California White Sage Bundle Smudge Stick Incense 7-8 Inches

I love the smell of sage and I constantly or at least try to burn it once a month. It came packaged in bubble wrap and in one big smudge stick I want to say it was 12 in Long. It burns very well has an nice Smokey Sage smell obviously. My thing is to get longevity out of the product so what I did was I would break off pieces and then put it back into a sealable ziplock bag. And burn the pieces in an ashtray and do the sage in every room. My kids love it they ask me to do it if they have you know nightmares or if they're feeling off about something and I usually will do their room and they'll watch me do it and it's sort of like something in their head they say like oh well you know clearing the space. All parents do it they have a spray bottle with monster repellent spray I use sage and it makes me feel good it makes them feel good my husband thinks it's a bunch of boo hockey but I just love the smell of it. I most definitely will buy this again when I run out because to me it's a necessity more than incense more than candles I just feel better about having it.

Perfect in Every way! Sage is for healingMany who eschew the burning of incenses and herbs as a cleansing method and think that the only purpose in this tradition is to make dwellings smell nice, have perhaps never smelled sage burning. No one who has smelled the distinct acrid tang of burning sage would say that it could only be for ‘aesthetic’ olfactory purposes.The Latin for sage, ‘Salvia,’ stems from the word ‘to heal.’ The other qualities of sage when burned, such as giving wisdom, clarity and increasing spiritual awareness, are also indicated in the name. It’s no accident that we refer to wise people as sagely.The benefits of burning sage can be harnessed very simply by burning sage in your home, office or any other place in need of cleansing.How to burn sage properlySage burning cleansing rituals can be as elaborate or as simple as you want them to be, but it’s of the highest importance that your intention be clear before you begin. If you are burning sage to purify a space, or a person (even yourself) then this needs to be clearly planted in your mind before you the light the sage, and while taking the smoke around a home, or through a space.

Great project

I live in a really humid area of the U.S., so anything that is supposed to burn for a prolonged period of time tends not to do well. I initially got these a few months ago after I was disappointed with some other smudge sticks I had gotten from New Mexico. These have held up really well. I burned the smudge stick about 50% and then put it away, three months later, I go to light it up again, and it burns right away. Really, I can't emphasize how much of a feat that this is in Houston, my paper won't even stand up due to moisture.I really like these as well because they will keep burning and not constantly need to be tended too. The only potential drawback is that it can be a bit hard to put it out, as it keeps smoldering. However, I really recommend, especially if you want to get the sense and feel of filling a space with the smoke itself.

right off the bat when i had opened this package you can smell the sage!The sage is very fresh!it is dried up but not that dried up which is a very good thing! it smelt like it was still alive.some sages i had gotten was not compared this this type of sage because the others smelt like it was really old and was dried way to long. but this sage was amazing! it feels like they did not dry it up for a decade it feels like they only took 2 weeks and then it was shipped!the packaging was very neatly done it was surrounded by green bubble wrap with a thank you stick holding it into place.I WOULD RECOMMEND BUYING!!!

This is a larger than expected, smudge stick, very reasonably priced! Love it! But only 1 drawback. I've used smudge sticks for many years and they are wrapped with twine. As the smudge stick burns, the twine burns and starts to unravel a bit. Not a big deal but I'm having small, 1-2 inch pieces of burning sage leaves falling off the stick. This is the first time it has happened to me. It may just be a fluke thing with this particular stick. I'll eventually buy another and see how that goes. But overall, it does burn well and was much larger than I expected. ~Sophia

Gets the job done

WOW this bundle is huge. I decided to purchase this to cleanse my house. I know that may sound funny to some but at times I seem to feel negative energy when I am at home, it's random and I figure periodically burning sage around the house can't hurt anything. Additionally, earlier in the year I had went to a psychic party and had a reading. During the reading, the medium advised me to cleanse my house, specifically a certain area with sage and gave me some to take home with me. I cleansed my house as advised and don't really know if it did anything but it has been probably close to a year since then.
