when you can’t *burn* herbs, boil them in water! use the humidity to cleanse like smoke - just with a water blessing. you can also use blessed water!!
Love this idea. 😁
I hope this isn`t a dumb question. Who blesses the water--a priest? As in holy water?
@@lilypotter9476 No lol. You can charge it in the moon or charge it yourself.
@@lilypotter9476 whoever you feel is qualified to do so. I’m a non religious- I bless the water myself. If you have a priest that you trust you can absolutely ask them to do so for you.Just make sure they either know your intentions or do so to naturally enhance the water’s properties. Look up water blessings- if you’re of a certain religion you can absolutely write for example “how to do a jewish water blessing”. Good luck!
what a great idea!
Home girl turned up the vampire aesthetic up to 11
AHAHAHHAHA
You’ll definitely want to crack windows and open doors. Not only does the negative energy need to exit, you’ll need to do this to be able to breathe.
"back to front, top to bottom, out the front door" sounds like the the spell I cast on my traits I bring home 😂😂😂
Please note that when I use the word Sage I am referring to the Garden Sage we have here in England, I don't specify each time I say it and I realised post filming that I should clarify.

I had a gorgeous sage plant but my sister killed it :(
I don't want to pressure you, but I'm wondering what's your upload schedule? I'm just curious, because I feel like it might have changed.
Good to know! 👍🏼
I'm glad you said that. I'm Native American- Hunkpapa Lakota and it bothers me to see so many other people who identify as Native online often behave like gatekeepers over sage. White sage is grown by a western U.S. tribe and they harvest and sell it. However sage grows around the world and because it's used to cleanse and in a spiritual way I don't agree with all the arguments over its use. I would rather have people connecting with spirit using sage then to be selfish and claim that it's cultural appropriation in the U.S. I know you're in England but you mentioned America and Walmart. 🙂 Smudging is so minor as part of traditional ceremony. If it disappeared from the Earth traditional ceremonies would adapt, find other herbs and still go on. We're not a large homogeneous group apart from the online community. I appreciate your channel and the information you share. Thank you
I'd use Russian Blue Sage
I love little sandalwood sticks for smoke cleansing. My coven and I will divide the work up - one focuses on pushing out negative energy (usually with a bell), one calls in positive energy (with a candle or singing bowl), and one closes each portal (doorways, windows, and mirrors) with the smoke in clockwise motion in front of each portal.
Then we fortify the property barrier with salt and whatever tells us to use it.
What I do (when I remember), and it really helps... I do a daily incense stick, usually in the morning with my cup of coffee, and then I do a smoke cleanse with loose herbs bi weekly, monthly if I don't remember. When I do the daily incense, I notice that everyone seems to get along better, and my anxiety is calm.
Curious, what incense do you use every morning?
Okay so in my culture we do house blessings with smoke. Now I realize people around me were practicing witchcraft without even knowing it.
So many religions and cultures do this lol. No one ever realizes the greater meaning of what they're doing
Yes, like when the priest wafted incense around my father's casket during his funeral mass. It struck me as very medieval. Now I know why, and it's older than that.
@@Starfighter_Cookies and then when we tell them about us being witches they judge us. That's so sad.
"back to front, top to bottom, and out the front door!" Love this and have used it ever sense, it's catchy and that's what makes it sooo good!
I love when she says this
Still waiting for the 'back to front, top to bottom and out the front door' merch Hearth! 💓 😂 Have a wonderful and safe holiday. 😘 Xxx
I want a shirt, hoodie and a mug!
Me too!!!! 💚
T shirt and mug
Emily, do I have to go into the attic ?
I have a problem with it
Hi, all! I was taught to cleanse clockwise around a house. Then come back to your door and let the smoke out. Then use a bell to go around the same way and use it to use sound to finish cleansing.
