floral wire. I pass the entire thing through the smoke of the burning sage 3 times then clip it to my outside altar to sun dry. It takes a few days of drying then it's good to go, however, I live in the desert so you might want to dry it inside in florida. b Dont make it too thick, depending on humidity you run the risk of the insides rotting instead of drying.
