Do I need to burn the entire smudge stick at once?

No, you do not need to burn it all in one go. You can light the tip for a single ritual and extinguish it once you have finished. The 22.5cm size is designed to be used multiple times over several sessions.

Is it necessary to open windows while smudging?

Yes, it is highly recommended to keep a window or door open. This provides necessary ventilation for the smoke and ensures that the negative energy you are seeking to clear has a way to leave your home.
