Good questions
Does the guide explain the difference between smudging and smoke cleansing?
Yes. It explains that smudging is an Indigenous ceremony practised for thousands of years, while smoke cleansing is not tied to any one culture, so anyone can perform it respectfully.
Does it cover resins as well as sage sticks?
Yes. There are separate steps for burning resin or loose herbs on a charcoal disc, plus profiles of 8 resins including Frankincense, Myrrh, Copal, Benzoin and Dragon's Blood.
