Once you've got the physical stuff done, now it's time to focus on the fun part. Smudge your home with one of the following:
- Sage
- Sweetgrass
- Pine needles
- Mistletoe
To do a smudging, start at your front door with your incense or smudge stick in a censer or bowl. Move the incense around each door and window, and go through each room, following along the lines of the walls. If you have multiple levels, continue up and down stairs as needed. Some people like to add a small incantation to the process, like this one:
Yule is here, and I smudge this place,Fresh and clean, in time and space.
Sage and sweetgrass, burning free,
protecting my loved ones, so it shall be.
Once you've completed the smudging, sit back and enjoy the positive energy that comes with having a clean physical space.
