Blessing Ceremony

Each person present is smudged with copal incense, which cleanses and blesses people, places, and things. In the tradition of the Azteca and Mayan cultures, copal is used for blessing and sacred ceremonies. Phyllis, Cindy, Ray, and Mark are cleansed with holy water and anointed with oils to bless their work as a team. Incense is burned in each of the four “Cardinal” directions in the following order: East-tobacco; West-cedar; North-sweetgrass; and South-sage.

All participants turn and face each direction as instructed. In each direction, each person will send out a thought for prosperity and manifestation as the direction is called in.
