White Sage for Smudging Rituals
White sage is an evergreen perennial that grows in the Southwestern part of the United States and northern Mexico. The oil and resins in the leaves release pleasant fragrance when they are crushed, rubbed or burned. Native Americans in the western U.S. have used this fragrant, commonly found plant as a source of food, to brew tea, and as an herb used in purification ceremonies. It has also been referred to as mugwort, wormwood, or sagewort. White sage has a broad flat leaf, where gray sage has thin leaves that are usually still attached to their stem.
A Quick White Sage Smudging How To:
Loose white sage can be burned in a smudge bowl or a large shell. Abalone shells, Scallop shells or a Ceramic Smudge Bowl hold the burning white sage while a Smudge Feather is used to fan the smoke around a person, object or space that is being healed or cleansed of negative energy.
Recently sprays made with essential oils known as Liquid Smudge are being used as an alternative to burning sage in places where smoke is not appropriate or convenient.
