This goes over SO damn well every time I include it in ritual. All the better if the participants have rattles/other hand percussion to accompany the communal Fuck Right Off response. I never stop being grateful for it.
Okay, I've seen this a bunch of times, it's great, but something has always been on my mind and I finally have the courage to ask: what does the "B.R." stand for?
Oh Iβm sharing practical knowledge of the magical properties of the plant here, not just personal practice. Cedar works to make a space spirits canβt remain in, when burned, regardless of the user. Lasts for a few hours.
I'm aware, and i also know that cedar is held sacred by a few groups who maybe don't want people using it willy nilly, and would maybe rather people use plants or substances more connected to their own cultural traditions, so, again, said what i said, have a good one.
Hey Dr.W, I think I've said before that I find this useful. The past couple of days it's been a (not literal) lifesaver. Not going into details, but rough shit, and this has allowed me to enjoy something immensely meaningful that happened at the same time rather than having it ruined.
This feels like it has a place in the Jewish high holidays liturgy, probably after tashlich (a ceremony between the new year and the day of atonement where you apologize for ways you hurt people during the year - to them, then put out your course corrections)
I have saved it and see where it fits. I think it is a nice counter balance. We do the taking responsibility, but a little warding is pretty important. I will report back in October (it is a late year this year).
I find it a sactifying balm to my soul,which reinforces how incredibly lucky I am to know you, when I see you "quoted" randomly across the interwebs. Especially your craft workings.

Preferably in mildly floral calligraphy)

I already pretty kinda do this when I do my general waving the smoke around cleansing. Might as well.
Thank you.

I'm going to try this banishing. I like the energy better.
