Collection: Palo Santo

The holy wood of the Andes, sweet and grounding at once. Burned to clear a heavy room while inviting calm, clarity, and good fortune to remain.

About Palo Santo

Palo Santo is Bursera graveolens, a tree of the torchwood family native to Peru and Ecuador and related to frankincense, myrrh, and copal. Paige Vanderbeck writes in Green Witchcraft that it is burned like a cleansing wand for spiritual cleansing, meditation, creativity, luck, and connection, and that only naturally fallen wood, aged around four years, should ever be harvested. It is burned as smudging sticks, either plain or dipped: a dipped stick is Palo Santo with a coating of lavender or white copal, so the two scents burn together.

How to use

Store your sticks somewhere dry; damp wood will not light or smoulder well
Light one end, let the flame burn briefly, then blow it out and let the stick smoulder over a fireproof dish
Open a window or door so the room is ventilated while it burns
Never leave it unattended; when you finish, press the ember into the dish until no smoke rises

Safety
For smoke cleansing only. Do not ingest. Burn with ventilation and never leave smouldering wood unattended.
