7 Spiritual Benefits of Sweet Grass
The main use of sweetgrass is smudging as it is belied to cleanse and purify a space, as well as invite in positive energies. However, it also has numerous other benefits including protection, as well as a number of medicinal uses. Below are 7 ways you can use the powerful properties of sweetgrass in your own life:
1. Keep sweetgrass under pillow/mattress for sweet dreams
In Native American tribes, sweetgrass is believed to be distasteful to evil spirits and is even thought to lessen their powers. So, it is a great herb to place under your pillow at night to protect against nightmares that can be caused by restless spirits.
Its revered calming properties can also help you to de-stress as it can aid the removal of the stress hormone cortisol. This will help you fall into a deep, restful sleep, especially if you are prone to tossing and turning at night.
2. Smudge/Burn sweetgrass for positive energy & cleansing
Smudging has been the most popular use of this herb throughout history. Usually, the grass is braided (to represent Mother Earth) and then left to dry as this intensifies its sweet scent. Sweetgrass is believed to be incredibly efficient at removing negative energies so is the perfect smudging tool if you have just moved into a new house or just after an argument.
In addition, sweetgrass is an excellent aid for meditation as it instills a sense of calm and will cleanse your aura of any stagnant energies or negativity. Meditating whilst burning sweetgrass is also believed to bring forth your dreams from past lives.
3. Use sweetgrass essential oil for relaxation
Sweetgrass oil is commonly used as a massage oil because its calming scent is believed to help with concentration, relaxation, serenity, and mindfulness. When used on the skin it can help with rejuvenating cells and increasing blood circulation, which leaves your skin feeling nourished. The unique scent of sweetgrass is caused by the presence of coumarin which has blood-thinning, anti-fungicidal, and pain relief qualities however, it should not be used continuously as it can be toxic if used in large amounts.
4. Drink sweetgrass tea for cleansing your aura
Herbal tea made from the leaves of sweetgrass was commonly used by Native Americans to treat sore throats, fevers, and venereal diseases. When drunk, it is also thought to be able to cleanse the aura and invite in a sense of serenity.
Although, it must be noted that Sweetgrass contains a substance called coumarin which can cause liver damage if taken in large doses. For this reason, it is recommended that you speak to a trained herbalist before ingesting this herb. Luckily, there are no known dangers associated with inhaling sweetgrass through smudging.
5. Carry sweetgrass as a protective totem
As sweetgrass is believed to repel negative spirits, it can be carried around with you or worn as an amulet to protect youself against negative energies. Many Native cultures believe that sweetgrass symbolizes peace, healing, and spirituality, so carrying a sweetgrass braid will also help to stabilize your emotions, protect your aura, and uplift your spirits. Historically, Ojibwa men wore sweetgrass as a cologne and commonly wore two sweetgrass braids around their necks for protection.
6. Keep sweetgrass braid at home or car for protection
When hung in your home or your car, sweetgrass can prevent negative energies from entering the space. This makes it the perfect herb to use when you are planning on taking a long trip, to ensure a safe journey, or to hang in your new home to dispel any negativity that may have been left by the previous occupants.
7. Grow sweetgrass in your home garden for protection & good luck
Sweetgrass is an extremely positive herb so plant it in your garden to shroud your home in positive vibes. Planting it by your front door will also protect your home from negativity and instill a sense of focus, peace, and tranquility which will make you more open to receiving new opportunities. As an added benefit, sweetgrass also has mosquito repelling properties.
Bear in mind that sweetgrass can grow fairly tall (up to 60cm) so it is best to plant it at the back of your garden or in the center. It can also spread to be over 2ft wide so ensure it is planted in a place where it can be restricted a little.
How to smudge with sweetgrass for cleansing and protection?
Here are three simple steps you can follow while smudging with sweetgrass.
Step 1: Light the sweetgrass
When dried and braided sweetgrass is burned, it tends to smolder rather than produce an open flame. This makes it a fairly easy herb to smudge with, however, you should still ensure you have a fireproof bowl to prevent the ashes from falling onto your carpet.
Simply light the end of a sweetgrass braid or smudge stick then gently wave it to release the smoke around your space. When doing this, make sure you pay close attention to the areas that you feel would benefit the most from cleansing, including all four corners of your home.
Step 2: Set an intention
Always remember that it is important to set your intention when smudging; what do you want to achieve with the smudging process? A happier family? To clear negativity after an argument? The more specific you are the better. It can be beneficial to solidify your intent with the use of a smudging prayer which can be simple or elaborate, as sweetgrass is believed to carry your words to the creator. The most important thing is that the words mean something to you. Here are a couple of short examples below:
“I pray for the health and wellness of my family.” “Thank you for protecting this home and my loved ones.”
Step 3: Relax and cleanse your spirit
Once you are done, you can leave the sweetgrass in a fireproof bowl to burn down on its own. It is also a good idea to sit and relax in the area you have cleansed, to inhale the sweet scent and cleanse yourself too!
Many people choose to burn sweetgrass and sage together as sage works to intensity the cleansing properties of sweetgrass.
Conclusion
Sweetgrass is one of the four plants that is considered to be sacred by many native cultures including Inuit and Metis tribes, earning it the name of Holy grass. Throughout history, sweetgrass has been revered for its soothing and calming properties which work to repel negative energies and lift the spirit.

