New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The hearth is the heart of the home, and throughout winter, it is a central place of comfort, nurturance, and gathering. Today, bless your hearth-bless your kitchen. Gather sage, matches, and a small sweet treat. In a fireproof container, light the sage, creating smoke. Gently fan it throughout your kitchen. As you smudge, say:
"Smoke, gather, and purify, cleaning this space." Open the window or door. Lean out and let the smoke rise up to the sky: "Carry my blessings to the heavens." Moving back indoors, smudge your stove, the heart of the kitchen: "Bless this kitchen and all who are nourished here." Eat the sweet treat, extinguish the smudge pot, and intone: "May this hearth nourish us and feed our spirits. Indeed, life is sweet." |
