Wildcrafted Seasonal Saining Stick
A beautifully fragrant and cleansing seasonal combination of meadow, hedgerow, woodland, and home-grown herbs; sticks may include mugwort, ground ivy, sage, white or purple dead nettle, chamomile, water mint, yarrow, meadowsweet, lavender, rosemary, bay, lemon balm, peppermint, spruce, yarrow, with wild clary, daisy, and many more herbs depending on seasonal availability.
Each stick is unique, handmade, made in ceremony, and gathered in reverence and connection with the wild.
These sticks are bound with organic jute twine, a natural string made from plant fibres. Each stick is unique and contains a seasonal selection of wild foraged and homegrown herbs. The size varies due to being handmade but they are usually around 8-12 inches long and 1-2 inches inch thick. They can be used multiple times, as the whole stick does not need to be used each time.

A note on saining, or smoke cleansing;
Saining, or the intentional act of purification with smoke, is an important folk practice which helps us to live in alignment with the proper order of things.
This ancient practice helps to remove negative influences from the object of purification.
To sain an object, being, or space is to awaken it to purpose, to bless and purify it and to make it sacred.
The act of making fire sacred through smoke and saining is an ancient, ordinary and yet ritual practice. Fragrant, cleansing, and medicinal smoke has been used by humans for many thousands of years. The use of smoke, smudging , or saining, as part of everyday ritual is a manifestation of fire energy and its ability to cleanse, clear energetic space, renew, and is made as an offering to the element of fire.

To perform a saining ceremony:
Collect the things you will need, your herb bundle, a lighter or matches, a fire-proof bowl. I also like to open the windows of my house and sweep the floors to allow the space to be more fully cleansed during the ceremony.
Sit quietly for a few minutes and set the intention to cleanse your space, or awaken to your desired purpose. Ask that the herbs you will burn will assist you in this intentional cleansing, awakening , and purification ritual.
When you are ready, light the end of the bundle, holding the bound base. Allow the flames to ignite the herbs until they are smouldering. You can then place the smoking bundle into the bowl to prevent falling ash. Blow on your bundle to create more smoke if the smoulder is waning.
Now move around your space with your smouldering herb bundle, allowing the smoke to cleanse all corners and nooks, all open spaces and objects. As you do so remember your intention to cleanse the space and your request to the herbs and to the power of fire and smoke for assistance.
Once you have cleansed the whole of your space then place your bundle down and again sit quietly for a few minutes, noticing the difference in the energy of your space.
