Made in British Columbia

This First Nations all-natural sweetgrass candle was created by Canadian Cree Medicine Woman Carrie Armstrong, based on teachings rooted in the sacred plants of the medicine wheel.

4 oz. natural 100% soy wax sweetgrass-scented candle.

The comforting, haystack scent of sweetgrass walks us out into a fragrant meadow. This sweet aromatic essence is known to soothe & calm. Sweetgrass is sometimes called the hair of Mother Earth and is considered a sacred gift. After the grass is harvested, it is carefully braided; the three sections represent mind, body, and spirit. By braiding it, we bring those aspects of our being together, care for and strengthen them. When we smudge with sweetgrass, we are taught that the smoke from that burning sweetgrass prepares us for prayer because the scent is pleasing to the Creator. It is the northern direction of the medicine wheel.
