Why Sacred Sage?


WisdomTree Sacred Sage Smudge Cleansing Spray is used for several reasons:

  1. Smoke-Free Alternative: For those who prefer not to burn sage or cannot do so due to smoke sensitivities, allergies, or restrictions in their living spaces (such as dorms, apartments with no-burn policies, or places with young children and pets), a smudge spray provides a way to experience the benefits of sage cleansing without the actual smoke.
  2. Controlled Application: With a spray, you have more control over the amount of scent and cleansing energy you release into the space. You can lightly mist an area for a subtle effect or use more for a stronger cleansing.
  3. Time-Saving: Spraying sage essential oil takes less time than burning sage and waiting for the smoke to fill the room, especially for those with busy schedules.
  4. Scent Preference: Some people may prefer the scent of essential oils over the smoke from burning sage.
  5. Cultural Respect: For individuals who are not part of the indigenous cultures that traditionally use sage smudging, using a spray can be a way to appreciate the practice without appropriating it. It allows for a similar intention and effect without using the sacred plant in a way that might be disrespectful to its traditional uses.
  6. Safety: There's less risk of fire or damage to property when using a spray compared to burning sage. You don't have to worry about embers or ash falling and causing a hazard.
  7. Accessibility: The spray is often more accessible than fresh sage, especially for those who live in areas where sage is not readily available or for those who are not able to go outside to burn it.
  8. Purposeful Blend: The spray may be charged with additional intention and positive energy during its creation, which can enhance the overall cleansing and protective properties.

It's important to note that while smudge sprays are an alternative, they may not be as potent or traditional as burning sage. The effectiveness of these products can also vary depending on the ingredients used and the intention behind their creation. If you are seeking a deep spiritual cleansing, it is recommended to research and understand the traditional methods before opting for a commercial alternative.