I am just getting into witchcraft and you’re the first creator I have really enjoyed listening to on CZcams. I really appreciate your work and it helps out a lot ❤️ I was really worried about starting to practice and was lost untill I found your channel ✨ thank you
Back to Front. Top to Bottom. Out the Front Door. Love it. Sage and Dragons Blood is my goto
I still use the mantra “Back to front, top to bottom, out the front door” when I’m cleansing😂 and also when talking to others on cleansing!
I just moved into a new house today this could not have been better timing.
I hate to be super shallow but ... you look freaking amazing today!
They are Department stores in the U.S. they have the basics like dragons blood, frankincense, Myrrh, sandalwood, and like a “spiritual” one.
I remember that phrase and it always stuck with me too!! The bundle i always like to use is rosemary and lavender. A lady from Arizona makes it from her garden and sends it to me. Have a great day Hearth!!
For house cleansing I use pine (Cedar specifically afaik), but for general cleansing of tools and such I always use Rosemary.
Finally! Hearth content! I missed you so much 🥺💖
Me, with ADHD: **×2 speed**
Yes I can understand it still 😌
I thought I was the only one lol
Lmao yess this was my mind once I seen 30mins duration
Oh. my. gosh. I think i have ADHD, like...this video is so informative and I love the way it's explained, and so detailed, but i kept getting distracted... I just tried it at x1.5 and my focus was so much better. thank you !
Happy Yule
Merry Yule!
Does anyone know the history or reason why spirits who may not have the best of intentions do not like the smoke? What is it about the smoke that makes the negativity leave? TIA for answering?
I heard another popular Witch on You Tube say Sage is like 'spiritual bleech', remvoving posative energy aswell, not just negative energy.
thank u! im excited to see the next video on cleansing without smoke because soon ill be moving my guinea pig to my room and it wont be safe to use smoke!
Great info for those that do not know how to smoke cleanse their homes. Here in Colorado, my family always thinks Marijuana has been smoked if they come over right after I've cleansed my house 🤣. I generally use a bundle of garden sage and lavender that I make myself. My basement is smokelessly cleansed with the same herbs.
I've been luck enough to find a vendor who supplies locally grown sage from Native American growers. I stock up on bundles when I visit the shop in N.C.
Also please research if the herbs you're using are toxic for your pets. As far as i know, sage smoke is not toxic for cats but it heavily is for dogs so keep that in mind!!
living in an apartment I think my neighbors would be very upset with me if I put all the smoke into the shared hallway 😅 So I send all the smoke and energy out my patio door 🤗
No disrespect to any of the others that i have watched, but you are the best i've heard yet i'am drawn to you. I'm 56 so a late comer since my late 30s i'am a Solitary Witch and have believed in magic all my life but didn't realise who i was until my 30s. It's hard to practice with a disabled husband and a now 24 year old son and of course a job but i try to do what i can. Witchcraft has helped me through hard times and made a couple of wishes come true. Thank you for your information it helps me to refreash everything, blessed be! 😀
i feel like most of the time it is much more effective to just actually clean your space and then focus on energetically cleansing it
I’ve just started looking into learning about witchcraft and becoming more in tune with the natural life around me, I do have to be a bit careful as I have a bird buddy, my green cheek conure and she’s extremely sensitive to smokes, candles and oils which is sad but I will work around it.
I've been practicing my craft for years and got a green cheek a few months ago! It's a little sad that I can't use candles and stuff anymore, but Ive decided I'm gonna use it as an opportunity to practice outside and connect more with nature! Just have to wait for the snow to melt...hahaha
Great video. Very clear, complete and easy to follow. Thank you
I have decided to do a cleansing in my house at each Quarter Sabbat just to help me continue practicing as I learn. :)
I really love how informative your channel is. I really really do. It makes me so happy ❤️ thanks for sharing such helpful information all the time
Lol. "Rainstorm in your living room. Not ideal." 😄❤
AHHH IVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS THANK UOU
Yay! I love your videos! Hope you had a happy winter solstice and Yule !
You might not be able to find incense in the supermarkets but Poundland sells incense sticks. I’ve bought some from there recently 😌
I've never seen incense in poundland before, only incense holders & wax melt stuff
So lovely to have another video from you, thank you!!!
