Californian White Sage
Californian white sage: Whether for sacred space, a person or your magical tools; endless different herbs, resins incense or candles can be used to cleanse energies (it’s all about the intention). White sage (Salvia Apiana) is a beautiful alternative for when you're not able to use herbs grown from your local land and my personal favourite for boosting protection. It has been used for millennia by indigenous American cultures in ceremony and ritual to help drive away negativity, anger, illness and conflict.
-Over a heat-proof dish, light one end of the sage stick with a strong intention of the energy you want it to clear and what you would like to replace this. (i.e. 'cleanse this space of stagnant negativity and bring protection and clarity'.)
-Blow out the flames and with this same intention repeating in your mind or out loud, allow the smoke to go where it needs to, directing with your hand or a smudging feather for the harder to reach places.
-When you’re done just pop open a window and allow the smoke to leave, taking the old energy with it and allowing the new energy to replace what has been released.
-To make it last even longer, you could unwrap and place in a jar, using the individual leaves whenever needed.
Burn within sight. Keep away from flammables. Keep away from children and pets.
