Sage (Smudge stick)

White sage (Salvia apiana) is a plant native to high desert ecosystems and grows prevalently in California and in the Mountain West.  For hundreds of years, white sage has been considered a sacred, cleansing, purifying, and protective plant. The leaves of the plant are a whitish-green, and if you rub the fresh leaves between your thumb and forefinger, a refreshing, cleansing scent is released. Native Americans started the tradition of using Sacred Sage to ward off evils spirits and negative energies, and white sage has been used in ceremonies to seek blessings of health and prosperity, banish spirits, encourage protection. Sacred sage can amplify any clearing and protective techniques that you are already using. As a plant, and a living being, sage also has a Spirit. The Spirit of sage is dedicated to offering protection, blessings, and clearing.  Small Bundle is 4" Large Bundle is 9" XL Bundle is 12" Bag - loose leaf white sage (bag measure 2" x 3")
