Cedar Smudge Stick Our cedar (Thuja sp.) smudge sticks are a popular practice across several cultures and have been around for thousands of years. Use cedar smudges from the Flying with Air collection to purify and cleanse a home or office space and from negative energy. These are 3.5-4" cedar smudge sticks and may very slightly in width.  What does it do? Burn a cedar smudge stick to drive out negative energy, bring good influences and bless a new home. How does it work? To cleanse a home from airborne bacteria or negative influence you will want to have a door or open window nearby. Cedar naturally has a very clean and earthy scent, and can produce a very powerful aroma. As always for safety, do not leave anything lit unattended in your home.
