ANCIENT AROMAS by AMERICAN INDIAN HERB CO. embraces the use of "smudging bundles". These are made of a variety of traditional sacred aromatic herbs gathered, bundled and tied by Native Americans in the mountains and valleys of Baja California, Mexico.
As practiced by generations of these native people, the pointed end of the smudge bundle, while held over a bowl of sand, is ignited. Blowing on the glowing surface will provide the fragrant smoke. Saying a prayer for someone special or in need, while gently "wanding" the bundle around the area, will enhance the enjoyment of this ancient, sacred ritual.
WHITE SAGE - A smudging herb for purification in the Native American tradition. The smoke of this highly aromatic plant is used in ceremonies and rituals as well for cleansing the home and sacred spaces. 1 to 2 inch loose leaves mixed with cut-n-slice. Minimal stems for more leaf by weight than wood, this white sage is perfect for shell/bowl smudging, herbal baths/sachets, ground into powder for spell blends or in the making of your own incense.
ABALONE SHELL - for holding smudge wands, burning loose leaf herbs, incense & resins as well as holding your favorite crystals & small treasures. Sizes vary.$10.95
SWEET GRASS BRAID - $11.95
SAGE SPIRIT (TM) Smudge Wands are made from a combination of Sage, Cedar, Sweetgrass, Lavender and Copal.
Wrapped with 100% cotton string, each wand is considered a sacred herb used for centuries by Native Americans in the smudging ceremony. "Smudging" is the name given to the burning of these sacred herbs for the purpose of cleansing and sending out prayers. Today, people are smudging to receive the benefits known to our Native American brothers and sisters for generations.