Thankful for this video and your existence🖤
Great reminder! I been thinking it might be time to do this!
And all of us do this. We can hang out with our friends again. Have our lives back. High Priestess, that much positive energy has to have an effect. I believe it's possible. This is doable, Lady Hearth. Just a thought.
I loved the way you kept kind of interrupting yourself with safety tips, especially the bit about having alarms... :-)
Love this. Very useful information.
Love the makeup today! 💚🤍🖤
Love your new look....your knowledge is amazing, thank you for this instruction....love love love it...we love nag champa incense for cleansing🖤🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚💚💚
I always love your videos.... even after all these years I always learn something new or am reminded of something I forgot about what it's like to be new to the craft
*gasp* 'Love the new look of your wall.
See I like to work from bottom to top! But everyone is diff♡ love it
Kinda kidsy, but right now, I'm watching the Neverending Story. Blessed be Lady Hearth. ✌️❤️🧙♀️
I grow berggarten sage and I like to make them into bundles and dry them at home. White sage is over harvested and often unethically sourced so I highly suggest not buying it and making your own sage bundles if possible or substituting it with rosemary instead. Alternatively my favorite way of cleansing a space is with sound, using a bell or a drum is common for this, so that is also a good option,
Very informative, thank you.
How do you always come out with a video during a time I need it the most lol!
Thank you for that was a very helpful 👌 keep up the good work
i have a selfmade stick of dried lavender and i only cleans my own room. while i do the whole smoke stuff i talk a bit like "every spirit or entity without any well meaning isn't welcomed here and i ask you to go"
Thank you! 🖤
Thanks again Hearth
love your makeup here
Loved every moment!!!
you’re gonna hit 100k!!!
I love making cedar smudge sticks they're messy as heck tho to make lol
My family has at least 10 Eastern Red Cedar Trees(also known as a type of juniper since the needles are scaled; i do ask permission)
I'm gonna watch this vid again and every time you say back to front, top to bottom and out the front door .... I'm doing a shot! J\k but it's a fun idea. Lol
That sounds like a perfect idea!!!!
thanks💜❗️
For stick and cone incense, my absolute favorite is HEM brand. Especially Dragons 🐉 Blood 🩸 🖤🗝 Typing this on the Cold Moon 🌝 Last one of 2020. BLESSINGS TO ALL!
I love using copal and cedar
How I missed that motto and phrase ahahah well done on the video!
? I have an older home ( built in 1919) we have to seal the windows in the winter. The first time i did a smoak clensing after we sealed i realized i couldnt open my windows!!!! I have since modifyed one of my three attic windows in the way i insulate and i have 3 doors ( bascment, back, and front) i open all 4 of these when i finish smoak and go back and walk to waft without the smoak. Sometimes i use bells on the second round. Depends in how ugly my space feels.
Thx for being specific! Idk if this is an ADHD thing, an autism thing, or a me thing, but for some reason I can't understand something correctly unless it's explained really specific specifically, otherwise I'll be really confused lol, anyways, thx!
OK I have a question !
Some people have raised the idea that good smells keep in "bad entities" or bad energies in while strong unpleasant smells chase them away. What do you think?
In my opinion, nice scents sooth the mind and to me it makes sense that it replaces toxicity with all that good stuff in a room or home.
Back to front top to bottom & out the front door!
Good video.
In the case of smoke cleansing in the house with children, pets and asthmatic people, I would simply remove them from the house for a couple of hours or until the smoke clears and you can't smell it anymore.
Harth do you have a video on House Protection?
I personally love fred soll's incense. They are in new mexico and currently ship only in usa until this pandemic settles.
Hahaha, the outro! xD It's fine!
