Invite positive energy, peace, and protection into your space with this generous 30-inch sweetgrass braid, a sacred medicine hand-braided with intention and care.
 
Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) is one of the four sacred medicines in many Indigenous traditions. Known to the Lakota as "wacanga," it is a potent symbol of healing, kindness, and connection to the spirit world. Each braid is a unique piece of natural art, made strong by many strands woven together, symbolizing the strength of family and community. When the end is gently smoldered, its smoke purifies thoughts, spaces, and objects, carrying prayers to the Creator and inviting good spirits and positive energies to enter.
Key Features & Benefits
Generous Length: Measuring approximately 30 inches long, this large braid offers ample material for numerous smudging ceremonies, personal rituals, or as a long-lasting, fragrant display in your home.
Authentic Vanilla Scent: The grass is freshly harvested and naturally dried to lock in its characteristic, long-lasting, sweet vanilla-like aroma, which becomes stronger when moistened or burned.
Sacred & Symbolic: The three sections of the braid represent the seven generations behind us, the seven sacred teachings (Love, Humility, Truth, Respect, Honesty, Courage, and Wisdom), and the seven generations to come, embodying holistic wisdom and respect for all life.
Ethically Sourced: Our sweetgrass is sustainably wildharvested by First Nation communities in Canada, ensuring fair wages and preserving the plant for future generations.
Versatile Use: Use it for traditional smudging, as a natural air freshener, tie it to ornaments, or place it on your altar to bring a quiet beauty and ancient tradition to your space.
How to Use
To use for smudging, light one end of the braid and allow the flame to go out so that the tip is a glowing ember producing fragrant smoke. Use your hand or a feather to gently fan the smoke around a space, person, or object to purify and bless. Always place the braid on a heat-safe surface when finished and never leave it unattended while burning.
Bring the spirit of healing and connection into your life with this authentic sweetgrass braid.
