It’s easier to wrap when it’s just cut, and then hang to dry after trimming. Dried sage is usually for loose sage for ceremonial usage.

[@micheleroberts908]

dried white sage only. It is for purification . Not the green sage.

[@alyderock5995]

Michele Roberts I know, I’m Lakota so I dry sage all the time. We bundle it and wrap it for smudge sticks and we will leave some stalks by themselves to dry to put in an abalone shell for morning prayers and smudging when I need it.

[@mimisikujui5514]

Everyone does it differently.does not matter as long as its sage.not everyone is lakota.

[@alyderock5995]

mimi sikujui I didn’t say you had to do it a certain way. I said it was easier if you wrapped it right after it was cut.

[@jodienaiburg4076]

Thank you! That was my thought!

[@marcopothuizen]

I like your presentation, but....your background music is an insult to all the smudgesticks ;-)

[@KittySwrive]

😂

LMFAOO

[@Smallballzzz]

You’re very anxious in this video, and the music on top of it is making me anxious lol

[@freedomyogapilates6603]

Thats exactly how l felt when watching this video not calm at all 🙏

[@tiptonmustardseed]

Please change or turn off the music

[@emilieclarke5074]

Omg fun!!! I’m going to try this out! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@celestejohnson8586]

Do you know how I could make a smudge stick with loose sage like sage that is not on a stick ig I’m new to all this and at the moment loose sage is all I can find.

[@21allisonl]

Thank you! I loved your video! Excited to go make my own! xoxo

[@Tasunim]

Your beautiful video and the ambience of where you are - why'd you choose such music though?

[@mariasommer8151]

Thank you! Your hair and eyes are lovely, I will make the sticks!

[@brunadelicinha69]

Thank you so much for the video!

[@stormvent2572]

Thanks a lot. This was very helpful. Much love x

[@AnnaCarr]

That’s great, really straightforward instructions and helpful demonstration. Thank you ✨

[@tomimartin6406]

Bad music AND wind noise?? Smudge this video!

[@braydotheghosthunteretps5372]

Whats the purpose smudging rosemary?

[@saltpepperketchup7082]

You wrap the leaves with string to hold the leaves together... but then when you set it on fire, that will burn the string, and then wont it unravel??

[@amandasiekfur5981]

Thank you

[@nuijournee4815]

Where do you recommend buying the sage?

[@bettyk8105]

You really don’t need that jarring background music.

[@sadieall1136]

Where did you get that dress?! 😍

[@tbonemurphy9980]

You are gorgeous

[@tyeshaharris3025]

What's the best herd to use for insight, love compassion and money.

[@Gabrielle.clarissa]

Rosemary for love and compassion, you could try something like spearmint for luck and abundance

[@tg4941]

Can I ask if the sage burns down eventually does the bindings need redoing or do they keep ok. Also when you are smudging do u say anything to the energies?

[@winkie3331]

I think because of the first string holding the base of stems that it should hold

[@Coe1303]

The music is too loud and a bit distracting, like a 1980's video game. Lovely instructional video, thank-you.

[@dontleaveamessage]

Ahimsa Space lmaooo

[@daniellenicolew]

Any recommendations for something for cleansing, balance, and stress relief?

[@onesunnyday5699]

Lavendar. I combine them since I grow my own. They are gorgeous & I have trouble burning them 😁. I give them as gifts as well & friends say the same thing, "I can't burn this, it's too beautiful" 😊

[@xopi2521]

LOL I was going to say. I carry a small bottle of lavender oil-pure and I rub it on my hands. It works. I thought maybe people wouldn’t like the scent but I was at the dentist where I have a gag reflex and vomit and used it and everyone who came in commented on the nice smell. My vet had something amazing in a bottle that had some lavender in it and it worked on my terrified dog.

[@michaelcorlae4191]

Music too loud

[@MotherlyEssence]

Can I use Mexican sage?

[@onesunnyday5699]

Yes

[@ArkansasEllie]

Im wondering if I should moisten the sage first to help it be more pliable, without breaking leaves, then dry it back out?

[@CyHerbiaBotanicalPark]

Hi! If your sage is fresh then it still has moisture in it and it will be best to make a sage bundle while it is still fresh! If it's already dry, and you wet it and then dry it again, it will break off and go black.

[@ArkansasEllie]

CyHerbia really?? I was told today soaking it in salt water overnight would be fine... Good thing I only soaked a little! Lol

[@Flaubert]

i would not use dried herbs. they are very hard to use and break. always use it fresh and then let it dry.

[@ashrysintoyourhigherselves2161]

@@Flaubert You didn't have any mold issues?

[@Flaubert]

@@ashrysintoyourhigherselves2161 no not at all

[@Ogfolami]

Where do you get your sage

[@human0nfire]

OG Isis store

[@onesunnyday5699]

It should never be bought or sold, I've heard, because it's a sacred plant. I started growing my own, but until I could (and I didn't know better) I bought my first few. Now it's literally everywhere 😄

[@cathino]

where can i purchase the thread?

[@dontleaveamessage]

Cat Hino the craft store or Walmart

[@lulu486]

Awesome video! Can you also use fresh sage instead of dried sage? Also, I love your make up 🙌🏼

[@CyHerbiaBotanicalPark]

Hi, you can make the stick with fresh sage and then dry it. In order to use it, it must be dried. Thanks!!

[@lulu486]

Thank you!

[@geraldthethird8082]

It’s better tying it when it’s fresh then hang to dry

[@kindacringesav]

The comments about the music are rude. I enjoyed the music.

[@adrianadouglas2515]

Is salvia the same as sage? X

[@mioangel1227]

Yes, it is! 👁️❤️🙏

[@jonathanmacias5450]

Yes but some people also call sagebrush sage when it's in fact an artemisia in the wormwood family but yes this is a salvia

[@cstribal]

this is placebo effect! right?

[@joshuabevely6405]

Hey can I use grass to make one ?

[@tmsfunart2091]

You can use sweet grass.

[@taissafarmigaenthusiast8608]

nope

[@vanessamariemillicentchali5301]

Background music makes it hard for me to listen to what you are saying.

[@zenic8656]

Thought this would be relaxing, but that music is horrific.Turned off after 3 mins.

[@itmaslanka]

Nice presentation and legs !

[@marycpeck]

How can I be in a good place with that awful electronic music?

[@bayareaexploration6716]

What is wrong with your eyes? Will the smudge stick cure your green hair?

[@taissafarmigaenthusiast8608]

hi remember when smudging if u arent indigenous to recognize ur in some way honouring our culture instead of cherry-picking it, ty

[@aceit1279]

Hahahahahahaha,,,

[@farscape057]

Sorry, the video was alright, but I stopped watching because of the distracting and annoying music. Otherwise, Blessed Be .

[@jungleebushcraft]

Huh?! A she devil? Too much smudge??

[@romanvansanchez1]

What happen to your eyes!

[@sunsineywicha3500]

Rome I thought she’s just back from Halloween party and didn’t want to remove her eye makeup

[@rainbowcity]

I’m kind of shocked by this video. This is a Native American practice. This is appropriation at its worst. Deeply saddened.

[@CyHerbiaBotanicalPark]

This is Greek Sage, Salvia Officinalis. We practice Greek herbalism. You are clearly confused.

[@michaelscottspapercompany6373]

Even if this was a Native American practice, other cultures can still use it as long as they are respectful and understanding fully why they are privileged to be using the sacred plant.
