I posted this on the Native American Forum, but thought it would be good to ask here as well.
Over 30 years ago my Aunt gave my Mother a stoneware crock pitcher. Over 10 years ago my Mother gave it to me. My Aunt, who is a very unstable person, recently accused my Mother of stealing the pitcher.
To keep the peace, my Mother has decided to return the pitcher. However, it's still at my house and I would prefer it to be spiritually cleaned, blessed, and stuffed full of white light before it's returned. I want this pitcher to be a reservoir of the Creator's positive power before it's returned.
I'm going to smudge it with a sage, cedar, tobacco, and sweet grass combination. I had also thought about taking it to the beach and dunking it in the waves, at least 4 times before smudging.
If you know of any other purification method, other than burning it, please help me out. Thanks for any suggestions.
