How To Use Smudge Sticks
To burn a smudge stick, simply light one end with a match, lighter, or candle.
You may need to hold the bundle in the flame for a few seconds for it to catch. Once you see flame, wave the smudge stick or gently blow the flame out.
As smoke wafts from the lit end of the stick, wave it around a space, or over/under an object that you want to purify or charge. Direct the smoke into corners or areas of "stagnant" energy with your hand or special item like a favorite feather.
Relight the smudge stick if needed.
Be sure to have a heat-resistant container nearby when I use smudge sticks. A heat proof metal vessel or large shell filled with sand is ideal.
