How to use a Smudge Stick

Holding the smudge stick by the “handle” end, use a lighter to ignite the tip. Blow out any open flames so that the leaves slowly smoulder.  Next, wave the smudging wand around a room, person, or objects to direct the fragrant, cleansing smoke.  Catch the ashes in a heat-resistant dish (a regular plate filled with sand is sufficient. Smudge sticks can be extinguished in a dish of sand and re-used many times.  Of course, never leave burning smudges unattended.

We have included a prayer for you should you wish to use it.
