This set of two unites white sage bundles with cedar. To sage's balsamic smoke, cedar adds a warm, woody scent, creating a deep, soothing and contemplative mood.
Sage and cedar together
The clearing smoke of white sage (Salvia apiana) is loved in Western practice for moving through spaces, people and objects. Cedar has been known in tradition since ancient times as a plant of space-clearing and spiritual protection; it is said to help find calm, quiet thoughts. Together the two plants bring clarity and a warm, grounded depth.
About the smudging tradition
A smudge bundle is an all-natural ceremonial incense, traditionally used in Native American cultures to cleanse spaces, people and objects. Clearing a space with plant smoke is an ancient practice that lives on in many parts of the world today. It now accompanies meditation, quiet moments and the marking of transitions.
How to use it
Light the end of the bundle, then let it smoulder with gentle fanning and guide the smoke towards the space or object. Ventilate well afterwards. Always rest the smouldering bundle in a fireproof bowl or shell, away from children and pets, and never leave it unattended.
Good to know
The set contains two bundles, each about 11 × 3.5 cm, hand-tied from natural materials. Every bundle is unique.
