Rosemary Sage Stick 10cm

Stick is approx. 10cm long.

Rosemary is widely used for spiritual cleansing due to its purifying and protective properties. Burning Rosemary is believed to clear negative energies from physical spaces and the human aura, uplifting the spirit and creating a sense of calm. Rosemary sharpens mental clarity and memory, helping to clear mental fog and negative energy. Place rosemary in a sachet near your bed or burn it for psychic protection.

Native Americans use smudging herbs to purify the mind, body and spirit before praying, purifying the atmosphere and dispersing negativity.

Smudging has long been used to connect to the spiritual realm or enhance intuition. For healers and laypeople in traditional cultures, burning herbs is used to achieve a healing state — or to solve or reflect upon spiritual dilemmas.

Smudging may also be used as a ritual tool to rid yourself — or your space — of negativity/unwanted energies. This includes past traumas, bad experiences, or negative energies from others. It can also be used to cleanse objects – for example after purchasing pre-loved goods.

As smudging is classed as a sacred ritual, before you begin you can set the intention that the process clears (the object, space, person etc), cleansed and releases negativity. Always have windows open during smudging so the smoke can clear.

To use a smudge stick:

Light the end of the bundle and also it to burn a little before blowing out the flame. The end of the bundle should be smouldering nicely. Whether you are cleansing yourself, your home or an object, the process is the same. Direct the smoke to the object and allow it to linger for a while. If cleansing a room, walk slowly around the room (some say in a clockwise direction), concentrating on corners, under and behind furniture etc. until you feel satisfied that you have completed the ritual – just trust your intuition.

You can also place the smudge stick in a fireproof bowl and allow to smoulder, wafting throughout the house/space.

Always ensure you have extinguished your stick completely. This is generally done by rubbing the end in a bowl of sand (I personally take it outdoors and extinguish it on the ground/earth).

Store your stick in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
