It pulls all energies toward it. (Spirits are attracted to it.) In the trinity of the smudging ceremony, Sweetgrass is used to call the energies forth, followed with Sage to clear and cleanse the energies, then finish with Palo Santo to raise vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Bundle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrass: sweetgrass — Hierochloe odorata, braided by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: about 30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights many times — light the tip, let it smoulder, press it out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Smudge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight the very end of the braid and let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it smoulders — sweetgrass burns slowly and smells like vanilla and hay.
