Together, they are a powerhouse of spiritual cleansing!

Properties and Meaning of White Sage

White Sage is a sacred herb originally used in Native American spiritual traditions which has since been taught to and adopted by people across the world for use in cleansing spaces, items, and people of negative energy. Associated with the removal of malicious entities, dissolving spiritual wounds, and breaking chaotic cycles, White Sage smudge sticks are synonymous with metaphysical protection and purification. For this reason, White Sage is often used in cleansing rituals for the home and during the consecration of spiritual tools. Many also incorporate burning White Sage into their meditative practices, as the herb is known for assisting in the processing and release of emotional wounds, stresses, and negative thoughts. 

Properties and Meaning of Palo Santo

Palo Santo is a sacred wood used for centuries by the Indigenous peoples of South America. The dried wood is rich in natural resin, giving it a distinctive spiced scent. In the modern day, many keep Palo Santo sticks in their home to draw in blessings and ward against evil. The wood is considered to be a mystical cleansing agent, and is thought to intensify spiritual gifts and restoration. In aromatherapy, the scent of Palo Santo is used for easing negativity, as well as cleansing the mind and spirit. Palo Santo incense is thought to assist in opening the mind to hidden wisdoms.

How to Burn Sage & Palo Santo

When burning your smudge stick, always be careful to keep it away from flammable materials, children, or pets. For safety, it is best to rest your Sage bundle in a smudge pot, smudge bowl, Abalone shell, or other fire-proof container while it is lit. Since the White Sage and Palo Santo Stick will likely burn at different rates, it is important to hold your smudge stick carefully when it is not in your smudge pot.

Before lighting your Sage and Palo Santo stick, take a moment to focus your mind on the work you are about to do. This may involve visualizing a cleansing light of renewal, reciting a mantra, affirmation, or prayer, or focusing on the tones of a bell, singing bowl, or your own voice. Each spiritual practitioner's relationship with White Sage or Palo Santo is different and complex. This action should be a personal experience that expresses your intent, be it purification or protection, as well as appreciation for the sacred. As you set your intention, move calmly throughout your home, breathing slowly, opening windows in each room to allow the Sage and Palo Santo smoke to drive out stagnant energies.

When you are centered and prepared, allow the tip of your White Sage and Palo Santo bundle to light to a low flame, before blowing out the fire and allowing the smudge stick to smolder, wafting smoke throughout the space.  If your smudge pot is safe to carry, you can cradle it in your hands with the Sage inside, ushering the smoke throughout the rooms of the home while keeping your spiritual intent in mind.

For Smoke Cleansing crystals or spiritual tools, the items may be passed slowly through the White Sage and Palo Santo smoke while held in your hand above the smudge pot (at a safe distance so as not to incur burns). A sufficiently long smudge stick can also be circled above and around the items you intend to cleanse, or the smoke can be gently wafted over the items using a feather, leaf, or your hands. In all cases, it is important to keep your intention in mind, focusing on the removal of any lingering negativity.

Respect and gratitude should be at the forefront of any handling of White Sage or Palo Santo wood, but your cleansing rituals do not necessarily have to be somber. Dance around the smoke that rises from your smudge pot, raise your voice in a trill of exultation as you reclaim your spiritual space. Hope and joy will assist you in your endeavors.

How to Store Sage & Palo Santo Wood

Sage bundles and Palo Santo sticks are natural, organic plant matter which has been dried, and they will change color over time, as our White Sage & Palo Santo smudge sticks have not been treated with any preservative chemicals. Storing your smudging herbs in a dry, cool environment will prolong its shelf life. If your White Sage and Palo Santo smudge stick has become difficult to light, it may have taken on excess humidity from the surrounding air, but you can dry your smudging bundle out again with sun exposure. Please note: Do not put your Sage or Palo Santo in the microwave!

Sage bundles and Palo Santo sticks can be used multiple times, but burned portions should be carefully trimmed after the embers have completely gone out. Trimming away the sooty edge of your smudge stick can help prevent the material from flaking off during future burns, and the trimmed bits removed from the bundle can be used loose in your smudge pot. 

If the cotton string holding your smudge stick together comes undone or burns away, keep your Sage bundle in the smudge pot until it is completely done burning. Do not attempt to retie your smudge stick while the material is smoldering!

Each spiritual practitioner's relationship with White Sage and Palo Santo is different and complex.