Another way to Create Your Reality
One of the definitions for the word: “Realization” is, “the fulfillment or achievement of something desired or anticipated”. This was a word that took a little time for me to reclassify within my vocabulary while I was pursuing my degree in mysticism. It makes so much sense though, to realize is to literally make something “real”, at least in the sense of the word as we understand it. It’s to…

Angels Cards: A Divine Tool for Guidance and Inspiration
Shaina Tranquilino
September 11, 2023
Tumblr media
In our journey through life, we often seek guidance and inspiration from various sources. Whether it's from books, meditation, or even conversations with loved ones, we are constantly searching for that spark of insight to help us navigate the challenges and uncertainties that come our way. One such tool that has gained popularity in recent years is Angels Cards.
Angels Cards are a unique deck of cards specifically designed to connect individuals with divine beings known as angels. These cards act as a medium between our conscious mind and the spiritual realm, offering guidance and support from these celestial entities. Each card features an angelic image along with a message or affirmation, providing users with gentle reminders of their inherent connection to the divine.
What makes Angels Cards so fascinating is their versatility. Unlike traditional tarot cards, which follow a strict structure and symbolism, Angel Cards offer a more intuitive approach. They allow users to trust their instincts and emotions when interpreting the messages conveyed by these celestial guides. This freedom allows for personalization and customization based on individual needs and circumstances.
Using Angels Cards is relatively simple; all you need is an open heart and a willingness to listen to your inner voice. Before beginning your reading, take a moment to ground yourself and set your intention. You may choose to ask specific questions or simply invite the angels into your space for general guidance. Shuffle the deck while focusing on your query or intention until you feel drawn to select one or multiple cards.
Once you've chosen your cards, take time to observe the imagery and absorb its energy. Reflect on the message presented before you – it could be a word of encouragement, validation of a decision you're contemplating, or perhaps a nudge in a new direction altogether. Trust your intuition as you interpret what the angels are trying to convey through these symbols.
Angels Cards can serve several purposes in our lives. Some individuals use them primarily as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. Others may rely on them during times of uncertainty or when seeking guidance in specific areas such as relationships, career choices, or spiritual development. Angels Cards can also be used as daily affirmations or reminders to stay connected with the divine and embrace our inner light.
The beauty of Angels Cards lies in their ability to foster a sense of trust and connection with the angelic realm. By engaging with these cards regularly, we open ourselves up to receiving messages from higher beings who are eager to guide us towards our highest potential. Through their wisdom and love, angels offer comfort, support, and encouragement during both challenging times and moments of celebration.
Whether you're a seasoned spiritual seeker or simply curious about exploring new avenues for inspiration, Angels Cards can serve as a powerful tool in your journey. Their gentle presence reminds us that we are never alone, that divine assistance is always available if we choose to seek it. So why not invite these celestial beings into your life today? Grab a deck of Angel Cards, tune into your intuition, and let the angels guide you towards the path of fulfillment and joy.

