A Native Smoke Ritual For Renewal And Clarity
February 17th, 2018

Have you ever noticed that when you walk into any place of worship or sacred ceremony, there is always one repeating theme? Yes, the symbols and prayers spoken may be different, but one thing is universally present – the use of smoke.
Beyond its pleasing aromatic qualities, smoke is viewed in many traditions to be a bridge between the world we can see and the one we cannot. Not surprisingly, smoke plays a crucial role in shamanism, and often serves as a healing medicine itself in native ceremonies.
As we take on this new year, the burning of sacred herbs and resins can be a very powerful tool. A way of starting anew.
Below, I’ve shared some holy smokes you can easily create and a native prayer to accompany them. We’re excited to hear how you feel once you try them!
Some examples of sacred plants and resins to use for smudging and clearing:
• White sage: use for clearing, blessing, cleansing, and healing.
• Sweetgrass: use for blessing, bringing in more creative energy, and for calling in joy.
• Myrrh: use this tree resin for enlightenment, and for clearing away the past or anything preventing you from standing in your truth.
