Smudge Sticks: 5 items from £6.00 to £12.80. Burning bundles of sacred herbs is rooted in the ceremonies of Indigenous peoples of the Americas; we encourage learning those origins respectfully.
How to choose smudge sticks
- Smaller (10cm) bundles suit occasional use; larger bundles last longer.
- White sage is the classic; mixed bundles add lavender, rue or other herbs.
- Always keep a heat-proof dish nearby.
Using and caring for them
- Light the tip, let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame.
- Hold a heat-proof dish or abalone shell underneath to catch embers.
- Walk the smoke around the space and open a window.
- Extinguish fully by pressing into sand or a dish; never leave it smouldering.
- Keep it dry and in its wrapper until use.
- Relight the same stick several times; it usually lasts for many sessions.
