Ingredient list:
Desert Sage: Artemisia Tridentata (above) is not a true sage, it is a mugwort. It is commonly called "Big Sage" or "sage brush". Artemisia has medicinal uses, but it is currently most favored for making smudge sticks. It grows prolifically in several Western states, particularly on the eastern slope of the mountains behind San Diego, all over Nevada, and in the Arizona plateau country. Near Tucson, it grows on all sides of Mt. Lemmon above 5,000 feet. It also grows well as a cultivated plant in Tucson.
Cedar: We use
the easily shredded bark of cedar trees in our blends, because it doesn’t
snap and pop when it burns and it smells divine. We grind cedar into
sawdust sized particles for the Desert Blessing blends.
Lavender: We use lavender
flowers from many sources including homegrown and imported.
Copal: Copal is a special high grade resin similar to frankincense and myrrh. It has an especially beautiful aroma when it burns, one which tends to lift the soul. We get ours from Mexico, where it was hand gathered by traditional methods.
Pine: we use ground pine needles from trees in our yards.
White sage: This is a true sage, xxx traditionally burned to clear out bad smells and vibes. Ours comes from cultivated fields, where it is grown and picked in a traditional, sacred way.
Sweetgrass: Hier Odorata is another traditional blessing herb which comes in braids. We get ours from the northern plains, where it is hand gathered and braided in a traditional way.

ELK SKIN CLOTHING All custom clothing prices vary |
All custom clothing prices vary Leila Megan loves to craft leather clothing and has created her own unique, funky, and instantly recognizable style. She incorporates the shape of the leather itself - with all its flaws and holes - into her designs, so they are always slightly asymmetrical. She constructs them into comfortable shapes with her dangerously sharp deer antler awl, sinew, handmade strips of deerskin, and Barge leather glue. She fringes tabs that hang down, or paints on them. |
