What if I can't burn white sage?

If you need to cleanse a place from evil influences or even a spirit without burning sage, you have several options. If you have sage but you can't burn it, you can rub it on the item or place you wish to cleanse. If not, you can do the rice and salt ritual. First, and this step is only if there is an influence waiting to feed on your feelings, you should "feed the ghosts" by throwing rice like you were feeding hens. Then, go out and leave it for a few hours. When you are back, banish the sated spirit by throwing salt, not like you are feeding, it but rather like you're throwing stones at it. Say that you banish it, and work from the bottom to the entry door to push it out.
