You can burn sage when you move into a new home, or when you feel the need to banish negative thoughts! Give yourself a new lease of life by spiritually purifying your living space. It's a good idea to take your time and perform a ritual, for example as follows: go round the rooms concerned or the whole place (home, studio, office), visiting each room from the right. In each room, set your intention and repeat it, possibly adding a prayer of purification.

In contrast to other types of sage, white sage is considered to have a rather "masculine" energy. The Amerindian peoples use it in shamanic rituals because its fumigation is reputed in these traditions to spiritually purify the participants and the ritual objects, to bless, spiritually purify and heal. According to these beliefs, it chases away evil spirits, negative thoughts and psychological disorders. All this has to be seen in the context of these traditions, of course, and each person will have to decide how to use sage.

This sage from Encens du Monde comes from California, USA.

Instructions for use
Light the sprig or stick of sage with a lighter or match. Once the tip is well ignited, blow gently on the flame to extinguish it while keeping the fumigation active.

Place the sage in a heat-resistant dish - the shamanic tradition uses an abalone shell for various energetic and lithotherapeutic purposes, but in our regions we prefer a more local natural object, such as a flat stone or slate slab. If you hold it in your hand, be sure to hold a container underneath with your other hand.

To extinguish it, place the sage braid in a container of fine sand. Or run it just a little under water. We advise you to use the stick sparingly, and in batches. And open a window or ventilate after the ritual.

As for the branch, the best thing is to let it burn completely.
