smudge stick

Ceremonial herb wand

A smudge stick is a bundle of dried herbs—typically white sage—bound together and burned for ritual purification.

The practice draws from Native American traditions, though commercial smudge sticks are now sold widely for spiritual cleansing, meditation, or simply to scent a room: She lit a smudge stick to clear the energy before moving in.
