Sweetgrass

A sweetgrass wand is a sacred bundle of Hierochloe odorata (also known as holy grass or vanilla grass), traditionally used in purification, blessings, and spiritual connection. 
Sweetgrass is revered in many Indigenous and earth-based spiritual traditions as a sacred plant that invites positive energy, love, and harmony. Its sweet, vanilla-like scent is believed to attract good spirits and promote peace.
Uses of a Sweetgrass Wand
Energy Blessing – Sweetgrass is often burned or waved through the air to invite blessings and high vibrations into a space.
Spiritual Connection – Used in rituals and ceremonies to deepen one’s connection to the divine, ancestors, and the natural world.
Harmony & Peace – Often placed in homes or sacred spaces to promote tranquility and dispel negativity.
Pairing with Smudging Herbs – Sweetgrass is often used after burning sage or another cleansing herb, as sage removes negative energy, while sweetgrass draws in positivity.
How to Use
Wave the wand through your space while setting your intention, or burn small sections carefully (sweetgrass burns slowly and is often braided for easier handling). You can also hang it above doorways or place it on an altar for continuous blessings.
