Smudge Sage Small

Sage is one of those fantastic, multi-purpose herbs that everybody (from a witchy mama to a kundalini goddess, that is) should have available. If you don’t need it now, you probably will soon.

Our White Sage comes straight from California and is naturally dried and very good quality! This small version is a bunch of White Sage stalks and leaves tied together that you can use repeatedly.

White Sage (Salvia Apiana) has been used for centuries by the Native Americans as incense used during purification ceremonies and prayers. White Sage is therefore called Indian Frankincense.

The ritual burning of sage or other holy herbs, is done to clear a space or person of negative energies. If your home feels stale or sad, if an argument has taken place and the air still hums with anger, if unpleasant energy lingers after a visitor – these are times to cleanse. One may also smudge one’s self to banish anger, ailment, sadness or illness.

White sage is a strong cleaner. It opens the heart energy.  The burning of sage is also an air, spirit, and mind cleanse. A sage smoke ritual before bedtime stimulates visions and dreams.

How to smoke cleanse in a (nut)shell. White sage is usually burned in an abalone shell. The symbolism is that it unites the 4 elements: the shell represents the water element, the sage represents the earth element, the element is a part smouldering fire, and the smoke is the element air.

Open a window when you do indoor smoking so that the energy can flow away. Once you’ve cleansed a space, and the stagnant energy has been dispelled the space is left with a vacuum. At this point, it’s important to fill the space with the energy of love and white light. You don’t want your space filled with random energy that floats around, right?! You can burn your favourite incense, use an essential oil spray or light up a stick of fragrant Palo Santo and call in your desired energies.

On your merry cleansing way!
