Fumigations Sacrées

Description

This clear and contemporary guide explores the ritual use of fumigations and scents to purify the energies of mind, body and home. Amy Blackthorn, long-time aromatherapist and herbalist, offers the essential tools to create a sacred space, safe and free from negative energies; all the while respecting the cultural history of the practices she shares.

Written in an accessible and user-friendly style, Fumigations Sacrées gives you practical advice, rituals to accompany the seasons and evolve your practice, techniques to heal your energetic health and a list of essential herbs and resins to create a purifying smoke. This book is designed to help readers practice the ritual use of purification and cleansing to protect and heal themselves, their homes and their families.
