Smudge Sticks
Smudge Sticks:
Hand gathered from our own plants and hand tied. We make these in the fall when the desert sage is in bloom, and sell them until they are all gone. Limited quantities are still on hand, from 2000’s harvest.
Available in Desert Sage alone and Desert Sage with Cedar.
Grandmother: Averages 22” long, 7” in circumference and 4 ounces. $15.00
Mother: Averages 18” long, 5” in circumference and 2 ½ ounces. $9.99
Home use: Averages 12” long, 4 ½ in circumference and 1¼ ounces. $7.77
Bagged Blends: Our bagged blends are original and unique. We make them by chopping the desert sage and cedar finely and mixing it with other ingredients. The desert sage has several wonderful properties: it holds the other ingredients together in the blend, it allows itself to be formed into a cone with the fingers, and it has the property of burning without going out, so charcoal tablets or other burning agents are not needed. A rounded teaspoon sized pinch, shaped into a cone, will burn for about 20 minutes. Available in cloth bag with drawstring top.  20 grams. $4.00

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.

DEERSKIN BLESSING BAGS

Right: Full Fringe. Approximately 6" X 6" including fringe. $39.00
Also available without fringe (not pictured). $24.00
All Blessing Bags come with a deerskin cord so you can wear it, a packet of 4 seed beads in colors to represent fire, earth, air, and water, and north, south, east and west, a small colorful parrot fluff feather, and a packet of our special handmade Desert Blessing incense.

Personalizing Your Blessing Bag
The bags should contain items that serve as symbols of your connection to the universe: Seed beads can represent the 4 directions and the four elements. A small feather to represent freedom. A crystal to bring focus to your prayers. Power beads and special found objects can be added to represent blessings. The outside of the bag is fun to decorate with your own meaningful objects and beads, such as are shown in the photograph. It is strongly recommended that you smudge items for your bag with sage, cedar and or copal, before you put them in it. You should do this regardless of the source of your items. Once the bag is closed, it should only be opened to add something. The contents are personal.

Special Treats for Blessing Bags
When you order a blessing bag, you may also order blessing beads (see inset above for their meanings) and/or crystals that we dug ourselves in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to put in your bag.
For the outside: We have German silver beads from Algeria, and pony beads in many colors. We also have a collection of bangles including fish, hearts, turtles, snakes, suns and moons, mostly in silver.

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.
