California White Sage (Salvia Apiana)

White sage grows along the California Coast Range. It is one of the strongest incense herbs with a rich aroma and strong smoke.
Due to its wide spectrum of beneficial effects, it has always been considered sacred among the indigenous Americans (Indians). It has a very strong purifying effect on living beings, space and things. The ritual of lighting incense has been present in all cultures since the existence of mankind. With the ritual of lighting white sage and other incenses, we purify the mind, body and spirit. With the help of white sage smoke and a focused personal ritual and prayer, we can purify the negative energy of everything we focus on.
Incenses cleanse, balance and open the way for fresh energy and forces so that our life energy can flow freely like an open river and allow us to move forward. Old and declining energy prevents us from living a fully authentic life.
Lighting incense is a personal ritual and prayer. Always light the incense with a wooden match and not with a lighter. Sage needs enough air to smoke. North Indians use special bird feathers for this purpose. The smoke represents prayers going out into the cosmos. When we smoke with sage, we say our prayer. In Indian ceremonies, they turn to the energies of the four directions of the sky (north, south, east, west) or four powerful guides - animal spirits (white buffalo, coyote, eagle and grizzly), which are also connected to the four elements earth, water, fire , air).

North - the spirit of the white buffalo: grounds, protects, gives knowledge of life and death. It rules the element of earth.
South - the spirit of the coyote: represents a clear and quick mind and rules the emotions and the element of water.
East - spirit of the eagle: represents inspiration, foresight, protection, purification and rules the element of air.
West - the spirit of the grizzly bear: represents energy, strength, determination, purification. rules the element of fire.

We clean energy with incense. The more we 'smoke', the clearer our life will become and the easier it will be to move forward. It is very important that we take care to purify ourselves and our environment. From ancient cultures comes the belief that where sage is used, bad forces cannot enter. To smoke means to purify with the smoke of a certain sacred plant. We can purify the body, spirit, animal, home, office, treatment room or any place or thing in the world. The white sage was harvested with a careful attitude towards the environment. Each roll is hand rolled.
