Would the Highway Patrolman understand if he stopped you, say for speeding,
and smelled this smudge wreaking on you, on your way back home from using it?
He may tell you to stand over in the ditch and watch him tear your vehicle apart...
Could lose a lot of time before he decided nothing wrong, ticket and let you go.
There weren't the illegal herb laws, back when the Indians used it.
Gotta' be another way...![]()
HA! Try using SMUDGING RITUAL in a MAX Security Prison in Virginia; TRUE story... I was Treatment Programs Supervisor & Top Administer On Duty (Acting Warden per assigned schedule); the FEDS in @ 1990 stated ALL Inmates were to be given SPECIAL DIETS & RELIGIOUS Programing (ie, MORE than just CHRISTIANS.) We had World Community of Islam, Nation of Islam, Native Americans DRUM, Jewish sects (Black or White, etc.). We had KOSHER Diets, Veggie Diets, etc. It was MY job to create space for various Faiths, beyond Christians... they had their own Sponsor. With my University MINOR in Religion, and being Inter-Faith, I became Inter-Faith Special Religion Programing Sponsor & worked with other staff on Special Diets for "qualified" inmates. The TRUE story on SMUDGING: I have Powhatan blood & and am 1/4 Monacan Nation... so, DRUM ask me to join them... I did. They wanted a Sweat Lodge... I said NO. We met outside on "the Yard" in a circle... NO Drums. We also met inside, in the Visiting Room; outside Visitor provided a Smudging Stick; Smudged "The Circle", with a Security Guard at the door. Security Guard told Watch Commander, "Lt.; Mr. T is smoking POT with the Indians!" LOL!



Rebel, your remark on prisons struck a memory chord. I remember working at San Quintin, max security, that we had an hour for music practice.
All went well except for one colored gentleman who loved to play hs bongo drums, he managed to drown out the others
Numerous request to not play them so energetically failed to quiet him down, until one day somebody commented on his ancestry and yelled out "Let the poor S.O.B. alone he is just cumunicatng with his dead mother.
Complete silence for a brief moment, then the hell exploded with laughter and crude rremarks - == strangely enough he never played them again.
So much with communicating wirh past spirits.

Crosse de Sign - that looks like a really cool spot amigo, and those carvings are especially interesting! Not the modern initials type, but that "eye" symbol looks like something very ancient, the "eye of Baal" and often a part of a Tanit symbol. May I ask where that spot is? (In a general way, no specifics)

Oro, interesting comment about the eye, can you fill me in a little more?
Who would have used it, if that's what it is?
It's north of Mexico, south of the Dakotas...![]()
Thanks for your interest and comment.![]()



OK so the location is NOT on the far side of ye olde big pond (Atlantic) where such a symbol would not be out of place.
The eye of Baal would be Phoenician, representing the seeing eye of the great god Baal (Hammon) and often portrayed as topping the image of the goddess Tanit (Punic mainly rather than strictly Phoenician) aka "Tanit pene Baal" or Tanit the face of Baal. Like this one:

As you can see the "eye" part makes the top of the symbol, and could be used alone.
As a symbol it also carries meanings, one of which is simply that "god" is watching you there. Not the god of Christianity/Judaism or Islam, but the ancient Baal of Phoenician and Celtic religious beliefs. At such a spot, finding a symbol like that could indicate the site is a holy site for sacrifice, and as you know their religion included human sacrifice. This could result in a very haunted spot, if one believes in such things that is.
Are there any other odd carvings around that spot, which do not look like modern "Janie loves Bobby" stuff? Thank you in advance,

PS - by any chance, is there an old swamp or bog near by? Or a former swamp, one that dried up? Just curious, but these were considered "magical" places by Phoenicians and Celts as you probably know; human sacrificial victims could be thrown into bogs or swamps as a part of the ritual, the victims often being killed after memorizing a special message for the 'gods'. I realize that our historians do not allow that any Phoenicians came to America but I am convinced they, or to be specific, Carthaginians did, and left their calling cards in various places much as the Norse did in northern areas.
Is THAT a "Hooked-X"...? Hmmmm... The ORIGINAL Knights Templar were indicated to have been in Texas; KT Sword was found there... COULD have been a "Trade Object", tho. KT got CELTIC "influence" from travels in Ireland, on to America, "google" Knights Templar Tower, USA. HH!
