Did you ever notice a smell of smoke when nobody smoked around you and it didn't have a physical source?
If your response is "Yes", then you might have been really close to the Smoke of Hell. No, I am not kidding!
Smelling smoke, without a physical source, has many meanings. I will describe you 3 of these meanings. And I really hope that you will not retrieve yourself in the last one. I really do!
Image Sours: Smelling Smoke Spiritual Meaning
A sign for a diseased relative - If you feel the smoke of cigar and cigarettes, it might be a sign form a diseased relative who was smoking when he was alive. When that person was alive, you associated him/her with the smell of smoke. And the best way to trigger a memory of that person is the smell of smoke.
So next time you feel the smell of smoke, pay attention to who comes first in your mind. Then you can say a prayer for the diseased soul and peace. It depends on your religion and beliefs.
You might be gifted - Smelling smoke and other fragrances without a source might be a clear sign that you are gifted. There is a spiritual gift of clear-olfaction. If you are not sure if you have this gift, then there are some ways to make sure. For example, did you ever feel the fragrance of flowers without a physical source? This fragrance is a sign from heaven and the angels.
The demons are near - the last one (I know that you couldn't wait to find it out!) refers to the Smoke of Hell. It is believed that between our physical world and hell there is a wall. And this wall can become thinner in some places. Usually in places where a tragedy (or more!) happened. These places are known as Poltergeist in the paranormal community. The difference between this smoke and the other two above is, that it is really unpleasant. And often, people feel the smell of burning flash where the wall is too thin.
So next time, pay attention when you are feeling the smell of smoke. It might be a sign!
I am looking forward for your comments and thoughts!
