White Sage is used in Native American smudging ceremonies to drive away bad energy, cleanse and purify.
Ways to use a smudge stick:
Light the smudge stick walk in a large circle, stopping at East, South, West and North to create a sacred space for magic within the circle. Light the bundle and walk through the rooms of a home or other building to cleanse, protect or imbue the space with energy.
Sage (Salvia) has been used as a spice and also as a way to improve health in traditional medicine .
