Sage Stick

A sage stick, often used in practices like smudging, is a bundle of dried sage leaves, typically tied together with string. 

Sage sticks are primarily used for cleansing and purification. This can involve clearing negative energy from spaces, objects, or individual spaces.  When burned, sage sticks release a distinct, earthy, and herbal aroma.   

The scent is often described as pungent and slightly medicinal.

• Usage:
  • To use a sage stick, the tip is lit, and the flame is then extinguished, allowing the sage to smolder and produce smoke.  
  • The smoke is then wafted around the space or object being cleansed.
  • It is important to use caution when burning any dried herbs.
    

In essence, a sage stick is a tool used for purification and aromatic purposes, with a long history in various cultural and spiritual traditions.
