Smudge Bundle – Black Sage 15 cm
Black sage (Salvia mellifera) is one of the most prized ceremonial plants of the indigenous cultures of Central America and California. This 15 cm bundle is made from carefully hand-harvested, dried leaves and wrapped with natural cotton twine. Thanks to its longer size, it is excellent for energetically cleansing larger areas and provides sufficient material for longer ceremonies. The scent of black sage is stronger, more spicy, and darker in tone than white sage, and is particularly favoured by those seeking a more intense ritual experience.

Scent Profile
The smoke of black sage is distinctly spicy, mildly bitter, and dark-toned – more intense than white sage but equally natural. Many associate it with deeper energetic work, dream rituals, and powerful space cleansing.
How to Use
Place the bundle in a heat-resistant vessel or abalone shell. Light the end, blow out the flame, and allow it to smoulder. Keep the bundle moving around the space you wish to cleanse, focusing your intention on the process. Finish by ventilating the room. Never leave it burning unattended.
Why Choose This?
The 15 cm size offers an advantage for larger rooms or longer ceremonies: it provides enough material for the complete process at once. The stronger aroma of black sage is especially suited to more intensive space cleansing, or for those seeking a variety that goes “beyond” white sage.
Tips
- For large rooms or intensive energetic refreshing, the 15 cm bundle is clearly preferable to smaller sizes.
- It is advisable to burn it in a well-ventilated room with an open window, as the scent is intense.
- After extinguishing, store upright or in a breathable wrapping in a dry, cool place.
