I want some sage to smudge my house. Can someone recommend a source
Things feel off & have for a few weeks.
To be fair it also might be that I had to buy a wheelchair for myself & that stings alot

But yours is a different mission than preparing slow-cooked onions with sage.

(3,165 posts)Mountain Rose Herbs. They source their white sage from a farm where it is sustainably grown. White sage is being over harvested in the wild, so Mountain Rose is a good place to buy from. They have a website, so you can order online. This sage is listed as White sage, cultivated, in the bulk herbs and spices section of the online catalog.
With that said, it's possible to make your own cleansing incense. Crush together a combination of dried herbs: garden sage, lavender, evergreens like cedar, pine, or fir. You can add some dried lemon peel or grapefruit peel, or a few drops of essential oils of citrus. I like to add a bit of crushed frankincense or myrrh resin. This loose incense burns better on incense charcoal .You can find this special charcoal at places that sell incense resins: some natural food stores sell it. The website for Mountain Rose Herbs has everything you need, including bundles of sage and other herbs for clearing your space. It's listed under Aromatherapy, with a sub heading of candles and burnables.
I have found that garden sage can do a good job of space clearing, but I always pair it with cedar, which is one of my favorite plants.
Good luck and bright blessings, whatever you do.

(2,171 posts)about the wheelchair. I have to start using one as well. I've been avoiding it but it's clear it's necessary. Big hugs. I'm grateful to be gifted one.
Good suggestions for sage and incense making.
Do you also place crystals and salt about your house?
Many blessings ❤️

(2,171 posts)I have them around, one on the sill above the bed, above my head, on our coffee table, in my bathroom by the tub, and many in my studio. I cleanse them at times with pink salt. Amethyst crystals help with my dreams.
I love a company called Mystical Wares in La Conner, WA. Their crystal collection is incredible. We visit once a year during the Tulip Festival.

(874 posts)To use in some places. It has been hard to adjust to being that disabled, but I was able to visit some places l, like museums, without pain or fatigue. On the sage side, I have a petty story. I collected some sage on a beautiful day at my brother's place, out west, in the high desert. When I brought some to share at my Midwest drum circle, a member informed me that only white sage was the right thing. I was hurt. So then I started researching how cow manure is used for blessing in some traditions. Of course, I didn't bring any to my drum circle, because my better angels won out over my petulant side. Feel better. Smudge with sage or other herbs or whatever; irisblue is the secret sauce.
