Decor - Smudging

Smudging is thought to cleanse the soul and remove negativity.

There are different rituals used when smudging, so it is best to find the right one for your needs. Ensure you use a fire proof container, perhaps with some sand in it for an insulator. An abolone shell is a popular choice. Simply light tip or leaves, blow out flame and waft the smoke. Extinguish in sand.

The most herb used for smudging is probably wide sage. It is associated with purity and has a strong and heavy presence. It's definitely useful for when you need a major space cleansing.
