Description
Create a calming atmosphere at home with this lovely combination of white and blue sage. White sage is a classic herb for smudging. In general, this already cleanses the room sufficiently, but in combination with other herbs it can be more beneficial. Here it is enhanced with blue sage.
Differences between white and blue sage
Although white and blue sage come from the same family, they do differ. White sage is more popular and is often used for smudging. It has a recognizable sharp scent with which you can cleanse the space with and attract positive energy. It also has a calming effect.
The blue sage is less common, but it has almost the same effects as the white sage. It also cleanses and protects the space. However, the fragrance is a bit softer and more pleasant than the white sage. This makes it more suitable to cleanse a yoga or meditation room shortly before the session.
Where does 'smudging' come from?
The smudging ritual comes from the Indians. Smudging means that through the use of certain herbs, they make contact with the spiritual world. By making contact with the spirit world, the Indians cleanse themselves and their surroundings from bad energies. The strong smell of sage also ensures that unwanted odors disappear. In addition, the herb is suitable for meditation.
White sage can be burned both as frankincense and in pure, dried form.
Smudging tips
To distribute the smoke from the burning sage better, you can use a feather. At Eastern Trading you will find several beautiful feathers in the range. We also sell smudge bowls and abalone shells, which you can use as a refractory bowl.
