Study Shows How Smudging Sage Does a Lot More Than “Clear Evil Spirits”
The ritualistic use of plant smoke stretches back to the prehistorical era and is still used, the world over, as a way of ‘cleansing’ the spirit. Now, modern scientific research reveals that the practice may actually have health-benefiting implications by purifying the air of harmful bacteria.
The burning of herbs and plant resins for medicinal and spiritual purposes – so-called ‘smudging’ – is an ancient practice among indigenous people around the world; one increasingly adopted by Westerners. Smudging is a technology believed to unlock the ‘spirits’ of various plant allies to restore balance and ease to the individual or group. Some liken it to taking a ‘spiritual shower,’ enabling you to wash away emotional and spiritual negativity that accumulates in your body and the spaces you live.
That said, skeptics believe attributing health benefits to the burning of sage and incense reflects ‘magical thinking.’ The practice has even been accused of being a New Age form of cultural imperialism where ‘plastic’ or ‘white’ shamans mimic and co-opt the traditions of indigenous people their predecessors essentially conquered.
Given the polarized view on this increasingly common practice, as well as the well-known role that the burning of incense plays in even Western religious traditions, such as Catholicism, we decided to explore t to see what we could find.
What studies revealed about “smudging”
First, we uncovered a 2006 review published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology titled “Medicinal Smoke” that looked at single and multi-ingredient herbal and non-herbal remedies administered as smoke from 50 countries across 5 continents. The researchers found, with surprising overlap worldwide, medicinal smoke is mostly used to address the following specific organ systems: Click here to read the rest of this article

