How to Make Your Own Sage Bundle Sticks!

Today we are making (inexpensive) sage bundle sticks! You can use your sage from your garden and whatever herbs you have as well! With that and some thin cotton string and scissors, you have all the tools to create your own cleansing tool!
To dry, put your sage stick in a dry and sunny location (or even the laundry room) to help it dry out quicker.
Everyone has their own way of doing this, this is just my own personal way. I am not an expert, I just like sharing.

I use Garden Sage in this video. White Sage is over harvested and is used in closed practices. Smudging is a closed practice, however, smoke cleansing is not. When I filmed this, I didn't do enough research about all of this and I sincerely apologize. These bundles/sticks I have made in this video are all herbs from my personal garden and are what I use to smoke cleanse.

[@kindspiritualbeing5987]

Namaste Wicked Moonlight, thank you for this lovely video, can't believe I've not done this yet. This is one thing I've learned about my spiritual journey is the simple things that the universe throws at you are all that really matters. ❤️🙏

[@Kay-ee9vn]

Could I get the fresh sage and stuff from say a supermarket produce section and dry it the same if I can't find a plant to use?

[@missysoaps7509]

Is colored embroidery thread ok to burn. Thanks for the instructions !!

[@intuitivecancer]

@@missysoaps7509 just beware of a fire as always but even more with colored bundling thread make sure it's cotton based because of the extra chemicals

[@TheHolyRolle]

I don't really understand the problem with growing your own white sage personally, but I never really have except when I get it from an indigenous seller.

[@coreycovington4808]

did a small test bundle with bay and eucalyptus leaves and the result was a calm.

[@WickedMoonlight1]

awesome!

[@harty5485]

Be careful burning eucalyptus leaves! They tend to burn hot and fast and to crack. I often use them as firestarters for this, so be careful!

[@sophiamarie6939]

I always burn sage but my mom thinks I’m smoking at home🥺 I don’t know what to do now because I would NEVER smoke...

[@sagelough7932]

@@sophiamarie6939 i would show her your smudging stick , everything is gonna be alright babes

[@Elc0chin0]

Something I learned about tying my sticks is to use a wet paper towel, the make a size is perfect. Just wet it and roll up your herbs tightly as if you're rolling a doobie. Let it sit over night to dry and when you come back, the roll will be perfect and all you have to do is tie it up. I use a lot of different things in my smudge sticks. Fig bark is great and so are the leaves. Mexican sycamore has a wonderful smell from the leaves. When it is this time of year they are really nice and flexible so don't dry them first. They make a perfect way to roll up your herbs. Sage, thyme, basil are all good but check with other fragrances in the wild and test them first before burning. Some people say that mint burns with a bad smell I don't know that for sure but I'm testing.

[@LyzeeMusic]

I tried oregano just now and it smelt awful.. so agreed.

[@aliciajasondodd]

Awesome tip thank you so glad I saw this comment that’s perfect sense to roll tight in wet paper towel

[@sarahallegra6239]

That’s a great idea!! Seems like a thin towel ought to work as well, right? As long as I didn’t make it to wet with too many layers?

[@cindys.w.8566]

This spring when I can get an herb garden going, I want to make "Scarborough Fair" bundles. Can't wait to try them.

[@fairytypesvalerie7313]

Thank you for this tutorial! However I’m glad you used kitchen sage as white sage is very sacred to Indigenous peoples and it is going endangered because of our excessive usage of it!

[@kaelaoglesby6002]

Hello! Do you know if burning cedar is only for indigenous people as well? I want to make some but I don’t want to offend anyone.

[@fairytypesvalerie7313]

Kaela Oglesby I am not Indigenous myself, but as far as I know its solely white sage and palo santo!

[@JohnSmith-fq7hj]

@@kaelaoglesby6002 lol dude if somone pretends to be offended because you want to do something in prayer of nature then you shouldnt be worried about what they think to begin with. Theres nothing wrong with incorporating what other cultures did or do in your own life. nature is for all humans not for certain humans

[@flowerdiva18]

Kaela Oglesby hmmmm. We burn cedar all the time! And we are European. Since when do only native North American people get to burn cedar? That’s slightly funny!

[@ninabriscoe8081]

flowerdiva18 smudging is a sacred native practice that was created and used by indigenous people. wether you think it’s offensive or not doesn’t matter if someone who’s actually PART of the culture says so. just because you choose to do something that’s offensive anyway doesn’t mean it’s suddenly not offensive

My dad made a herb stone circle garden with a load of sage. I've always wanted to try making some sage smudging sticks. I've considered adding in some local mint too. (it only grows here on our farm, everyone who's tried grit elsewhere has not succeeded, but it makes wonderful mint tea, so I'm happy to have it!) Thanks for the video. I'll be suggesting that me and my girlfriend make these via our Sunday video dates after being separated by covid for the last 14 weeks, this'll be a fun and useful craft to do. Thank you, stay safe

[@sarahallegra6239]

Thank you so much, this is so helpful! I started growing several herbs in my garden recently, including sage for this exact purpose :) I also have some rosemary, that seems like I would make a heavenly smell! Also, I appreciate you mentioning in the comments the issues about using white sage. I know not everyone is responding well to it, but I think it’s worth knowing. One of my good friends is fully Native American and there’s such a collective wound for her people that for decades, they were persecuted for burning sage and other beliefs and traditions of her people’s, but now that it’s trendy, it’s getting dangerously close to extinction from over-harvesting. I didn’t know about it until recently too, but that’s part of what inspired me to plant sage of my own! It’s just culinary sage, but I still feel better about using stuff that I’ve grown. You can just saturate it in intention from the moment you get it! :)

I was lucky to find a small planter of white sage in the herb section in the grocery store of all places. Planned it in my garden in the spring and it grew like crazy and spread everywhere. Also with my mint which are all perennial and a huge section of just lavender. I did my first bundle yesterday the first one I was fumbling with the string but after that it was a breeze I made four beautiful bundles with lavender and the white sage. The only twine I could find with very thin burlap twine I'm wondering how that's going to turn out burning it. I have it hanging up to dry I'm wondering how long it takes to completely dry out and will the bundles become smaller after dried. I had such a good time doing it, they were made with love. 🌱♥️💚
