What is Smudging?

Dream white sage smudge stick; tips
This smudge stick provides a dreamy, spicy scent. You can therefore easily light it in the evening, or use it for cleaning your bedroom, for example. To perform the ritual yourself, you need a lighter or matches and a fireproof dish or (abalone) shell.
