From my neighbor:

"Were you perchance burning sage outside your door? There's some still lit out there."

I bolted out and discovered the landing (atop a flight of stairs) completely filled with smoke, and the neighbor apologetically explaining that he had to stamp it out because it had set the welcome mat on fire.

Needless to say, I had not been burning sage.

So, apparently someone walked up a flight of stairs, set a bunch of sage on fire, and took off. What the actual fuck.

If I believed in a woo attractor, I would say you have one, but I don't, so...I am at a loss for anything other than anti-plague endeavors at randomly chosen doors, or just possibly smudging by someone who knows you. If the latter, I really have no idea whether they're trying to help out because they like you, or they feel you have "bad energy" of some sort that needs clearing up (or some combination of the two).

It's hard to rationalize the irrational with so little data!

Remember when you got those three egg-shaped rocks, and someone (skygiants?) recommended telling your parents you'd put one in a tree, buried one, and put one in a body of water (iirc)? Clearly we need to call on the woo consulting services again!

YES. I will remember the magic egg-shaped rocks until I die.

I will remember the burying one, putting one in a tree, and putting one at sea (or something like that) until I die! I was impressed.

The funny thing is I knew immediately what you were talking about because I have one, but only because I like mineral stores and thought it looked like a neat addition to my collection of rock-like objects, not because I think they're magic.

Agreed--my first thought was that it sounds like helping or hindering a witch. :/
