California White Sage - Mini Smudge 4" (Torch Style)
Burning sustainably sourced California white sage offers several important benefits:
Cleansing and Purification: White sage has been traditionally used by indigenous cultures for smudging ceremonies to cleanse and purify spaces, objects, and individuals. Burning white sage is believed to clear negative energy, promote spiritual purification, and create a sense of sacredness in the environment.
Aromatherapy: The aromatic smoke produced by burning white sage has a distinct, earthy fragrance that can promote relaxation, calmness, and mental clarity. Many people use white sage smoke as a form of aromatherapy to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension, and to create a sense of peace and well-being.
Natural Insect Repellent: The smoke from burning white sage contains compounds that can act as natural insect repellents. Burning white sage can help keep mosquitoes, flies, and other pests away from your home or outdoor space, making it a natural alternative to chemical insect repellents.
Spiritual Practices: White sage is often used in spiritual practices, rituals, and ceremonies to honor ancestors, connect with the divine, and seek guidance and protection from higher powers. Burning white sage can help facilitate meditation, prayer, and other spiritual activities by creating a sacred and tranquil atmosphere.
Environmental Conservation: Sourcing white sage sustainably helps protect this valuable plant species and its natural habitat. By supporting ethical and responsible harvesting practices, you can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the health of ecosystems where white sage grows.

Tips for Smudging
Hold sacredness and respect when connecting with the plant people who help you in this ceremony and when you pray.
Remember and honor your ancestors with good deeds.
Honor the divine by caring for what the Great Spirit has created.
See the divine Mother in everything. Women are the embodiment of Great Spirit’s creation on Earth, thru the gift of birth, so women are holy. We are all from the same womb.
Everything is related to everything; nothing is random.
Caring for creation is everyone’s responsibility.
This will is not religion; this is love.
Clearing Your Body
Smudging is not only for spaces; it’s also for clearing your body, mind, and spirit of any negativity, stagnation, or energetic disturbances within or surrounding you. As part of the ritual, make sure to invite the sacred smoke around your body from head to toe and front to back to help set your intentions before smudging your space.
A Smudging Prayer
May your hands be cleansed, that they create beautiful things.
May your feet be cleansed, that they might take you where you most need to be.
May your heart be cleansed, that you might hear its messages clearly.
May your throat be cleansed, that you might speak rightly when words are needed.
May your eyes be cleansed, that you might see the signs and wonders of the world.
May this person and space be washed clean by the smoke of these fragrant plants.
And may that same smoke carry our prayers, spiraling, to the heavens.
