Celebrating the new moon with a new incense blend. ‘Sacred Circle’ is a botanical incense handcrafted from four sacred herbs of North America; Sage, Cedar, Sweetgrass and To***co. A powerful blend for ceremonies to promote purification, protection, healing and gratitude. In many stories, these four herbs are all siblings, each with a unique voice, that work together to keep the sacred balance between humans, nature, and Spirit.
Prepare your self and your space for sacred connection with this potent incense. Purify your whole being and clear away all that does not serve you with Sage. Cedar, a powerful guardian tree, offers grounding and a shield of protection. Invoke blessings, love and good spirits with the sweet smoke of Sweetgrass. Offer your gratitude and prayers with the smoke of To***co, the bridge between heaven and earth.
SAGE
White sage carries a profound spiritual presence, deeply revered for its cleansing, protective, and sacred qualities. It has long been used in spiritual and shamanic traditions for its ability to purify, uplift, and realign energy. White sage is considered a powerful energy purifier, clearing stagnant, heavy, or negative vibrations from people, spaces, and objects. Many Native American tribes have long used white sage in purification rituals, prayer ceremonies, and healing practices.
CEDAR
Among the Cherokee and other nations, it is said that Cedar holds the spirits of ancestors. Some say when you breathe in cedar smoke, you breathe in the breath of your ancestors. Cedar is used for cleansing, grounding and protection. Cedar is protective and is said to call in powerful spirits for safeguarding during ceremony. In some traditions, cedar branches are placed around doorways and it is often placed on fires or used in sweat lodge ceremonies.
SWEETGRASS
In some Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) stories, Sweetgrass was the first plant to grow on Mother Earth and is often called ‘The Hair of Mother Earth’. It’s a plant of blessing, love, kindness, and beauty. Sweetgrass invites in positive energies — joy, healing, good spirits, and harmonious relationships. When Sweetgrass burns, it smells soft, warm, almost like vanilla, a living reminder of sweetness, gratitude, and connection. Usually braided into three strands, to represent mind, body and spirit and symbolising wholeness.
TO***CO
To***co is considered the first medicine by many native traditions, it is seen as a direct bridge between humans and the Spirit World. It is said that when humans were created, they were given To***co to carry their prayers directly to the Creator. The smoke is believed to rise and carry thoughts, wishes, gratitude, and healing up to the Creator and to the ancestors. Traditionally To***co is offered before prayer, before harvesting plants, before important meetings as an act of respect and right relationship with all beings.
This incense is available in 30g jars. Each jar is made to order and comes with a roll of 10 charcoals to burn the incense powder on.
