Adventures in Smudging

Periodically, I fire up the smudging stick and send a little burnt sage and burnt cedar into the universe that is my house. To clear the energy and attract positive energy into the place, and that's a happy thing. Yesterday the sage burnt a little long, ok a lot long, if it burns long enough to trip the smoke alarm it's too long. So my house and I still smell as if we've had a rough week at the hashish parlor.