By the way I love your videos
Anyway, how goes your Yule? Mine's pretty cool too. Helping around the house. Lol. I'm on holiday baking duty. Love and light to you and hope your holiday is as awesome as all of our's. Merry meet again. P.S. I've asked (prayed) Cerridwen herself about the spell. As the signs she sent me, I believe she agrees it's a good idea. And highly possible. If enough of us are in. I'm gonna try. It'd be powerful and hard to cast, but possible. In any event, Happy Holidays and again, Your Grace, blessed be. ✌️🧙🔮
I know that a lot of people are against using white sage. But what if that’s all you can get your hands on?
I’m in the uk too. I think we can get incense in Trago Mills, or at least sometimes we can 😉
The timing couldn't be better, thank you very much ❤️ btw you are very pretty. Happy Yule!
Must you have cleanse your cleansing tools after buing them ?(like cleansing sticks etc)
Lol, we have a fire alarm but we took out the batteries because we burn a lot of food and it went off like once a week 😂😂😂😂 Thank you for this helpful video!!! I greatly appreciate all the tips and information! I’ll probably start with cleansing my personal space while everybody is out of the house before checking to see if my family would be okay with me cleansing the entire house! Thank you again! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is there a more preferred time (ie. Sabbaths, New Moon, or just when you feel like you need it) to cleanse your home/space? Also, when you take down the protections for the space, how do you make sure nothing unsavory seeks in?
Love your videos, full of good information. I'm asthmatic but would I be ok with a mask on for the sage cleansing?
I would say just to not aggravate your asthma go with a sage spray instead of burning the sage. I use the sage spray when I have to cleanse my children's rooms
What kind of protections can I do after or how do I bring in the energy I want?
how about using tobacco smoke for house cleansing ?
What if the house has panes of glass around it ,in leiu of windows ?
Hey can someone tell me , How to put a protection after cleansing ? ♥️😘 TIA
Does the top to bottom..back to front include the attic?
( I'd rather avoid the attic for a good reason)
Would opening the windows & doors before one does a house cleansing be a good idea ?
❤
It would be more fluid for me to do top to bottom, back to front then front to back, and out the back door.
Is there any significance in it being the front door or is back door okay?
Walmart here in the states carries incense, both stick and cones . Normally its the Gonesh brand (about 2.00) along with a "walmart" discount brand (1.00)
and I use Frankincense, Sage (common) Mugwort and Sandalwood for incense cleanising
Hi how are you I am Mike a beginner in this craft I have been watching your videos and I am learning a lot and was wondering if you consider in writing any books? I am from America and live in upstate New York.
would it make sense to smoke cleanse my backyard? i feel like there is a lot of build up negative energy but does it make sense to do it outside?
Walmart is considered a "super store" or a "big box store" I believe, they basically sell everything from groceries, to clothing, shoes, home goods, toiletries, pet food, cleaning supplies, fabric, craft supplies... seriously, they have sooooo much stuff.... car stuff and toys and even a gardening section.
Will smoke cleansing also chase out good spirits? One of my cats passed last week and I want him to be able to keep visiting if he wants to.
Question:
does anyone know something about saining? Yknow, the Scottish way of cleansing? I myself am from Scottish descent and I have considered smudging, but every time I just feel kind of weird and like it’s wrong since it’s Native American cultures. I have done some research about smudging and have found a few Native Americans say that it’s fine as long as you’re being respectful, but I still kind of want to add my own background into my craft.
I’ve also tried researching saining but can’t find much since it’s not as popular as cleansing with incense or smudging, but I just really wanna learn. So, does anyone know anything about saining? If you do, please comment it :)
I have a lot of rosemary. Somehow the plant we had died 😬
I've cleansed a few times when my dads not home ( is the son of a firefighter )
Hearth, the top to bottom part of cleansing a house... Does that Mean that I have to go into the attic ?
I'd rather fore go going up into that room .. ( I'm Claustophobic)
Does scent diffusers work?
My landlord threw out my candles/incense when the smoke alarm went off.
Thank you and Happy Winter Solstice!
Your landlord did what??? How was that legal?
@@melissavarner7576 I don't think so but i didn't want to cause a fuss
