This is a Jumbo Smudge Stick (with roses, a few drops of citrus essential oil, succulent and quartz crystal). Handmade by me.
23cm long.
Flowers will fade and dry out even more.
Smudging your sacred space, your home or office, or even your body with sage is like taking an energetic shower, or doing a deep metaphysical cleansing. The smoke from dried sage actually changes the ionic composition of the air, and can have a direct effect on reducing our stress response.
Light the end so it smoulders. You can burn the rope and roses too so no need to undo it (unless you feel it’s too smoky for you!). I would recommend taking the succulent and crystal out though. Wave the smoke into all corners, across doorways and into shadow spaces. To maintain the atmosphere of ritual, keep repeating good sayings/wishes in your mind as you diffuse the smoke. Once the space is cleared, allow the sage bundle to either burn out or gently press it out in a heat-proof shell or container.
