Native Americans consider white sage a sacred plant. They use it during rituals of purification & protection, and during religious ceremonies, deaths and births. The tradition says that its smoke purifies the atmosphere and drives out the negative waves, thus raising the vibratory rate of the houses and their inhabitants. A fumigation, according to tradition, chases away evil spirits and offers us well-being and protection. The first time you perform a fumigation ritual, we advise you to pass the White Sage torch throughout your home and/or workplace, room after room. Take a bowl (or ideally an abalone shell) with you to collect the ashes, light the end of the bundle, shake it lightly so there is no flame, only mild smoke, and fumigate. Do not forget the corners, under the table, the water features etc. Perform this ritual with the windows closed, let the smoke act for a few hours, then ventilate thoroughly. Once your home has been purified, burn white sage regularly, especially after an unwanted visit, a family dispute, an unpleasant phone call, etc. The tradition also suggests performing a “sage shower” on you to purify your aura. Light the sage torch as for the fumigation of dwellings, and gently pass it from your shoes to the top of your head, to sweep your whole aura, about 30 cm away from your body. Similarly, when you bring a new object into your home, tradition suggests giving it a “sage shower” before using it, to purify it. Precaution for use: do not use in the presence of young children, people with asthma or suffering from pulmonary pathologies that the smoke could inconvenience. Take the same precautions as with a candle for the fire. After fumigation, leave the white sage torch to rest under supervision on a support that is not at risk of igniting. The packaging.
