White Sage (Salvia apiana) is an aromatic plant native to Southern California and surrounding regions, with a long history of ceremonial use among Indigenous peoples of the region.
Traditionally associated with cleansing, purification and protection, White Sage is commonly used today in smoke-cleansing practices to intentionally prepare a space for ritual, meditation or reflection.
Our Californian White Sage is wildcrafted and sourced through suppliers who describe their harvesting practices as sustainable and supportive of natural regeneration.
White Sage Properties
Traditional & Metaphysical Associations: Purification, Cleansing, Protection, Prayer, Sacred Space, Spiritual Preparation, Clarity, Renewal
Rather than viewing White Sage simply as a way to “remove negative energy,” it can be approached as a plant associated with purification, prayer and the intentional creation of sacred space.
Different spiritual traditions understand smoke cleansing in different ways. If White Sage forms part of your personal practice, we encourage working with it intentionally, respectfully and with awareness of its cultural significance.
Sizes
Available in a selection of sizes to suit different spaces and rituals:
- Mini: Approx. 35g
- Small: (out of stock)
- Medium: (out of stock)
- Large: Approx. 130g
As these are natural, hand-bound herb bundles, size, weight, shape and density may vary slightly between individual pieces.
How to Use
Light the end of the White Sage bundle and allow it to catch briefly before gently extinguishing the flame so the leaves continue to smoulder.
Use the smoke as part of your cleansing or ritual practice, then rest or extinguish the bundle in a suitable heat-resistant vessel when finished.
Smudge sticks can be relit for subsequent rituals when properly extinguished and stored between uses.
Safety & Care
Burn herbs in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Always use a suitable heat-resistant vessel to catch falling ash and embers.
Keep burning herbs away from flammable materials, children and pets, and never leave a smouldering bundle unattended. Ensure the bundle is completely extinguished and cool before storing.
Complete Your Ritual
Find a suitable Cauldron or Incense Burner for safely resting and extinguishing your smudge stick.

Herbs, Resins & Wood for Incense & Ritual Use: Safety & Care
Herbs, resins, aromatic woods and ritual incense can be used in different ways. Always follow the instructions provided in the individual product listing and only burn products where burning is an intended use.
When burning herbs, incense or aromatic woods, use in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Always use an appropriate heat-resistant vessel and place it on a stable surface away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials. Where significant heat is generated, particularly when using charcoal, protect the surface underneath with an insulating trivet or tile.
Burning materials, charcoal, ash and incense vessels can become extremely hot. Never touch or move hot charcoal or equipment with bare hands. Use suitable tongs or tools where required.
Never leave burning or smouldering herbs, incense, wood or charcoal unattended. Keep all products and burning materials away from children and pets.
Allow herbs, incense, charcoal, ash and equipment to cool completely before handling, cleaning or disposal. Ensure smudge sticks, aromatic woods and other smouldering materials are fully extinguished before storing.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise on the individual product listing, products in this collection are intended for ritual, aromatic or incense use only and are not intended for ingestion.
