You could hire them, like 1-800-WITCH-whatever, and they, like, go to the house and they clear it for you.

Or for realtors, you know, that they can go clear the house for you before you start showing it to remove the energy.

But the mistake people make is they know to burn sage because that removes all energy.

So you just remove the good energy, too.

Not just the bad.

You have to burn sweet grass afterwards because that restores positive energy.

And that's more of an American Indian approach.

um belief and custom but like i said i'm a native arizonan and that feels right to me and all the earth magic practitioners that i know that have been doing it for 50 years always use the braid of sweet grass i'll start implementing that what about palo santo you use that palo santo works and you'll hear some people especially some of the younger people they're like i prefer palo santo i'm like okay well then use that

But for me, I don't find it as effective.

I think the white sage that we use and then the sweet grass is the way to go.

And it's how you waft it in the corners while you're clearing the house and opening the door so that...

You're getting rid of the things you don't want, but you have to set an intention of I want this house to be warm.

I want this house to be safe.

I want this house to be loving and inviting and repeating that over and over again.

As you walk through the house, and people always think that when it goes out, when you're doing the smudging, that that's a bad thing.

And it's like, no, it means it's doing its job, but it also means you found an area that's got a lot of dark or negative energy, and you spend more time in that area when the sage goes out.

Got it.

So that's important too.

You know, I have done salt on the windowsills.

I do have crystals of black obsidian like to ground me because you should carry some.
