Lay out on a table a half of a single sheet of newspaper.
Cut the herbs of your choice the same length as the shorter length of the paper.
Gather as much as will comfortable fit into the circle made by your thumb and index finger.
Lay the bundle at the bottom edge of the paper. Tightly roll up the herbs in the paper, like a big cigar, put a rubber band on each end.
Store in a warm dry place. After drying, tie your bundle with colorful yarn or cotton crochet string.
Store in a dry location until ready to use.
To Use: Carefully light the end of the stick (over a fireproof plate) with a match as you would incense, and then blow out the flame.
Keep gently blowing on the glowing end to encourage your smudge stick to smoke. Still holding the plate underneath to it to catch the ashes.
Fan the stick back and forth so the smoke drifts over the area that needs a change of energy. When you are finished smudging, put out the smoldering stick by tamping it in a pot of sand or soil.
