Each measures approximately 1" in diameter and 5" long, though some variation in size does exist. Made in the USA.

Smudge Sticks

The burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification is common practice among many religions and spiritual groups such as New Age and Pagan. The term Smudging originated in the Native American culture. Different cultures and people have their own methods and herbal mixtures for this purpose.

The cleansing smoke is used to purify people, ceremonial and ritual space, and ceremonial tools and objects. Sage may also be used to clean crystals before their use and always smudge crystals after their use to remove the negative energy they many have absorbed.

Smudging is one of the most powerful tools that we have available to us. It should be used prior to any spiritual event that we undertake. Meditation, Reiki, Crystal Healing, Tarot Readings should all have smudging prior the their use. Any time we open our self to energy transfer, we must be sure that negative energy is cleared from the area. Smudging, done correctly, can bring physical, spiritual and emotional balance.

Smudging must be treated with respect, do not be wasteful of the smoke and the stick – only a little smoke is needed. If you smudge too often, the power of the ceremony will be reduced.
