The berries, leaves, and bark of the Rocky Mountain Juniper all carry a very strong scent. The juniper has been traditionally used as a ward against negativity. In ancient Greek cosmology, the spirit of Artemis (along with the healing powers she possesses) inhabits the Juniper. Purify any room with the medicinal properties of this sachet.

Smudges are an all-natural ceremonial incense traditionally burned in Native American rituals such as sweat lodges. Increasingly, doctors, therapists, and body workers are discovering the beneficial aspects of these herbs. Smudge Bundles are one of the means by which people around the globe are reconnecting with the power of Mother Earth.

A smudge stick is a bundle of dried herbs, usually bound with string into a small bundle. The herbs are later burned as part of a ritual or ceremony. Plants that are often used include sage and cedar. Using scent and scented smoke in religious rites is an element common to many religions and cultures worldwide.

Traditionally, sage and cedar smoke have been used to clear negative energies or evil spirits from a space. This is done through 'smudging' which means to burn the herbs while the smoke purifies what it touches. Many people smudge themselves, their items, pets, a room or a whole property to clear out the negative energy.

All of the smudge sticks are 100% natural botanicals and hand picked by our Native friends in their local regions. These plants were gathered in a respectful and ecological manner, as our company holds a great deal of respect for our Mother Earth. These bundles were created for tools of ceremony, ritual, and personal empowerment.
