A compact ritual set pairing a small natural red abalone shell with a bag of Californian Desert Sage.
The petite abalone shell provides a natural vessel for holding the dried herb and catching ash during smoke-cleansing rituals. Its small size makes this set easy to incorporate into a personal altar or ritual space without requiring a larger shell or burner.
Each natural abalone shell has its own distinctive colouring, markings and iridescence, so no two kits will look exactly alike.
Desert Sage Properties
Traditional & Metaphysical Associations: Cleansing, Purification, Protection, Grounding, Strength, Resilience, Wisdom, Spiritual Clarity
Desert Sage is traditionally associated with cleansing, purification and protection. Its metaphysical associations also include grounding, resilience, wisdom and spiritual clarity, making it well suited to rituals centred around releasing what has become stagnant and returning to a clearer, steadier sense of direction.
Includes
-
1 natural red abalone shell: approximately 2.5–3.5 inches
-
1 bag of Californian Desert Sage: approximately 7 x 10cm
How to Use
Place a small amount of Desert Sage into the shell and carefully light the herb. Allow it to catch briefly before extinguishing the flame and allowing the herbs to gently smoulder.
Use the smoke as part of your cleansing, meditation or ritual practice. When finished, ensure all embers are completely extinguished and cool before disposal.
Safety & Care
Abalone shells are natural shells and should not be assumed to be heatproof. Use only a small amount of herb at a time and place the shell on a stable, heat-resistant surface. An insulating trivet or tile underneath is recommended.
Burn herbs in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Keep burning or smouldering herbs away from flammable materials, children and pets, and never leave them unattended.
Allow the shell, ash and remaining herbs to cool completely before handling or cleaning.
Natural Variation
Abalone shells are natural products and will vary in size, colour, shape, markings and iridescence. These variations are part of their natural character and are not considered faults.
