Most loose herbs can be ignited by applying flame directly to the herbs and blowing on the lit area.  Herbs and Resins may also be lit with the use of a charcoal wafer that is placed in the bottom of your smudge pot.  Once lit, direct the smoke around yourself, another person, or in your place of ceremony by using a fan feather, or your hand.  

Caution:  Lit Herbs should not be left burning, while unattended and care should be used when extinguishing smoldering herbs.
