Traditionally pagans have celebrated life’s journey with rites of passage. The joining of two people in marriage is one of those passages. Today’s pagans want a wedding that reflects their values.

Growing and Using White Sage for Smudging
White sage is one of my favorite herbs to grow for smudging ceremonies. Smudging is an ancient ceremony used for purification, cleansing, and blessings.
I grow a variety of herbs for medicinal and ceremonial purposes. By nurturing them from young plants to dried smudge sticks I get a great deal of satisfaction and I feel my smudge sticks are much more powerful because they have my energy.
Natures Calendar and the Modern Pagan
Long before clocks, calendars, and phone apps, the ancients knew how to monitor the passing of time. Nature’s calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles which give us the days, weeks, months, and seasons of the year.
These natural cycles have energy that is also present within us. By understanding these natural rhythms, we can be in harmony with nature and understand how to flow with her forces.
