Smudging is a powerful ancient practice that involves burning herbs to cleanse a space of negative energies. White sage is one of the most well-known herbs used for this purpose, and it is especially effective when blended with dragon's blood resin. This combination is known to cleanse the aura and protect you from negative energy, as well as to increase the magical potency of any other herbs that it is infused with.
To use a smudge stick, carefully light the end with a flame and allow it to burn for a few seconds before blowing out the flame. Then, gently waft the smudge stick through your body and around your space, directing the smoke with your hand or a feather. Keep a dish or a piece of glass nearby to catch the ashes. The incense should emit a fragrant, thick smoke that should last about 15 minutes.
