Cleansing Smudge
Can purple sage be used for making smudge sticks?
Will it have the same cleansing affect as the regular white sage?
There are a lot of sage bushes in my backyard, but there seem to be more purple sage than common sage, and I don't want to break too much of the common sage if purple will have the same affect when smudging.
Why don't you just try it and find out? There is no reason why not, as far as I can see. Anything aromatic and non-toxic can be used for smudging. Use what's in the backyard, don't let it go to waste!

Smudge Incense
Wiccan cleansing ritual for malevolent spirit. Need some input.?
I've been asked to do a cleansing ritual at a friends home to rid it of an evil spirit. This spirit has visited multiple women of this family and all are very scared. I've cleansed my own home and the results have been wonderful, however, I've never cleansed an area with such negative energies. I already plan on using white sage smudges and writing my own ritual. I have not really been able to find anything in my books or online that recommend any certain incense scents or candle colors that should be used. I do not want to go in ill prepared. Any of my fellow Wiccans have any suggestions?
I recommend black, it is good for fighting negativity.
More to the point, though, it is not so much about what color candle you use, so much as it is about you yourself being prepared, psychically. I suggest deep meditation and frequent energy-shielding workings to prepare, that's what I had to do about the negativity lodged in my closet.

Smudge Sticks
how do you make simple ouija boards planchettes and smudge sticks.?
to make a seance as safe as possible how do you make ouija boards planchettes and smudge sticks.
Ouija boards are easy. You basically need anything at all on which you can put letters, and over which an object (such as a cup or upside-down ashtray) can slide. A nearly ideal board is a table top covered with letters (cut out or written, whatever suits your fancy) and covered with a pane of glass. Over that, an inverted teacup or ashtray works perfectly, though anything you might wish to use is fine so long as it does the job - it just needs to slide easily upon the glass surface with very little pressure needed to make it go.
As for the smudge sticks, you're probably best to get them from someplace that actually produces them. Though you can tie up bundles of dried sage and mint, even a little bit of tobacco (keeps bad spirits away, though too much can chase the good ones away, too ). Just roll them up and light them, though for homemade jobs you might be better off going the incense route. Get charcoal briquettes (grill briquettes work if you can't afford the real thing) and keep heaping the desired herbs upon the glowing embers as the event progresses.
Sage is of course perfect, and mint, as well as: tobacco, lavender, rose petals, anise, licorice and saffron. For the saffron, as it is quite expensive, you might actually prefer to just use it as a sort of chew - it can melt in your mouth and tastes quite divine.
Most importantly, pray to that in which you have faith for protection, think positive and don't try to summon anything dark or sinister - you will find what you honestly try to seek, so be sincere in stating your intentions.

Smudge Stick
Help about pine smudge stick?
I was thinking of making a smudge stick to burn in my house for this yuley time of year ^-^ ~ I've never made one before, so I've researched it a little and I got a bit confused. I'm pretty sure pine is okay to burn, but I don't know if I should strip the needles off or what? Help please, and if you have any other stuff like colours of thread I should use or random information, feel free to add it :] Thank you!
I'm not sure what you mean by "burn." Will you be placing this inside a fireplace? Generally speaking, smudge sticks are used in cleansing rituals. The smudge stick is lit and waved about a room in a spiraling action. You can use pine, with the needles on, but the pine bough should be completely dried out. Here is a site of an individual who sells smudge sticks. You can get a pretty good close up picture of what they look like and how they are tied off. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35377923
