Fenix Incense Sticks – White Sage

What is White Sage?

The use of White Sage in sacred rituals of cleansing and warding off negative spirits has been a common practice for several traditional cultures for centuries now. It is still a highly appreciated component by shamans and healers alike, sometimes used as an offering to higher deities, or as means to receive mystic permission to enter certain holy spaces.

The plant itself is native to the California mountains and the northwest region of Mexico, and it still remains to this day an adored key participant in countless ceremonies, baths, weddings, funerals, and smudging rituals.

For the general public that makes use of native sacred medicine, it is a synonym of energetic decontamination and spiritual elevation. As it burns, the smoke of the White Sage helps enhance focus, balance and grounding feelings while repelling denser, negative energy from the space in which the ritual takes place.

This herb is frequently referred to as a source of wisdom, as it can help clear the mind and therefore promote clearer insights and broader, more enlightening visions.
