California White Sage (Salvia Apiana) 200mm

Bundle of California white sage, approximately 20cm
Ideal for purifying a place or objects.

White Sage or California White Sage (Salvia Apiana) is a perennial plant native to the California desert.

Sacred to Native American peoples, it has always been traditionally used in fumigation during shamanic ceremonies, purification and healing rituals. It owes its name to the Latin "Salvare" meaning to save, to heal...

Its smoke is particularly effective for purifying and energetically clarifying places, its action also extends to people and objects.

It therefore helps to ward off negative energies and thoughts, miasmas and malevolent souls.

Purification can be done when moving into a new home or following unfortunate events in a place and more regularly in high traffic areas such as practitioners' offices, shops, hotels, halls and offices, etc.

Directions for use: You can either directly light the bundle/Smudge (leaf side) or detach a few leaves and light them in a suitable burner (traditionally in an abalone shell).
Then extinguish the flame by fanning it, which allows the embers to consume the leaves and thus produce the saving smoke.
It is then advisable to go around each room completely in a clockwise direction, with a bundle or burner in hand, taking care to diffuse the smoke from bottom to top in corners, nooks, cupboards, wardrobes and other hard-to-reach places.
It is essential, once the fumigation is complete, to open doors and windows to evacuate the thick smoke and everything it contains.
To purify a person or an object, proceed in the same way, diffusing the smoke from bottom to top, from the front and from the back.
Performing a purification in calm and mindfulness is important, one can also at the same time recite a prayer or a mantra to amplify the effects.
The residual ashes will be returned to our mother earth, scattered in nature or placed at the foot of potted plants for city dwellers.
