Smudge veer

Smudge feathers are used with burning sage, sweetgrass, cedar and tobacco, during prayer and cleansing. The smoke is gently fanned around the person to purify the mind, spirit and soul; used in the home it purifies and removes negative energy and brings good positive spirits.

The medicines are used to “wash off” the outside world when one enters cremonial or other sacred space. Used also in healing, the smoke is used to bless, cleanse, and heal the person or object. 

The smudgefeather is used to carry the smoke from an offering, normally sage, sweetgrass, cedar or tobacco to the Creator in thanks for all that has given us.
