Cedar Smudge 4″

You will receive one smudge wand approximately 4″ long. String colors may vary.

The woodsy and fresh aroma of Cedar is comforting and protective. Cedar is often used to cleanse a home or apartment when first moving in, inviting unwanted energies to leave peacefully. Cedar smudges can make a good alternative for people who prefer not to use Sage. Along with Rosemary and White Sage, Cedar is one of the most aggressively cleansing smudges you can choose.

In this order you will receive one smudge stick approximately 4″ in length. Thread color may vary.

Ingredients: Cedar (Calocedrus decurrens)

How to Use Smudge Sticks

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 smolder.  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.  (An abalone shell is traditional, but you can use a smudge pot, incense burner, or even a regular ceramic plate, as long as you put something under it.)  Smudge sticks can be extinguished in a dish of sand and re-used many times.  Of course, never leave burning smudges unattended.

Special Note:
These herbs are not food grade and would be consumed at your own risk.  Best uses are for baths, sachets, or burning as to release the spiritual properties of the plant (more commonly referred to as smudging)
