Today’s card White Sage falls to the table and speaks Loudly and clearly! We all need to be cognizant of where human kind have been heading, to a place of darkness and negativity. Hate, War, ego, a place we should be wary of as it will shape our children’s worlds.
White Sage is used to clear negatives and dark things away from our lives, Smudging and offering hope and clarity on how we should be walking. Whether people believe or not our choices we make will impact the world around us… so how do you chose to move forward? White Sage also reminds us to honor the sacred that is within our souls, to use it to send light into the dark areas of our lives and expel what dwells there in order to reconnect to compassion, respect of others and understanding.
No matter what side of things we are on, we also need to understand that everyone is complicit, no one has not at one time or another participated or done things we are not proud of. But we need to learn from our mistakes… Humankind has not learned over the centuries, not sure it ever will. But on a smaller level we can create change. We have to we, need to in order to live productive lives. White Sage also encourages us to understand the dark as much as the light… they can not exist without the other. So take a good look within and make changes as they are needed.
It is simply time to change the path of the negatives that surround us in the world today by shielding ourselves with positives! Sometimes we need to look deep within ourselves to see the destructive cycles that we have placed ourselves in most of the time without even realizing it, and then set about releasing them. Thus changing our very thought patterns. Learn to look in the mirror and see the reflection understanding that we are in deed human and have flaws. But that those flaws do not mean we are unlovable, incapable, unwanted, rather they mean we have opportunity to grow, to expand to better ourselves, and heal.
So today begin by giving yourself the love you deserve… Self Love. All the time understanding and knowing that the Creator and the Ancestors that walked before us support and assist us if we are open to it. We simply have to believe and have faith. Life does not work by pushing the “Easy” button… it is all about the journey and the process we go through to make us whole, balanced and walking in positives.
Honor your family, your friends, all people and creatures that have walked with you and that have yet to enter your path. Honor your Guides, the Spirit that assist you each day. Honor the Elementals, the Directions, the Great Mother Earth and Father Sky. Honor Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun….This is what the Sacred Sage reminds us of, this is the tone it sets for us to follow. Remember it is not owned by anyone, it is one of the Great Mother Earth’s many gifts to us and it is up to all of us to keep all that is Sacred safe and thriving.
One of the most Sacred of herbs among many cultures and people, White Sage assists in clearing our energy fields, driving out the negative and strengthening the positives. Sage is held Sacred because of it’s effective purifying energies. It heals by bringing us back to balance cleansing the body and mind of negative spirits and impurities. Leaves are at times burned to drive away bad spirits, evil influences, bad dreams, bad thoughts, and illness.
Add some White Sage to your healing and prayer rituals and put yourself on a path to balance and honoring the Sacred Within!
