White Sage
- Meaning: White Sage is one of the most well-known plants used for spiritual cleansing. It is traditionally used to clear negative or stagnant energy, purify people, objects, and spaces, and reset the energetic atmosphere.
- Purpose in a kit: It’s often used at the beginning of a clearing ritual to remove unwanted energies and create a clean, neutral foundation.
Palo Santo
- Meaning: Palo Santo translates to “Holy Wood.” While sage clears energy, Palo Santo is commonly used to invite in positive energy such as peace, joy, grounding, and spiritual connection.
- Purpose in a kit: After cleansing with sage, Palo Santo helps fill the space with warmth, calm, and uplifting vibrations. It’s also associated with intention-setting and emotional balance.
Abalone Shell
- Meaning: The abalone shell represents the water element, intuition, and emotional harmony. It is often associated with protection and the sacred feminine.
- Purpose in a kit: Practically, it holds the burning sage or Palo Santo safely. Spiritually, it acts as a sacred vessel that balances the fire (burning herbs) with water energy, helping to harmonize the cleansing process.
