This set of two unites white sage bundles with juniper. To sage's balsamic, clearing smoke, juniper adds a fresh, lightly citrusy note, giving the ritual a lively, refreshing character.
Sage and juniper together
The smoky clearing power of white sage (Salvia apiana) is widely loved in Western practice for moving through spaces, people and objects. The added juniper is known in tradition as a plant for enlivening the spirit and calling up a bright mood, a companion for tuning in to intuition. Together the two plants bring clarity and a lively freshness.
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.
