How to use a sage stick
Beginners guide to sage smudge sticks
◾ Open a few windows and doors to help any smoke and negative energy leave easily.
◾ Light your sage stick over your flameproof bowl until a small flame has caught. While holding your sage over the bowl lightly blow on the flame until it goes out. The sage will then smoke gently like incense. Remember that it’s the smoke that does the work and so the stick does not have to remain lit.
◾ Walk around your home clockwise, carefully Using your hands or a feather to waft the smoke into all areas of your space. Include all small spaces that collect negative energy like corners, windows and behind doors. It’s also good to open cupboards and wardrobes because they can also hold stagnant energy.
◾ Remember that the goal is to allow a light amount of smoke to move around your space there’s no need to create a thick cloud of smoke!
◾ You may need to relight the sage stick to make it around the whole house - simply relight it over your flameproof bowl and lightly blow it out as before. Then carry on where you left off.
◾ There are some who believe the sage stick should be left to smoulder rather than extinguish - this should only be done if you are able to stay with it while it burns. If not then extinguish it by lightly pressing the stick into earth, sand or into your fireproof dish. Never leave a lit sage stick unattended.

This is entirely up to you but it helps to set a clear intention before starting. A simple phrase such as ‘please rid my home of any energy that no longer serves me and my family’, an affirmation or prayer works well. It’s more important to find something that feels meaningful to you rather than look for the ‘right’ thing to say.
A gentle smoulder is absolutely fine, there’s no need to fill the room with smoke. Remember to have a few windows open and if your sage stick stops smouldering during your ritual, simply relight it and start where you left off.
This is a common concern but you have no need to worry. Burning white sage is really no different to following good candle safety - always use a fireproof container, extinguish once finished (using sand, earth or by pressing it into the container) and never leave it unattended.
