Black Sage (Salvia mellifera) is a powerful herb used in ritual practices for its introspective and dream-enhancing properties. Known to stimulate visions and support inner healing, it’s often burned before bedtime to promote restful sleep, encourage vivid dreams, and is often associated with astral travel. When burned, it releases a sweet, earthy scent that gently aids in shifting awareness to a deeper, meditative state.

Directions
Simply light the end of your smudge stick and blow it out quickly to create a smoldering smoke. This smoke can then be directed around your body and into the space you wish to cleanse by simply waving your hand in front of it or directing it with a feather.
Always make sure the herb bundle has some sort of bowl under it while lit to catch any falling ashes or embers.
Before you begin to cleanse your space, set your mind to your intention. Personally, I smudge my house once a week and my property once a month. My intention is always to push negative energy away from my space.
I feel it's also best to open windows when you smudge to allow any negative energy to leave your home and to ensure you aren't breathing in the smoke directly. You can use a mantra if you'd like. It doesn't need to be said out loud if you aren't comfortable. I've used the same one for years that speaks to me, "Anything negative must go. Only love and light may remain."
I pay special attention to areas where negative energy can coalesce like corners, closets, and under the steps if you have open stairs.
When you're done with your smudging ritual, make sure the bundle is fully extinguished. You can then save the rest of it for next time.
