Smudging & Clearing Space with Feather Wands
Smudging /Clearing Space
Light your Sage bundle or smudge wand until it begins to smoulder and produce smoke.
Hold the feather wand in your other hand, ensuring you have a firm grip.
Gently waft the feather wand through the smoke produced by the sage, creating a wave-like motion.
As you move the feather wand, visualize the smoke carrying away any negative energy or stagnant vibrations.
Pay particular attention to areas or objects that you feel might benefit from the cleansing, such as your personal space, sacred objects, or corners of a room.
Continue the process until you feel the space has been adequately cleared or until you have smudged the desired areas.
Please exercise caution and ensure that you follow safety guidelines when handling a burning smudge wand.
It’s important to respect and honour the cultural and spiritual significance of smudging practices.
