How to Use
Begin the ritual by taking a moment to express your gratitude and set your intention. Next, open the windows to let any stagnant energy out into the world. Light the bundle and let the flame catch for 20 seconds, then gently blow it out, allowing the smoke to rise from the embers. Take the bundle and waft the smoke around yourself and the corners of each room, allowing the purifying smoke to cleanse and refresh the energy. Finally, take the bundle and use it to surround any objects that you feel need a good cleanse, allowing the smoke to penetrate them for 30 seconds. Once you're finished, dispose of the bundle carefully in a ceramic dish or shell. It's essential to avoid extinguishing it with water, which can damage the bundle. Remember, each bundle can last up to 20 uses, so you can enjoy the benefits of this purifying ritual for a long time to come.
