Smudging is a sacred ceremony involving the burning of herbs (typically white sage, cedar, or sweetgrass) to purify spaces, objects, and people of negative energy.
Geschichte
Practiced for thousands of years by Indigenous peoples of North America. Each tribe has its own specific smudging traditions and preferred herbs.
