DICTIONARY TERMS EXPLAINED

SMUDGING

In a ritual purification, the smudge stick is lit at a flame. After a few moments, the flame is blown out and the herb continues to smolder, releasing quantities of smoke into the air. If a space is to be purified, the smudge stick is carried throughout all parts of the space; if necessary, smoke can be directed into corners with a feather fan. Smudging an object just entails passing the object through the smoke several times. People can be smudged by fanning the smoke over their bodies as they stand.

SAGE

Sage is burned in smudging ceremonies to drive out bad spirits, feelings, or influences, and also to keep bad spirits from entering the area where a ceremony takes place.