Today’s yoga session
I found this video today October 14, 2022 Friday early morning before sunrise. It gave me the opportunity to practice this full hour, the hour reaching up to sunrise today. It was not only very relaxing, it was very nourishing. I know that my body is thankful for the movements and the time. As well as providing warmth.

#yinyoga #friday #Fridayvibes #kwanyin #sacredyarn #bracelet
💚💚
Today’s sacred bracelet is Kwan Yin
I designed her bracelet with seven different colors of yarn.
Green for faith, lavender for acknowledgment, teal for high morals, white for strength, tan for purpose, yellow for ancient truth, and rose for trust.
💚💚
Intention bracelet, yoga bracelet, prayer bracelet, meditation. 🧘‍♀️
Reiki bracelet
I used this bracelet in my practice many times as a Reiki master teacher.
These blessed yarn bracelets work in comparison to gemstones yet are different.
They are meant to be worn or carried with you, used to set intentions, or use as a type of rosary. There are special sacred prayers you can say to each of the goddesses or angels per each bracelet.
There are general prayers you can say or recite.
You find one or more that registers with you and or the day.
They can be placed in specific areas such as on an altar, tied around a candle or something special and sacred, inside your pillowcase, or carried with you in your pocket or purse, anywhere else strategic that would assist you throughout the day if you did not want to wear it on your wrist.
They can also be worn on the ankles.
If anyone is interested in purchasing them or knowing more please feel free to contact me.
💚💚
Have a very blessed Friday.

Magickal tools
Charms, amulets, and talismans are objects that are believed to possess magical or mystical properties and are often used for protection or to bring good luck.
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they have slightly different meanings:
Charms: A charm is an object that is believed to have magical power to protect the wearer from harm or to bring good luck. Charms are often worn as jewelry, such as a necklace or bracelet, and may be made from a variety of materials, including metal, stone, or wood. Examples of charms include a four-leaf clover, a horseshoe, or a rabbit's foot.
Amulets: An amulet is also an object that is believed to have magical power, but it is typically worn or carried for the purpose of protecting the wearer from evil or harm. Amulets are often made from materials that are believed to have protective properties, such as certain stones, metals, or herbs. Examples of amulets include a crystal pendant, a piece of amber, or a protective talisman.
Talismans: A talisman is an object that is believed to have magical power to bring good fortune or to achieve a specific goal. Talismans are often created for a specific purpose, such as attracting love, wealth, or success. They may be made from a variety of materials, such as precious stones, herbs, or metals, and may be worn or carried as a reminder of the desired outcome. Examples of talismans include a lucky coin, a mojo bag, or a sigil.
In summary, while charms, amulets, and talismans are all believed to have mystical properties, they have different purposes and uses. Charms are worn for good luck, amulets for protection, and talismans for achieving specific goals or desires.

I think the best thing about Heaven Official's Blessing is the absolute whiplash in tone it gives you. Volume 6 goes from the comedy gold of Xie Lian going, "Oh, Hua Cheng can always find me because of the red string tied around our fingers. No, not like the red string of fate or anything...totally different. What do you mean it's literally the same thing?" to being stabbed a hundred times and witnessing everyone he loves either kill themselves or leave him.

reading the novel, i love how blatantly indulgent of the juniors lan wangji is. when he was their age, he was duelling wei wuxian over broken rules and lived his life by behaving as precisely as what was expected of him, and now as an adult, he's basically letting the juniors do whatever they want as long as it isn't unsafe and generally letting the kids act like kids
which leaves wei wuxian to have to be the one playing bad cop. wei "has never followed anyone else's rules in his life" "bane of lan qiren's existence" "public enemy number one" wuxian has to be the one being like "oh my god don't burn money on someone else's doorstep, don't you know that's rude. you kids need to focus on your studies more, why isn't anyone teaching you anything useful, do i have to do everything myself around here"
