Braided Sweetgrass 18-20' or 24" - Single Braid

INFORMATION

Sweetgrass, or Buffalo Grass (hierochloe odorata) is considered sacred by many First Nation tribes and the vanilla-like scented smoke is said to purify and clear objects, places, and the spirit.

DIRECTIONS

Light the sage  or grass and set the burning leaves onto a non-flammable container (like a traditional abalone shell)

Wave a feather above, to further enhance and fan the smoldering sacred scents into the air, while saying a personal mantra and envision the space being cleansed. 

Open windows and doors and ensure the smoke is waved in all corners of the room. Make sure the smudge stick is put out when complete and do not leave unattended while burning.
