A Magical Combination for Calm

White sage and sweetgrass are each used separately in the world of incense, yet it is only when these two gifts of nature are brought together that we can truly experience the wonder of both at once.

White sage and sweetgrass are two of the four sacred plants used by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas for ritual purposes. White sage was used to cleanse spaces and people, while sweetgrass is intended for communication with Nature and energetic connection with the higher realm.

Sweetgrass is braided into a braid said to represent the sacred hair of Mother Nature. Its sweet scent reminds us of the tenderness, love, and kindness that Nature and the universe hold for all people. When sweetgrass is burned, it releases a sweet and profoundly calming fragrance that soothes even the most restless spirit.

Sweetgrass combined with white sage cleanses the space and calls good energy to enter our lives. An experience you truly need to have — and one to return to regularly, for a life well lived.

Product Properties

• Organic sage and sweetgrass, sustainably grown in California.
• The bundle measures approximately 11 cm in length.

Instructions for Use

We gently and slowly light the bundle over a flame. We recommend lighting it over the flame of a candle. Direct lighting with a lighter is not recommended, as it introduces unpleasant odours into the process. We want the lighting process to feel natural, just as it was done thousands of years ago.

When lighting the bundle for the first time, we let a small flame form. It is important not to blow the flame out. The Indigenous peoples of the Americas believe that by blowing out the flame, you release and extinguish your own soul from your body. Instead, we turn the white sage and sweetgrass vertically upward (so the flame is at the top), where it will naturally go out on its own and begin releasing a pleasant, deeply relaxing scent.

If the flame does not go out on its own, we wave it gently through the air to extinguish it with the breeze.

Space Cleansing

With the smouldering bundle, we walk through the space and make slow, circular movements as we go. This extends the smouldering.

We recommend holding a small bowl beneath the smouldering bundle with your other hand to catch any falling embers and prevent damage to objects in your space.

If we want to cleanse the space of negative energy and protect it from further intrusions of unwanted energies, we carry the incense through every corner of the space and gently wrap the room in smoke. We make sure not to forget the corners of the space, where negative energy tends to particularly love to gather. We then place the white sage and sweetgrass in a fireproof bowl and allow it to go out on its own.

Not to worry — the incense will not burn all the way down, and you will be able to use it many more times.

Unforgettable Relief in Difficult Moments

We light the white sage and sweetgrass bundle every time a difficult period arrives in our lives. Every time we feel that negativity refuses to leave us. Every time we sense a restless spirit within. When we light this incense, we drive away all unwanted negative energy and allow our soul to fully release and surrender to the universe and to Nature. May they carry us to where we are meant to be.
