Spiritualism, Purification, Healing, Strength, Prosperity, Mental Clarity

This is the most sacred herb of many Native American tribes, a highly religious herb used for purification, consecration and healing.

To burn sage in any space (or "smudge" as the Native Americans call it) clears the air of all negativity and bad spirits, as well as raising the spiritual vibration. This is the perfect first step before performing more serious rituals or ceremonial magick. It is also good practice to cense or smudge yourself and any others who will be joining you in your rites. In fact, it is good practice to smudge yourself daily with the healing and purifying smoke of Sage. Simply take a prepared smudge bundle (or make your own by taking a bunch of White Sage and wrapping it tightly with string, tying the string after each wrap around so that it does not all unwind as the string burns down), light the end of the Sage for a moment, then blow it out and move the smoke up and down the length of your body, front and back. This only takes a moment but will surround you with a protective and healing shield throughout your day. It will also bring you mental clarity and focus, encourage prosperity and give you confidence and wisdom.

You can further enhance the effects of mental clarity by taking a daily White Sage tonic (1 tsp. herb per cup of water, steep 3 minutes.) Sip slowly, inhaling the steam, while you clear the cobwebs from your mind. Drink the tea without sweetening it and concentrate on removing any negativity from your life, or sweeten the tea and concentrate more on strengthening the positive aspects of your life.
