Sage Advice, A Practical Guide to Energetic Smoke Cleansing and House Blessing Book by Dawn Leith Dougherty
'Sage Advice, A Practical Guide to Energetic Smoke Cleansing and House Blessing' by Dawn Leith Dougherty, is a fun and practical approach to energetic smoke cleansing for your home and sacred space! Many plants and tree resins have properties that you can use and blend with others to create a beautiful smoke bath, potpourri, or for use in your spiritual observances. Learn how you can incorporate loose herbs and resins into your daily life to create beautiful and healing incense to enhance your energetic hygiene for your body, mind, and home. Sage Advice offers simple, everyday practices which people of all ages, cultures, and spiritual paths can adopt. Learn the reasons for energetic smudging, and have a greater understanding of how this practice can affect your home and personal space, and how to make it an easy, but important part of your journey on this beautiful planet we call home.
Sage Advice is a perfect book for those who wish to use natural herbal incenses in their lives, and are open to learning that these plants and resins can enhance the energy in their space in positive ways, without being overly focused on specific spiritual paths or Indigenous cultures and traditions that they may or may not be a part of. Sage Advice touches upon not only energetic properties of many different herbs and tree resins, but some information about the places, history, and cultures from which they came. This book gives practical advice on using loose herbal incense, basic technique, and gives ideas for their use, with a few beginning recipes with easy to source ingredients, as well as basic rituals that can be adapted for personal preference. Smoke cleansing and house blessing can be a fairly simple, fun, straightforward practice to enhance the energy every day in your home and is easily adaptable by people of all ages, spiritualities, and cultures, with or without complicated ritual.
Smoke cleansing with sacred herbs and resins is a tradition as old as time, utilized by peoples of most spiritual and religious traditions. Many herbs and resins have individual healing properties, known to our ancient ancestors, and used and appreciated in modern times, as well. Smudge with herbs to purify, clear, calm and neutralize chaotic or unwanted energies.
Dawn Leith Dougherty lives in the rolling hills of rural North Carolina, USA in the northern Piedmont region with her husband Ed “Greybeard”, and Spooky, a tiny fuzzy black cat who somehow lost her tail. Together with her husband Ed, a woodworker and gifted flute maker, they are owners of Tree Of Life Designs, a true backyard enterprise and labor of love. They sell their wares on the internet, as well as occasional music and craft festivals hither and yon, and generally making happy mischief! Dawn is a Reiki Master-Teacher in the Usui System Of Natural Healing, an Ordained Priest in The Order Of Melchizidek, an Animist and Pagan, an early modern traditional Witch, a writer, a vocalist, musician, and performer in rock bands. Her love of plants, herbs, and pursuit of a magical life led her to seek energetic cleansing herbs and resins and study as much as possible about this compelling subject. Her and Ed love good incense, and as a result have developed their own brand of Tree Of Life Incense loose herbal blends.
"Dawn Leith Dougherty carries extensive knowledge surrounding incense herbs and the intentions for what they are used for within the practice of smudging. Her book is practical, easy to read, and makes a wonderful addition to any bookshelf. I use each and every blend that she makes during my spiritual practices and healing work, and can attest not only to the effectiveness but also to the delicious lingering aroma that the blends leave behind. I highly endorse Sage Advice!" - Lynn Green, healer, medium & co-host of Ohm-g Podcast
