Ritual Smoke Guide

Smoke as Prayer. Smoke as Offering. Smoke as Return.

Ritual smoking is an ancient practice of communion, clearing, and grounding. From sacred herbs passed hand-to-hand to offerings cast to the wind, smoke has long been used to carry prayers, release heaviness, and mark the moment when the mundane becomes sacred.

This is not about habit , it is about intention.

Whether you inhale, waft, or burn, this guide invites you to reclaim smoke as ceremony.

🪶 When to Use:

Before or after ritual
In moments of grief, transition, or overwhelm
To call in clarity, calm, or connection
As a form of body prayer or ancestral remembrance

🌿 What You’ll Need:

A SoulCraft Smoke Blend or loose dried herbs
Optional: pipe, rolling paper, incense burner, charcoal disc, or bundle
A lighter or candle flame
Presence. Breath. Reverence.

✨ Ritual Steps:

Prepare the Space
Open a window or step outside. Light a candle. Breathe. Set a simple intention.
“I am here. I release what is not mine. I welcome what is.”
Bless the Blend
Hold your herbs in your palm or gaze at the smoke. Whisper your intention or let your breath be the offering.
“For grounding. For grief. For clarity. For return.”
Smoke or Burn with Intention

Inhale: Use sparingly. Breathe in gently, consciously. Pause after each breath.
Waft: Use a feather or hand to guide the smoke around your body or space.
Offer: Burn on charcoal or in fire-safe vessel as a spiritual offering to land, ancestors, or Spirit.

Close the Ritual
Let the smoke settle. Say thank you. Bury the ashes or return spent herbs to the Earth.
