What can I do with cedar smudge?
Cedar trees are very old, wise and powerful spirits. Cedar is often used to cleanse a
home or apartment when first moving in, inviting unwanted spirits to
leave and protecting a person, place or object from unwanted influences.
Hante blaska to the Lakota as its known, Flat Cedar is a sacred herb often used
in ceremony and during times of prayer…and, according to ancient legend,
this dried herb is also a favorite of enigmatic Thunder Beings (Wakinyan):
If a Lakota is doing a ceremony relative to
Wakinyan (Thunder Being), he should make an
incense of the leaves of the cedar tree. This is because the cedar tree is
the favorite of Wakinyan, and he never strikes it with lightning.
The smell of the smoke of the cedar is pleasing to him.
