Being of native descent myself, the indigenous people were not the first to practice smuging, and noone is stealing anything. I understand if someone said, “my 5th grate grandfather who was white invented smudging” but that is far from what this is. This world would be a lot better if people started livng instead of worrying about everyone else.

I am not familiar with smudging but I consider all those traditions,like , also, sprinkling holy water in a house in the orthodox church, a way of soothing our anxiety and fears about the different forms of evil, let’s call it bad energy as well.I have much respect for all these techniques but I really wonder if bad energy dissipates just like that, I don’t think it’so simple especially when you have a place overloaded with the energy of other people for years and years! It’s the reason why I chose for our family to live in a new apartment, I wanted it to be like a tabula rasa.In the past when I rented a house I always used to make a small research in order to find out what life brought to people who lived there because I truly believe that a place can bring positive or negative vibes in one’s life.

Hi Shawn,
thanks for sharing your views. Of course I would never try to disrespect anyone, especially a people who I have always held the greatest respect for. I have my own views on learning from different cultures and perpetuating the beauty of those cultures and practices. The people I know personally from varying cultures are not offended when their practices are used in a way that is thankful for, and respectful of, their history so I choose to go off of that informed way of operating in the world. There are definitely many differing opinions about all of this out there, some more extreme than others, and while I respect your opinion I also don’t agree with lack of “clearance” for “white people” to appreciate and participate in a ritual which is intended solely to bring a person lasting peace and tranquility.

Wow Dana. You’re a pretty hateful, rude person. Someone’s out here advocating for indigenous people, actually doing the work and you have nothing but hate to spew. Pretty telling of your personality I’m sure. I’ve actually found the same information as Shawn has mentioned. That’s three people on this particular topic who are saying that white people need to step back and examine something they are doing. Why not think a little deeper?

Never claimed to be an expert, simply passing along what I think is important information from those effected. I’ll take your incredibly snarky comment to mean you have no interest in learning new things or hearing differing opinions. That’s a recipe for a very ignorant existence.

It’s all fine and good to mention where the practice comes from but this does not give a white person clearance to use that practice. I follow several indigenous people on Instagram and the message from them is always the same, because white people have started appropriating the burning of sage it has made it very difficult to find for native tribal use. I recommend you all follow @lilnativeboy on Instagram because he lays all out and makes an excellent point when he says, “when it’s literally illegally stolen from Natives (just like everything else in this country) do you really think it’s going to give you good energy?”
