California White Sage

White sage:
Sage has been used for thousands of years as a powerful herbal medicine to enhance mood and purify the environment.
Sage is a sacred element in many rituals, in which people mark the beginning of the ritual by burning sage. Blow its smoke into the space, the holy relics, and smoke those who enter the ritual land for energy cleanup. The person presiding over the ceremony will face the people, sweeping the smoke from the top of the head, body, arms, legs, and feet; the people turn around and are repeated this step. Their cheeks will be brushed with smoke, and the heart will be touched with feathers that have been smoked off. The ceremony will then officially begin.
