The Spiritual Significance

Smoke cleansing is one of the most widespread practices there is: the smoke of a burning herb is moved through a space or around a person to clear stale energy and reset a room. Sage is the herb most tied to this work in the modern West.

Frankincense brings its own long history. The dried resin of the Boswellia tree has been burned as sacred incense for thousands of years, tied to prayer, elevation, and purification. Wrapped with sage, it makes a cleanse that both clears and consecrates, well suited to preparing a space for focused or sacred work.

How To Use

1. Work in a ventilated room over a heat-safe dish, with no curtains, paper, or anything flammable nearby.
2. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the bundle smolders.
3. Move the smoke through your space or around yourself, focusing on clearing and consecrating as you go.
4. Rest the bundle in a fireproof dish or cauldron between passes, and never leave it burning unattended.
5. Press it out in sand or a dish until the smoke stops, and check it is fully cold before leaving the room.
