I have a tendency to have a bowl of sage smoldering every once in a while, and though this happens with sacred fires as well, it doesn't matter where I am seated or where I put the smudge bowl, the smoke always ends up in my face.

Even just now I moved said bowl from one end of the table to the other side of me, and yet again it is in my face.

What do you guys make of this?

I say the same thing here. You are well protected. My Native American and my pagan beliefs compliment each other well. A smudgestick of sweet grass works well, too.

Cigarette smoke always does the same thing with me.

I have always been taught smoke was a cleanser, but THEY say secondhand cigarette smoke is deadly. I have lost 2 close family members recently to lung cancer. Natural tobacco is used in many ceremony, however processed cigarettes are changed, I believe.

I used white sage as a smudge and do my home about once a month, at least just to clear the bad vibes.

cigarette tobacco is processed with a multitude of chemicals and with just as many additives. Irregardless of whether it comes from a carton or a tin.

If I were to ever smoke it, the only kind I'd touch would be home grown.

where and how can you grow your own tabacco? I am a smoker and would love to smoke the real stuff!!! and I think if I had to grow it and roll it I would quit sooner rather then never!!!

thanks for the help

um... okay, Im not sure how Tabacco has to do with Sage... but mm-kay!

I have always believed that smoke is cleansing to the aura. I also believe that it natually goes to where is is most needed. If you always feel the need to have the smugdie smoldering near you, maybe there is something that you are not looking at in your life.

Tobacco makes smoke, sage makes smoke. I don't know if sage smoke follows me, but tobacco smoke does... I don't know if that means anything or what it might mean...

Sorry I just read from
