Abalone smudging bowl

Abalone shells, like most trinkets from Mother Nature, are multi-faceted. They are shaped like bowls, which makes them perfect for catching cinders that might fall from your burning sage. But that is not the only reason why they are used for smudging. After holding these shells, the colours will illuminate the beautiful heart colours of the ocean. This is one of the oldest traditions. It has been practiced for centuries with great results. People have been burning herbs since humans discovered fire. Humans have also burned wood and roots with the aim of purification. Smudging, in simple terms, is the act of eradicating negative or stagnant energy so that light, love, and positive energy can replace it.
