As a first book on Native American smudging rituals, I recommend Sage & Smudge: The Ultimate Guide by Diane Ronngren.

Sacred Smoke, however, is an excellent supplemental book, written by, Harvest McCampbell, a Native American herbalist and educator. Sacred Smoke describes more herbs than does Sage & Smudge: The Ultimate Guide and provides additional information scattered throughout the book not covered in Sage & Smudge.
