I'm going to have to miss the meeting today. But before I go, I wanted to mention the following. Last week when we were chatting at the start, the topic of smudging with sage and salting came up. I had mentioned that I saw an article on the forum that covers the science of burning sage. I found it:
I thought I would share them here in case anyone is interested. Last week I swept up the salt and burned the cut garlic I had put in place during Dia de los Muertos. Afterwards I did a sage smudge to clear the home. In the thread link above, there are some prayers given by the Ra material to be said during this process, which I did.
Carolyn had mentioned that sage probably grows wild where I live here in Texas. I responded that I am more or less surrounded by concrete, but after thinking about it, that's not entirely true. The complex I live in is right next to a green belt with many parks. There probably IS sage growing wild 'round here! I apologize for my abrupt response in the meeting. I've become pretty socially awkward in recent years, and I've noticed one of the symptoms is that I respond to people too quickly and without thinking. I guess I'm nervous, and I'm grateful to the people involved in this reading workshop for being patient and also for providing a platform where I can practice getting better at mastering my fears around talking in public.
Have a great meeting, see y'all next week

Smudging and salting to clear energies
I've been meaning to post this for a week or two. There are mentions of smudging and salting on the forum, but not a dedicated thread. Recently, I noticed that just opening up the windows to let some fresh air in can make for a good feeling, even on multiple floors! I want to do some cleaning...
