Beautifully decorated white sage smudging stick, known for its cleansing properties. The stick is tightly bound with string, and adorned with vibrant flowers.  It's not only a tool for cleansing but also a lovely decorative item.
 
How to Use a White Sage Smudging Stick:
 
Preparation: Find a quiet space where you can focus. Gather any additional tools you might need, such as a fireproof bowl or shell to catch ash and a feather or similar item to direct the smoke.
 
Set Intention: Before lighting the sage, take a moment to set your intention for the smudging session. This could be to cleanse your space, promote healing, or invite positivity.
 
Light the Stick: Use a match or lighter to ignite one end of the smudging stick. Allow it to catch fire for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame, letting it smolder and produce smoke.
 
Smudge the space: Hold the stick at a slight angle, allowing the smoke to waft around the area you wish to cleanse. You can use your hand or a feather to direct the smoke. Move in a clockwise direction, which is often seen as a way to invite positive energy.
 
Focus on areas: Pay special attention to corners, windows, and doorways, as these are believed to harbor stagnant energy. You may also choose to smudge yourself or others by gently wafting the smoke around their bodies.  
 
Conclude the session: Once you feel the space has been sufficiently cleansed, extinguish the smudging stick in your fireproof bowl or shell.  Pairs beautifully with our Purple Smudging Bowl, made from soapstone, which has cooling properties and a useful handle, making it easier to conduct your smudging ritual.
 
Reflect: Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on the experience and the intention set at the beginning.
 
Using a decorated white sage smudging stick combines the traditional practice of smudging with a personal touch, enhancing both the ritual and the aesthetic.
