Rituals with frankincense, sage & sacred plants

In your home, the air carries memories. Some linger like an embrace, others like a shadow. The gentle smoke of frankincense and sage knows how to settle them all in their place.
Basil brings protection and luck, rosemary opens the mind and heart, while sage clears and makes space for the new.

Choose to burn a leaf, a stick, or a blend from Numinos jars, and let your home, thoughts, and body breathe anew.

Ritual for energetic cleansing of the home

When the air feels heavy or your thoughts are tangled, it’s time to let the smoke speak.
Choose a Numinos blend frankincense, white sage, or sage with basil or rosemary.
You will need an incense burner or a heatproof bowl, and a special charcoal for fumigation. Light the charcoal and wait until it turns red and hot, then sprinkle the chosen blend over it.
Walk through the house, focusing on corners, thresholds, and windows. You may recite a prayer such as the “Our Father,” or simply say:
“I cleanse this space of all that no longer serves me. I open the door to light and peace.”
Finally, air out the space and let the calm remain.

Ritual for family protection

Protection is like an invisible blanket you spread over your loved ones.
Use frankincense mixed with basil, known for blessings and protection.
Light the charcoal in the incense burner and gently sprinkle the blend over it. As the smoke rises, imagine it enveloping the home in a white-golden light, like a wall of safety.
Say:
“May the light protect us, may love keep us close, may peace dwell here.”
You can perform this ritual whenever you feel the need, especially after hosting guests or following tense periods.

Ritual of welcome for new energies

Before a new beginning a move, a project, a dream set in motion prepare the space for what is to come.
Choose sage with rosemary for clarity and inspiration.
Burn the blend on hot charcoal, walking slowly through the space in gentle, circular movements. Let the smoke flow through doors and windows, inviting good energy in.
Say clearly:
“I bless this place and invite only what is for my highest good and for the good of all who pass through here.”
Let the smoke settle, then light a Numinos candle as a sign of the new story that begins.

Ritual of release and forgiveness

Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to let go of what weighs us down.
Choose a simple blend of frankincense and sage.
Light the charcoal and, when hot, gently sprinkle the blend.
Sit in a quiet place and watch the smoke rise. As you breathe deeply, imagine everything that burdens you worries, fears, painful memories lifting with the smoke and dissolving into the air.
Say:
“I release what no longer serves me. I choose to forgive and move forward, gently and at peace.”
After the ritual, open the windows wide, let the fresh air in, and light a Numinos candle as a symbol of the new light in your life.
