White Cedar Smudging :
These silvery green needle-like ‘leaves’, are from some of the oldest species of tree to inhabit our Earth. These evergreen trees have been traced back millions of years, before the Mezoic era and are known as living fossils of the ancient world.
This genus of Incense Cedar is related to Thuja, grown in North America. They have been collected and bundled by hand.
Aromatic branches of White Cedar are often used in Sweat Lodges, to attract positive energies and wash away lower energy forms.
Not as heady as white sage, rather the scent of Cedar is more woody, evergreen and softly aromatic. The healing white smoke, to me, is a powerful cleanser of emotions - when they become too overwhelming to comprehend with rationality.
Lighting a smudge and washing the crown of your head with the billowing smoke, is soothing for the Soul. Allowing evergreen, woody, stability, to wrap around your torso, a tender embrace from Nature.
In these unsettling transitional times we face, such spiritual tools have become a necessary tonic to balance, when all words and human support systems fail.
