Cedar Smudge Stick Ritual Bundle
Cedar Smudge Stick Ritual Bundle
A fragrant and sustainable alternative to White Sage, I handcraft my cedar smudge sticks with foliage harvested from the California Incense Cedar trees that are native to the forest around my home.
Cedar trees are revered by many cultures around the world and are believed to impart a protective energy when used in rituals like smudging. The aroma of Cedar smoke is woodsy and fresh, less sweet and more resinous than Sage.
This bundle includes:
One 6” Incense Cedar smudge stick
One oak wood Bindrune
One crystal of your choice: Amethyst, Green Opal, or Rose Quartz
One linen pouch for easy storage or gifting
Please read the information below for detailed descriptions of the smudge sticks, Bindrune, and crystals.
Cedar Smudge Stick
Each smudge stick is approx. 6” long and weighs approx. 1 oz. (28 g)
The stick is wrapped with 100% cotton twine and will last through many smudge sessions. If fire causes the twine to come loose, simply wrap the loose ends around a lower part of the smudge stick and tie off into a knot.
Cedar burns a bit slower than Sage, so it’s best to light your smudge stick with a steady flame (a candle works best). After a strong flame develops, blow it out and allow the stick to smolder. You can hold it at the base and walk around the room with it, or place it in a heatproof container and allow it to burn like incense.
When you are complete, gently wet the end of your smudge stick with water to quench any embers and let dry before next use.
Oak wood Bindrune
This bindrune includes these Elder Futhark Runes: Eiwhaz (ᛇ), Berakana (ᛒ) and Gebo (ᚷ)
Eihwaz represents the Yew Tree and symbolizes Enlightenment
Berkana represents the Birch Tree and symbolizes Regeneration
Gebo represents a Gift and symbolizes Balance
When combined, these runes form an energetic symbol that invites the Spirit of Trees to enter your space and impart their gift of healing and wisdom
This bindrune is wood-burned on a piece of Oak, a tree that is sacred in many cultures and symbolic of strength, wisdom, and honor
Your bindrune can be placed in an offering bowl, upon an alter, or in any space where its energy is desired. It can also be infused with a wish or intention and ritually burned or buried to release its energy back into the world.
Crystals
At checkout, you will be asked to choose one of the three available crystals:
Amethyst is a stone of Connection. It is known to amplify intuition and increase spiritual connectedness. Long considered a crystal with a direct connection to Divine Energy, Amethyst enriches relationships of all kinds and opens the mind to creative flow. It is a stimulating talisman for all endeavors which strengthen and expand the interchange between Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Green Opal is a stone of Recovery. It is known to ease the heart and purify intentions. A soft stone with colored veins and many facets, Green Opal has a soothing, gentle energy that supports the heart and aids in the restoration of trust in both self and others. Much like Jade, Green Opal is believed to promote harmony and recovery from mental angst and exhaustion.
Rose Quartz is a stone of Feeling. It is known to amplify positive emotions and increase feelings of love for the self and for others. Directly tied to the Divine Feminine, this crystal swings open to doors to the heart, simultaneously calming the nerves and strengthening empathy. It is a perfect stone for any situation that calls for emotional healing or recovery.
