Sage is used like incense; its leaves are burned and will produce a wonderful fragrant smoke.This is an extremely pungent, delicious White Sage from California.  Great for smudging and blessing. Also known as sacred sage, this Perennial shrub has been used for centuries. The name Salvia derives from the Latin 'salveo', which means 'to heal'.White sage is believed to cleanse a space of any evil spirits that may be present. In theory, the smoke attaches itself to negative energy and as the smoke clears it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another space where it will be regenerated into positive energy.Today many people still use the stems and leaves for smudging as part of purification ceremonies.Please visit my store for larger quantities.Thank you~Happy Bidding~ Place a Bid!
