Smudging with white sage became widespread in North America partly due to 20th-century commercialization and transplanting of Indigenous practices—true Indigenous smudging traditions vary widely by nation and plant, and widespread sage burning has raised conservation and cultural appropriation concerns that many spiritual practitioners now address by choosing sustainably sourced or locally appropriate herbs. 🌿🔥
At Valhalla's Gate, we prioritize ethically sourced herbs and offer guidance so your ritual respects tradition and the plant.
