However, the two look similar, although black sage tends to be shorter and more grey than white when dried. It's also great for a variety of riding styles, and there are enough sizes and colours to keep everyone happy.

Salvia apiana, the Californian white sage, bee sage, or sacred sage is an evergreen perennial shrub that is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, found mainly in the coastal sage scrub habitat of Southern California and Baja California, on the western edges of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts.White sage works well for smudging because it burns slowly and creates steady smoke, which is necessary for the ceremony. I grew one this way this year and it is now in gorgeous flower, with heavy branches to a height of 3 feet. Starting at the lowest level of your house, move upwards, light the smudge and walk round the perimeter, paying close attention to the corners and areas behind doors.

Individual experiences with these products or practices may vary, and their effects should be assessed on an individual basis. As the smoke moves through the room or over a surface, the smoke attaches itself to any heavy, negative energy that is within the space, object, or being. Plants will be very happy if they are allowed to root into the floor, even through river rock or gravel. Once this was done, they could pour the seed and pod mixture onto a piece of cloth or leather, remove larger bits of pod, and lightly blow the chaff away. I have an older plant in a deep paper pot and it does pretty well against the house on the southern side during the rainy months.Deputies said in a statement that white sage is protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, which is a common misconception. It is sought after in modern times by many peoples around the world who have come to recognize the special qualities ofSalvia Apiana.

If you start to see reddening leaves, you can give the plant a little assistance with a light drizzle of water at the base of the sage. First, for a total cleansing, open all doors and windows of space to be cleared, providing an exit point for old energies. Think of the natural soil makeup of a foothill in the southern California region – dusty, sandy soil with lots of decomposing granite. The Align II is designed for more relaxed rides, so it's aimed at commuting, days out on towpaths, that kind of thing, though really it looks streamlined and sporty enough to be used for anything, I think. Then move to the next corner, and waft smoke from the bottom to the top of the corner, and once you complete the final corner, move to the center of the room, raise the bowl to chest height, and waft smoke up towards the room center.This provides a tiny amount of extra nitrogen to help spur plant growth, but won’t overwhelm your plants.
