White Sage Smudge Sticks

A smudge stick is a bundle of dried White Sage leaves, hand-wrapped with cotton twine and lit directly for a ritual clearing practice — you carry the smoke through a space. Incense sticks are a rolled, dipped format meant for ambient daily scent rather than a full smudging ritual. If you're after the traditional clearing ritual, the smudge stick is the right tool; for everyday fragrance, see the wider White Sage collection.

Light the tip at an angle, let it catch, then gently blow it out so it smoulders rather than flames. Hold it over a fireproof bowl or abalone shell and move slowly through the space. Always burn in a ventilated room, never leave it unattended, and extinguish fully in sand or soil when finished.

The 10cm mini stick suits quick or travel-friendly smudging and doesn't need to be used all at once. The larger 22cm stick is better suited to a full-home ritual where you want a longer, uninterrupted session. Both are certified organic and hand-wrapped the same way.

Yes — it isn't necessary to burn the entire stick in one sitting. Extinguish it fully after use, let it dry out completely, and it's ready to relight for your next ritual.
