White sage incense bundle
From California, the home of salvia apiana

As one of the most popular incense plants, White Sage has a long tradition in shamanic and indigenous cultures of the Americas. It is rightly considered THE incense of all. The term sage is derived from the word 'salvare', which translates to 'heal' and already indicates its health-giving properties. Sage served indigenous tribes along the Pacific coast as a food and medicinal plant. Even today it is used for the relief of colds and respiratory ailments . In addition to its effect on the physical level, it is excellent for ritual use due to its energetic cleansing effect. By exposing yourself to the intense, filling smoke of white sage, inner & outer cleansing processes are triggered. The own aura as well as the physical space are cleansed. Native Californians see the white sage plant as a living being with spirit and soul. Burning the plant was already a way to communicate with the spiritual world and connect with the spirit of the plant and the earth. In the intentional burning, they ask the spirit of the sage to channel its cleansing and protective energy into the room, into their body, into their energy field, and into their own spirit.

On a mental level, White Sage has a clearing effect; it helps you focus on what is important. Its protective, enveloping nature creates a safe space for personal growth and healing. This makes it easier for you to reach higher levels of consciousness and intensify spiritual connections. White Sage is a mood enhancer that brings cheerfulness and lightness to those who celebrate with it.

The evergreen herbaceous plant salvia apiana grows up to one meter tall and develops four to eight centimeters long leaves. These are covered with white hairs, which give the plant its name. White sage belongs to the same genus as conventional sage (salvia officinalis), but stands out for its higher resin content and more intense fragrance.

Unser Weißer Salbei ist im sonnig-goldenen Kalifornien beheimatet – dem Golden State. Dort, wo in den 1960er Jahren Flower-Power und die Hippie-Bewegung ihren Ursprung hatte und sich der Spirit einer Zeitenwende noch heute in Vielfalt, Buntheit und künstlerischer Diversität als auch natürlichem Reichtum ausdrückt.. Grüne Wälder mit gigantischen Mammutbäumen, gewaltige Gebirgszüge, brodelnde Vulkane, extreme Wüsten, weitreichende Küsten mit weißen Sandstränden und Inseln im kühlen Blau des Pazifiks – landschaftlich wie auch klimatisch zeichnet sich der südwestlich gelegene Bundesstaat Kalifornien durch unermessliche Vielfalt aus. Als wahres Sonnenkind präferiert Weißer Salbei die trocken-warmen Hügel-Regionen entlang der gesamten Küste des Landes. Die nativen Einwohner sind vertraut mit den heiligen Stätten, in denen es sich der Weiße Salbei gemütlich eingerichtet hat. Alle begegnen ihm hier mit großer Dankbarkeit, Wertschätzung und Fürsorge. Das spürt man beim Räuchern.

The leaves of our White Sage incense bundles are gently collected by the descendants of the native people of California in the mountains and coastal regions, dried and then hand-bundled with great care.

The idea of sustainability has always been a mainstay in the life and worldview of Native Americans.

The natural cultivation, the traditional and original processing as well as the high product quality have convinced us to consciously include these sage sticks in our selected assortment Its effect should also inspire you and your ceremony.

To make use of the healing properties of sage, the tip of the Smudge Stick is lit. When some of the leaf ends are inflamed, the fire is carefully blown out so that the stick only glows. For optimal smoke development and its targeted distribution, a feather or similar object is helpful to add air to the stick. To keep the embers moving along the leaf stalk, you should blow gently on the tips. Since small, glowing particles always come loose during smoking and fall down, you should always carry a fireproof or sand-filled bowl under the stick. The incense can be moved freely in the room as desired. For example, physical outlines can be drawn, or ritual drinks bathed in a cloud of smoke. The powerful smoke development of white sage makes it possible to decorate the air with beautiful patterns - there are no limits to your creativity! It is especially exciting to keep an eye on the movement of the smoke, as it reflects the energies of the room. While at higher energetic frequencies the smoke moves freely and almost dances, at lower vibrations it swirls around restlessly or even disappears. In this case, special attention should be paid to those places. If the White Sage is used for spatial cleansing, it is advisable to ventilate well after the ritual to let go of the old and create space for the new. Wake up beautiful Sun Child.
