This Collection Includes
A pack of two Mini White Sage Smudge Sticks. Sage is a cleansing and purifying herb and can be used to help break up feelings of negativity. Traditionally, it’s regarded as being able to open people up and bring about the ability to have a greater connection with the sacred world. Its properties make it ideal for use in cleansing and clearing ceremonies of people, places and objects, as well as for meditation or prayer. People wanting to build a closer spiritual connection may also benefit from burning or carrying the herb.
 Palo Santo Wood Sticks ½ oz (also sometimes known as Holy Wood), ethically harvested and fairtrade. These thin Palo Santo Wood Sticks are ideal for use with smudging. Palo Santo is known for its properties to aid in clearing bad energy, providing spiritual protection and bringing good luck. It has been used and revered to by many for hundreds of years for its cleansing, spiritual, healing and medicinal properties, similar to the properties that can be found by using Sage and Cedar. It has a delicate sweet, fresh and woodsy aroma with hints of mint and citrus.
Small Abalone Shell (Sustainably & Ethically Sourced) – A traditional vessel in which herbs and smudges can be burnt. The shell is great for leaning burning sticks in while they are burning and also with the addition of sand or earth can be then used to help extinguish them afterwards. Also loose herbs or the broken ends of smudge sticks can be placed in the shell for burning, again with or without sand or earth.
Cathartes Aura Feather Fan – These feathers are from Turkey Vultures raised in South America. They are natural molted feathers, so no birds are killed for their feathers. Feathers are an excellent way to guide the smoke, it can be used as a sort of ‘psychic brush’ with which you wipe away un-pure energy as if it was dust or cobwebs.
How to Smudge1. Begin by lighting your palo santo or smudge stick over an open flame, using a lighter or a candle. Rotate the stick back and forth, it may take a few seconds for it to catch. Smudge sticks & Palo Santo generally need relighting once they have been lit, sometimes lighting will cause a flame that you’ll need to blow out – but more commonly it will cause the leaves / herbs to smoke a bit and you use this to smudge.
2. Allow the stick to burn for a few seconds, and then blow out the flame. It should continue to smoulder until it eventually goes out on its own, unless it is extinguished first.
3. Keep your abalone shell nearby to catch any ash that falls, wave the stick through the air to release the smoke and to cleanse yourself, other people, your room, or any objects. The feather can be used to help keep the mixture lit, and to waft the smoke in a certain direction.
Once you have finished, if the stick is still smoking simply stub out the end into the abalone shell.
