Decolonizing your Practice: Smoke Cleansing
So, the cleansing most people seem familiar with is using White sage, sometimes it comes in a kit with and Abalone shell and a feather. However these shouldn't be bought as this IS A CLOSED AND SACRED PRACTICE FOR NATIVE AMERICANS KNOWN AS SMUDGING. And if you're a non-native you should not be using White sage as it's one of their sacred Medicines.
And because I know some of y'all are too lazy to look up alternatives I'm here to help.
So Smudging is a type of Smoke cleansing—burning botanicals, resins, wood, etc. for health and/or spiritual purposes. This type of cleansing is used by many different people and faiths throughout the world so you can find a type of Smoke Cleansing that doesn't make you appropriate sacred medicine from indigenous people.
There are no excuses.
Common Ways to Smoke Cleanse
- Incense Sticks
- Incense Cones
- Resin Incense (straight up bits of sap from trees)
- Powdered Incense
- Herb Bundles / Burning Bouquets.
Herbs you can use other than White Sage
- Green Sage/Kitchen Sage: Cleansing and Good Luck
- Russian sage: cleanses and can be used for protection
- Cedar: For Cleansing negative energy and protection. (Note: Cedar is still one of the four sacred medicines of Native Americans. So while it's not closed in the same way white sage is if your in America try and either buy from Native Shops or find a store near you that works with Native People and pay them fairly)
- Rosemary: rosemary is perfect for burning as a purification herb. it's burned to create a "fresh start" in life
- lavender: uplift the mood, dispel negative emotion and bring in a sense of calm and relaxation
- White Pine: cleanses emotions and can be used for protection
( i do know there are other herbs used for smoke cleansing I just wanted to list a few that had the same affect as White Sage does)
I use rosemary typically.

Snope (snake pope)
Sage Sohier chronicled the love of gay couples in the 1980s in her collection At Home With Themselves. Spurred by the AIDS crisis and the media representations of promiscuity and disease in the community, the project aimed to dispel stereotypes about gay love and showcase lesbian and gay couples of all ages, backgrounds and proclivities, capturing a visual that often went unseen.
“I was interested in how, as a culture, we weren’t used to looking at two men touching, and was struck by the visual novelty yet total ordinariness of these same-sex relationships. The visual ambiguity of same-sex relationships also intrigued me: were these sisters or friends or lovers or a mother and daughter?“
The photographic endeavor was also prompted by Sohier’s father. The book is dedicated to him and his partner Lee.

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit