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Don’t be afraid to shake up the status quo today because you want to do your own thing. This will especially apply to creative projects, the arts, sports and fun activities with kids. However, do take note: be vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today you want to shake things up a little, which is why you might rearrange furniture, invite friends over or do something different at home. You might do or say something that surprises a family member or vice versa. You might organize a group activity, like a book club.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re eager for adventure and something different today. This is why travel or a short trip will please you because you can see new places and meet new faces. In addition, you’re full of original, inventive thinking. Why not share your ideas? Run them up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Keep an eye on your possessions and your assets today because something unpredictable could impact them. Possibly, you will find money? Then again, you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage because anything related to your wealth is unpredictable today.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today it’s a bit of a crapshoot; nevertheless, you’re full of big, inventive, original ideas! These might include travel plans or exploring opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law or something to do with getting further training or higher education. You’re stoked!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a restless day for you. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. A partner or close friend might be a tad contentious or difficult to deal with. Don’t take the bait because you have better things to do. Get ready for an unexpected opportunity to travel.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
A friend might surprise you today; or alternatively, you might meet someone who’s a real character. Either way, interactions with others won’t be boring. Fortunately, the people you encounter today (including those from your past) will be interesting.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Tread carefully because someone in a position of authority, including the police, might catch you off guard today. (“Busted!”) A boss or a parent might say or do something that you least expect. Don’t react immediately. Give yourself a chance to process things.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Surprise travel plans might happen today; or alternatively, travel plans might be cancelled or changed. Stay light on your feet because you want to socialize and have a good time today. And you want to do it on your own terms because you feel feisty and independent.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Make sure you know what’s happening with banking matters and anything to do with shared property and inheritances because something out of the blue could suddenly change things. Don’t be caught snoozing. When it comes to your wealth, stay on top of things.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today’s a bit of a crapshoot, which is why friends, partners and even members of the general public might catch you off guard. Someone might say or do something you didn’t expect. Nevertheless, you’re up for whatever happens because your social skills are strong and smooth. You’re Teflon.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your job, your work or even your health might be a challenge today. Something unusual might happen, which makes you dig in your heels. You feel independent and you want to fight for your rights. (With Mars in your sign, you will certainly have the energy and courage to do this.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Phoebe Dynevor (1995) shares your birthday today. You are a resilient person with confidence and willpower. You’re determined to succeed, which is likely because you can spot opportunities for yourself and others. This year is more laid-back, slower paced. Focus on your closest relationships. Choose people who have your best interests at heart.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Some of your old insecurities might surface today and despite the usual suspects, this time it is not your fault so don’t feel worse than you are already feeling.
Maybe someone close to you is trying to show you that you are not as intangible as you think you are or maybe someone else has really set their eyes on you and not with the best intentions in mind.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Quite a shiny day for you ahead but despite starting under the best auspices you will have to do more than enjoying the atmosphere if you want things to continue in this direction.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are quite focused on your goals and all the plans and steps you have prepared but maybe you are missing one very important point.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Although you might find it easier to concentrate on practical manners at the moment, you will see that the current disposition is trying to get you out of your comfort zone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You seem to be overly confident in your own powers and this often leads in two very familiar directions, you either put it all in but still maintain your control and get a lot of things done and achieve your goals.
Or you lose your control and risk more than you can really afford, in terms of finance, efforts or who knows what else.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The current disposition is somewhat trying to show you that life is pretty and that maybe you should smile more often or similar.
Who knows what might happen if you behave nicely to those around you, who knows what connection you might start with the help of just a smile and very few words, just try this approach.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON APRIL 17, you have a restless ambition that is confident more so than any other Arian. You also are equipped with more patience and self-control. You sound like a dream with your creative and innovative qualities.
The 17th April birthday personality will likely be a great leader who has a knack for finding prosperous opportunities. You have more good qualities but a few of your flaws are that you take yourself too seriously.
You can be too honest and you tend to overspend. Overall, Aries, those of you who are born on this day, are awfully caring and understanding individuals.
If today is your birth day, you need to learn how to laugh at yourselves more and stop being so serious all of the time. This Aries birthday person usually bounces back quickly from difficulties. You are humble and responsible. On the other hand, this Aries can be prudent and critical of others.
The April 17th birthday astrology predicts that because you are normally a sensitive person, you can get your feelings hurt easily. Then you slip into this funky mood as if nobody cares about you.
This couldn’t be farther from the truth and you know this, Aries. Brush that negative mood off your shoulders and be happy you’re alive. Life is too short to sulk it away.
The 17 April birthday characteristics show that you are typically cool and mild-mannered but underneath is a smoldering fire with the ability to blaze up at any time.
You probably think about sex many times throughout the day but fear rejection, however. You prefer to take the lead in initiating any romantic interest. You are likely to take control so your lovers can go at their own pace.
The April 17 birthday personality believes that courtship can be the stepping stone to really knowing someone before deciding to make any commitments. You should seek those who share your same unique qualities.
Trust is very important to you but you are very considerate of the needs of your partner. You even make the ultimate compromise if it means that your partner will be happy.
The April 17th birthday horoscope suggests that you should look for opportunities that can be financially beneficial to you and your families. Attaining a position that can pay you above and beyond the usual pay scale helps you climb the ladder of success at a quicker rate.
However, you look for those jobs that do not offer a challenge or any room for advancement. You are capable of many things if you would just take a risk. Those born on this zodiac birthday have good money management skills and resisting the urge to splurge.
You are likely to neglect your body needs. Some Arians take for granted that good health will always be theirs. You will make an appointment but then when the time comes, you cancel but never reschedule. You can be a fussy eater even with a big appetite.
This can pack on the pounds so Aries, you should exercise regularly. Yoga is a recommended choice for exercise and it has other features that do more than strengthen the muscles. It can be used as a relaxation technique that is good for relieving stress.
The 17 April birthday meaning shows that your personality is greatly influenced by your body. When you are in good health, you are in a good mood. You are a very caring person who perhaps needs to pay more attention to life itself.
You don’t really have any great expectations or ambitions. Aries, you are born under the zodiac sign symbol the Ram. You have the ability to choose the life you want and make it happen. In spite of everything, you are levelheaded and can come back from difficult situations quickly and easily.

This is a good period work-wise, and many parties may be helping you along the way or offering you opportunities or advancements that you have been working hard for. This card portends an initial phase of hard work paying off. There is more work to be done, but enjoying the moment is favored over worrying about the future when the 3 of Pentacles appears in your day. You may also be consulting with a third party to make sure that this success does indeed manifest.

