White Sage with Flowers – Incense 20-30g (bundle)

White sage (Salvia apiana) is a plant that is native to the south-west of the United States. Its leaves have a distinctive silvery-white colour. Because of the intense aroma it emits, white sage was spotted hundreds of years ago by Native Americans and held in special veneration. It is the sacred herb of the Navajo Indians, who used dried sage leaves as incense during ceremonies and rituals. They would use the smouldering smoke from the lit leaves to incense the ceremony site, believing that it helped protect against evil entities, ward off spells and charms and heal the body, mind and soul. Indeed, the aromatic, fragrant smoke rising from the burning sage leaves, scented with herbs, sweet vanilla and spices, has a magical effect. It helps to cleanse the space, dismiss toxic energy and relax after a hard day. To use it like incense, simply light a bunch and extinguish the flame when the leaves start to glow.

White sage combined with three flowers of intense colours creates an extremely effective composition for cleansing a space. Blue lupines, white dandelion flowers and red seasonal flowers add elegance and spiritual depth to the incense. Each colour carries a unique message – from love and tenderness to inner harmony and renewal. The entire fragrance exudes a refreshing herbal scent, accompanied by delicate floral and sweet accents. Each element works perfectly together to create an aromatic feast for the senses.

Before you start the smudging ritual with white sage:

1. Stop, relax, unwind. You will feel the magic of white sage fully with a clear and open mind. This is a special moment which will allow you to look deep into your soul, so do not rush the ritual.
2. Approach the white sage ritual with seriousness and respect. It is part of the Indian culture that connected with the spirit of nature through the ritual, thus achieving complete harmony.
3. Think about the intention that will accompany you during the ritual and immerse yourself in the fragrant aroma of the smoke that rises from the white sage. Feel the scent of pure nature and the magic of the American Indians. Purify your soul, mind and surroundings, drive away bad energy and invoke all that is positive.

How to use the white sage incense? Brief instructions:

1. Light one end of the white sage bundle by holding it over the fire source. Wait a few seconds until the incense begins to glow.

3. Cover yourself with the fragrant smoke, directing the incense from toe to head, and then cover the room, objects or people you wish to purify. When the ritual is complete, place the still glowing incense in a safe place, such as a ceramic pot. After a while the white sage bundle will extinguish itself - then you can light it again.
