2  `A T U M incense sticks,

each incense stick measures 11 by 2.5 cm.

Burn time 4 hours in each box.

There are two ways you can light and use our incense sticks. Light one end of the incense stick, making sure the whole end of the incense stick is alight. Let it flame for 30 seconds and then shake vigorously to put out the flame. Alternatively, you can break off a small piece of the incense stick and then follow the same lighting procedure outlined above.

We recommend you have a small vessel filled with sand on hand which will make putting out your incense easy. This will allow you to place the lit end of the incense stick into it when you want to stop it smoking/burning. 

If you collect your sand from the beach please ask for permission and give gratitude to the Earth mother, it is custom to take a small offering. We wish to encourage a relationship of reciprocity and respect with the Earth mother, she is a conscious and sentient being responsible for all our needs, all 8 billion of us!

Our Incense sticks are housed in small drawer box made from paper that has been approved by the Forest Sustainability Council, which means that these trees are ethically grown and harvested for the purpose of packaging. When it is time to dispose of your box, it can be completely recycled and so we encourage you to do so.

Incense sticks can most certainly start a fire and should never be left unattended.

If you light incense in a small room without ventilation, it most certainly can cause fire alarms to be triggered. Incense should always be burned in a well ventilated room.

A smudge stick is a sacred tool made up of herbs. The purpose of the smudge stick is to cleanse and bless people, and or spaces prior to a ceremony or ritual practise.  The tradition is born from first nations cultures the world over. The herbs used to make the smudge stick and the intentions for the ceremony and or ritual may vary slightly from one first nations community to another but the essence of the practise is the same, and is centred around preparing people and spaces mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and energetically to enter ceremony and ritual.

Prior to using your smudge stick take time to centre yourself. You can do this by taking a few deep breaths into the body. As you drop deeper into relaxation and embodiment get clear on your intention for smudging. Once your intention is clear, open you eyes and light your smudge stick. Follow the instructions under how to light incense in FAQ on this page.  

If you are smudging yourself or another person wave the smudge stick around their body starting at the crown of the head and working your way down to the feet. Be careful not to catch clothing, hair or skin.  

If you are smudging a room walk through the room in a clockwise direction, being sure to give special attention to the corners and hard to reach places. Example, under couches. Open all windows in the room you are smudging prior to smudging and close doors if the open door leads to other spaces in the house that you are not smudging.  

When smudging a room, it is also wise to have a small container of salt present to soak up any toxic, harmful and stale energies. Connect with the consciousness of the salt to activate it and be clear that its purpose is to act as a drain for the dense energies to land into.

Ceremonial incense is incense crafted specifically for used in ceremony and ritual. These can include but are not limited to, life transitions and births. The intention and the creation process by which they are midwifed into life is what gives them potency and activation.

The crystal essence capture techniques that have been used to create these products have been taught to me by my stone medicine teacher Sarah Thomas. These teachings have been passed down to her by her teacher Jeffery Yuen, an 88th generation Daoist priest of the Jade Purity Lineage. Once the essence is made, it is woven through the essential oil and used throughout the making of the products in this gift box.

We activate the prana of the Sun, both physically and metaphysically using techniques shared by Sharon Bold from Shamanic energy training.
