Cedar Smudge Stick
Calocedrus decurrens
Cedar is one of the oldest protecting plants. Its protection is of gentle but strong nature. Furthermore, it clears our mind, strengthens our intuition, gives confidence and banishes negative thoughts. In Native American tradition cedar is used to carry prayers to the creator. It is used to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.
The Smudge Stick is to be lit over a bowl filled with sand. Blowing lightly onto it as it burns creates a smoke, which purifies the body as well as the environment of home, workplace or healing space. After the smoke ceremony, the Smudge Stick is extinguished in the same bowl of sand and saved for later use. The Smudge Stick contains 100 % natural plants collected in an ecological manner. The plants are not harmed and nothing is destroyed. Before cutting a plant or removing any of its leaves, the plant is asked for its consent. In this way, the Smudge Sticks become a source of powerful energy.