The Self
Remain modest – that is the right of the oracle. Be in the world, but not from the world. Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere. Seek to live the usual life in an unusual manner.
If you take the ‘itself’ rune and cut through it in the middle, you are going to receive the rune of joy and its reflection. So there is a fine warning not to be careless. The acrobatically dancing energy of the balance is asked here to bring its higher itself. Nothing in the excess – that was the second request that was to be read at the entrance to the delphish temple. The first advice read: Recognize you yourself!

Tree: Heather (Erica spp., Calluna spp.)
Letter: U
Ur speaks of deep relationships, family, mates, and close friendships in both the biological family and non-biological family sense. It is nearly impossible to survive as a true hermit. As much as it can seem desirable at times to cut oneself off from the rest of society, the truth is we are stronger together. One of the immeasurable benefits of a light touch — letting go of small grievances, avoiding childish selfishness, and not letting irritability get the upper hand — is deep and lasting relationships. When you want something, chances are coaxing rather than forcing will get you the result you want… just like the old saying “you win more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.” Depending on your personality or mood, sweetness may seem counterintuitive. This Ogham suggests perhaps sweetness/gentleness is the best policy.
Nature is often fantastically cruel but she is also a protector and nurturer. Ur is her nurturing side. Ur teaches the beauty of the long cycle and of the flow that often goes unnoticed by busy, modern people. True kindness improves everything around you. Just as a single common plantain has an important role to play in a many-acred meadow, your small act of graciousness will reverberate and help you to evolve into an improved version of yourself. Don’t underestimate a single time where you checked your temper or did the right thing when you were tempted to do the opposite. Everything you do matters. Everything you do is part of the flow. You are indeed being watched, if only by a more enlightened version of yourself who knows better.

Five
A key characteristic of the number 5 is curiosity and the need for a variety of exciting experiences in order to feel fulfilled. It craves freedom and adventure and isn’t afraid to let the wind carry it where it may. For the 5, life isn’t about setting goals and making plans, it’s about getting out there and experimenting. Anything that stirs the senses piques the 5’s interest and it can’t wait to partake in the experience.
The Numerology number 5 is a master of change, able to go with the flow and adapt itself to thrive in different environments and social situations. It is happiest when things feel fresh, high energy, and full of possibility. The moment an experience starts to feel too routine or predictable, the 5 will move on to something more captivating. The only thing this number is truly attached to is being unattached.
Strengths
Curious: The opposite of tunnel vision, the Numerology number 5 has 360-degree vision and everything it sees looks enticing. This curious nature leads it into a variety of exciting and enlightening new experiences few others may have. For the 5, the best way to learn is to experiment.
Adaptable: This number does not stick with any one idea, job, relationship, or situation long, so being flexible is vital. Its detached emotions allow it more freedom of movement. Whether something changes by choice or by chance, this number can easily shift gears and direct its attention and energy toward its new circumstances.
Social: The number 5 is an explorer and knows that one of the best ways to experience the world is to interact with the people in it. Whether it’s one-on-one or in a lively group setting, this number flourishes in social situations and never misses a chance to engage with and learn from someone new.
Weaknesses
Non-committal: An uncontrollable need for freedom and constant change makes the number 5 very non-committal. To the 5, committing means being bored and tied down, which goes against everything it stands for. Forming meaningful relationships and becoming proficient in life skills are difficult because this number lacks the attention to see things through.
Unreliable: Easily distracted and sometimes curious to a fault, the number 5 has difficulty maintaining its focus long enough to follow through on projects and promises. This inconsistency is damaging to agreements and relationships of all types and can make the 5 come across as incapable and uncaring.
Directionless: This number has no problem just seeing where life takes it. But without any sense of direction, the 5 wastes a lot of time on experiences that don’t serve a purpose while missing out on opportunities that could make it more successful. Looking back, the 5 may realize it should have spent more time preparing.

Buckle up, difficult life change is here and you need to get done with it as fast as you can. Now is the time to leave everything pointless and everything bothering you. Leave it and forget about it, it was important in the past, now is the time to move on. Replacement of all worthless things is essential for your wellbeing.
