how to use

First, sage your space to clear any negative energy. Then, take your sweetgrass braid and cut off the drier end of the braid (the one with less green in it). Place the end outside as an offering, don't just throw it away as sweetgrass is a sacred plant! Light the braid at the cut end. Let it catch fire and then blow it out gently. As the smoke fills the air, say out loud or to yourself: "I ask that the plant spirit of the sweetgrass fill my space with positive energy." Extinguish it by snuffing it out in a fireproof dish when you're done.
