Lit and gently extinguished, it smoulders and releases aromatic smoke. Arruda (rue) is a protective herb of Brazilian and Mediterranean folk tradition, often kept behind the ear or by the door to ward off the 'evil eye'. The fragrance is green, herbal and sharp. White stands for new beginnings and cleansing, and can stand in for any other colour in candle magic. Styling: white is the most versatile finish, fitting minimal, Scandi and bohemian rooms alike. At around 10cm this is the mid-sized option: big enough to notice on a shelf, small enough for a desk or windowsill. Mid sizes are the most versatile: they hold a bracelet or a handful of tumbles, or sit happily on a bedside table. From the maker: Smudging has long been used to connect to the spiritual realm or enhance intuition. The practice of burning smudging is fairly simple, a seashell or bowl of ceramic, clay dishs, or glass to hold burning sage or capture ash, optional you can use feather or fan for fanning smoke. The Smudge Stick range comes in 7 versions. If White Sage & Ruda 10cm isn't quite right, compare White Sage & Yerba Santa 10cm or Black Sage 15cm or Happy Spirit Sage 10cm. Size: approximately 10cm. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In modern practice smudging is used to clear a space, regularly when moving into a new home or after a difficult day. Rue (ruda) has its own long folk tradition in Latin America and the Mediterranean as a protective herb. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Hold a heat-proof dish or abalone shell underneath to catch embers. - Walk the smoke around the space and open a window. - Storage: keep spares somewhere cool and dark so colours and scents stay fresh. - Ritual idea: write your intention on a slip of paper, read it aloud, then light the candle or incense. - Moon idea: the new moon is the traditional time for beginnings and the full moon for gratitude and release. ## Care - Relight the same stick several times; it usually lasts for many sessions. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
