Smudge is created with the help of certain dried herbs, including sage, rosemary, thyme, eucalypt, and lavender. Smudging is the ceremony that’s performed when the smoke from these smouldering herbs is brushed around a person or a space with the intention of cleansing them, protecting them, and ridding them of dis-ease. A Smudge Wand is what we call the herbs when they are bound individually or together as a combination when green, and allowed to dry to create a hand held bundle that, when ignited, can be safely handled and directed.
In this mini video workshop, Scott demonstrates how to create rustic Smudge Wands that are easy to make using herbs that can be grown in your own garden or purchased at any greengrocer or supermarket.
