Smudging in ceremonial magick pertains to the burning of a bundle of herbs in order to purify the area in which magick is performed and/or the tools for a magickal cerimony. This is because the bundle of various herbs is called a smudge.

____________________

The smudging ceremony is also practised by many First Nations (Native American) people. It is designed to ritually cleanse a person or place and to raise prayers to the creator spirit. It is often done as part of a larger ceremony or prayer and can be done before, during and/or after. Traditionally white sage is used though neo-pagans often use common sage. Other herbs can be also used in the mix or as the primary ingredient.

The sage (and other herbs if used) is tied in a tight bundle and is burned at a smoulder to produce as much smoke as possible often over coals.
