Sacred Smoke, Every Day
I carry the Escential Essences line from Auric Blends because the sticks are made in the USA and the line covers many scents that suit a daily practice. Palo Santo, Bursera graveolens, is a resinous wood from South America long used in Andean and Amazonian traditions for purification, spiritual protection, and uplifting heavy energy. The scent is warm, woody, and faintly citrusy with a sweet resinous depth that’s easy to recognize once you’ve encountered it.
These sticks don’t contain actual palo santo wood. They’re fragrance incense sticks, crafted to carry that same warm, sacred scent profile in a convenient, consistent form. If you want the wood itself, I carry actual palo santo products separately. What these sticks offer is something different: a steady, approachable way to work with the scent every day without breaking a bundle of wood each time.
A bulk pack this size, 95-100 sticks, is a practical choice if you’re burning incense regularly. Yoga studios, energy practitioners, and anyone who smudges their space several times a week will find this format far more useful than a small box. You get the same scent, the same ritual intention, and enough sticks to last. Browse my bulk stick incense collection if you’d like to see other bulk options alongside this one.
How to Use Palo Santo Incense Sticks
Use these steps to burn Palo Santo incense sticks for space clearing, ritual, or meditation.
- Set up your burner and light the stick
Place a stick-style incense holder on a heat-safe surface. Light the tip of the stick, let it flame for a few seconds, then gently blow it out. A glowing ember should remain at the tip, and the smoke will follow.
- Set your intention before the smoke rises
As the smoke begins to curl upward, take a breath and name what you are clearing or calling in. Purification, calm, protection, or simply a fresh start, any intention you hold out loud or silently works.
- Move through your space or sit with the smoke
Walk the smoke through each room, paying close attention to corners and doorways, or sit quietly and breathe alongside it during meditation. Let the stick burn fully in the holder when you are finished.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock the Escential Essences line because the sticks are easy to burn in any standard holder. The Palo Santo scent in this line is woody and slightly sweet. It doesn’t smell synthetic or flat. The warm, resinous quality reads true to the scent profile people are looking for when they reach for palo santo.
One practical note: these sticks need a proper stick holder to burn safely. Don’t rest them across a dish without support. The ash drops as the stick burns and you’ll want a holder with a channel or a catch tray beneath. A standard ash catcher works perfectly and keeps your space clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, these are fragrance incense sticks by Auric Blends, not actual palo santo wood. They capture the scent, warm, woody, and lightly citrusy, without requiring the wood itself. I carry actual palo santo wood separately.
You need a standard stick-style incense holder, the kind with a narrow channel or hole that holds the stick upright at an angle. Ash catchers and flat wooden holders both work well for sticks this size.

Yes, palo santo fragrance is traditionally linked to purification and clearing stale or heavy energy from a space. Light a stick and move it through the room, focusing on corners, doorways, and areas that feel stuck.
