Is saging to remove dark spirits actually dangerous?

The act of saging is not only ineffective at chasing away darkness, it usually is making things worse because the person is taking action because of inner fear in most cases, and that will attract such beings and will encourage them as well. They are not influenced by the energy of the smoke, and in fact, there becomes an association in the mind and senses of the person that the act of saging is linked to something fearful, and it all adds further emotional intensity to the experience which can work against the person seeking greater safety, but in some cases creating the opposite. This is yet another example of a half measure, when the very best strategy is to simply make a prayer request to the divine for assistance as that will bring the optimum opposing energy to bear on the situation. The fact people feel it is effective is largely wishful thinking. In some cases, people are doing more than one thing, they may do a saging of their home while invoking divine assistance, and so they may obtain relief but attribute it to the physical action and not to the divine outreach.
