Question 1

Is this from a native?

Accepted Answer

Smudging is an important ceremonial purifying ritual in many North American Indigenous cultures. The practice has a long and rich history that extends way before white witchy practices brought it onto Instagram feeds near you. Before smudging was popularized, it was illegal — at least, for Indigenous folks. “It was illegal for Natives to practice their religion until 1978 in the U.S., and many were jailed and killed just for keeping our ways alive, including my great-great grandfather,” Ruth Hopkins, a Dakota/Lakota Sioux writer, tells Bustle. Smudging was part of those banned religious practices. Today, Native people are still fighting to be able to perform these ceremonies in hospitals. Smudging, therefore, is not to be taken lightly.

Because of all that history, when non-Native people burn white sage to "smudge" their homes or other spaces, it minimizes the cultural importance of this ritual. Instead, advocates say non-Native people can learn to cleanse their spaces in ways that are culturally and ecologically sensitive.

Question 2

I only received 3 bundles and paid for 6 ??????

Accepted Answer

I received my package full of blessings with 6 bundles in perfect condition.

Question 3

Will this set off my smoke detectors?

Accepted Answer

If you hold the smoking smudge stick (or anything else smoking) right next to the detector, the detector will alarm.  However, just lighting a stick somewhere in a room that has a detector shouldn't be a problem.   I've walked through my house with a lighted smudge stick to "cleanse" the house (smells great) and not set off my detectors.  Enjoy.

Question 4

When I light the sage no smoke jus coming out, what do I do? Help

Accepted Answer

For best results, hold the Sage Bundle at a 45-degree angle and ignite the tip. Let this burn for a few seconds, and if the entire bundle catches fire, blow it out and continue to lightly blow the embers throughout your smudge. This will allow the embers to catch and stay lit. If you do not perform this, it may just go out depending on how much of the bundle is lit. In order to lengthen your burn time, remember gently blow on embers ever so often to keep the embers alive.
