Smudge Bundle – White Sage & Garden Rue 10 cm
This handcrafted 10 cm smudge bundle combines two traditionally revered ritual plants into one compact package. White sage (Salvia apiana) is one of the most widely recognised cleansing herbs in North American indigenous traditions, while garden rue (Ruta graveolens) has long been used in European and Mediterranean folk practices for protection and energetic balance. Together they produce a deep, spicy-resinous smoke that makes the transformation of a space almost tangible during a smudging ceremony.

Scent Profile
The characteristic, mildly mentholated base of white sage is complemented by the more pronounced, slightly citrusy-resinous notes of garden rue. The complex aroma unfolds gradually during burning and lingers pleasantly in the room.
How to Use
Place the bundle in a heat-resistant dish or abalone shell. Light the tip, then blow out the flame after a few seconds so it only smoulders. Move the bundle in circular motions around the space you wish to cleanse, keeping your intention focused on the process. Open a window to complete the ceremony. Never leave unattended.
Why Choose This?
The combination of white sage and garden rue is a pairing used for centuries in both pre-Columbian ritual traditions and Mediterranean folk practices. This compact bundle is ideal for energetically refreshing smaller spaces or for on-the-go ceremonies. Its natural ingredients and handmade construction ensure an authentic experience.
Tips
- Burn in a well-ventilated room and keep a window open to allow stale energies to leave.
- In a small space, lighting even half the bundle may be sufficient.
- After use, extinguish carefully by pressing the smouldering end against a heat-resistant surface and verify it is fully out.
