Smudging with Palo Santo

shamanismfolk magicspiritism

Palo Santo ("Holy Wood") is a sacred South American wood used for purification, clearing negative energy, and inviting blessings. Light the stick, let it burn for 30 seconds, then blow out the flame. The fragrant smoke cleanses spaces and people. Unlike sage (which removes all energy), Palo Santo is said to invite positive energy while dispelling negativity. Always source sustainably from naturally fallen trees.
