Siskiyou Cedar

Siskiyou Cedar is found only in the remote, coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest’s Siskiyou country. Most Cedar incenses are made with the perfumey- smelling essential oil of European Cedar—that's why they don’t smell anything like the Western Cedars we know and love. This is the only incense anywhere made with real Cedar from the Pacific Northwest.

Also called “Ginger Cedar” for its highly unusual spicy smell, Siskiyou Cedar is found only in the remote coastal mountains of the Northwest’s Siskiyou country.
Its soothing odor is extremely evocative and was said to have strongly affected 19th-century seamen who sailed schooners made from the fresh wood—“The odor grew and grew on them till they were almost mad with it” (Donald Peattie). I hope it doesn’t drive you mad! This is the real smell of Siskiyou Cedar and the gorgeous, rugged country in which it grows. Burn a stick and let your mind drift away to the forests of the rugged Northwest.


100% White Sage Incense


The world's only 100% real White Sage incense It seems so strange to me that no one makes a White Sage incense that is just pure, 100% real White Sage. White Sage has such a rich, sagey scent when it’s burned, why Nag Champafy it and make it smell all perfumey? And yet, every other “sage” or “White Sage” incense out there smells more like the community room in a yoga commune than any White Sage I’ve ever bumped into out on the trail. Are those other incense manufacturers lazy, or do they just not care? I suppose it’s probably their customers who don’t know the difference or care, but you do...
Here it is folks, the world’s first and only 100% White Sage incense with all the magic of real White Sage, because, well, that’s all it is. White Sage is a traditional space purifying plant used by native American tribes. It is great to use to clear unwanted energy from any space.




 
Sweetgrass is like Heaven!
Folks, I kid you not, Sweetgrass has a heavenly, sweet, subtle, warming, vanilla like aroma. Sweetgrass must have been one of the treasured plants of prehistoric people, because while it doesn't spread readily by seed, it managed to make its way to every inhabitable polar region, from Siberia and northern Europe across the Bering Straight to Alaska and northern Canada. In more recent times, Sweetgrass has become a favorite of the Native tribes of Canada and the American West, and is used ceremonially along with White Sage. When burned, it has a lovely, soft, vanilla-like scent and centering energy.
You will be pleased with your purchase as you burn this incense and inhale the soft, heaven like aroma of sweetgrass. I remember when I first smelled the soft scent of sweetgrass burning, it brought quite reflection to my mind with its sweet centering properties. Sweetgrass is a sacred plant burned during times of prayer and ceremony. It is said to be please to 'good spirits' and is known to attract positive energy.





The Majestic Douglas Fir
 
No tree is more deeply identified with the Pacific Northwest than Douglas Fir. Second in size only to the two California Sequoia species, Douglas Fir grows to enormous proportions and forms pure stands over much of the Northwest. When burned, it has a wonderfully cozy, woodsmoke scent that might remind you of that time you camped on the Oregon Coast underneath the moss bejeweled grand daddy trees, and the light scent of Doug Fir campfires hung in the air as night settled in. So enjoy this reminder of the big tree and sea, mossy rock and glacier country of the Pacific Northwest.
 
You may live in the middle of the country, on the eastern seaboard or even in another country and you may have visited the great Pacific coast and areas of the rugged Northwest. You then know how wonderfully magical a place it is. And if you haven't, I suggest a visit to our store for your first introduction to the majestic plants that hail from this region. You will be delighted by their gracious earthy fragrances.
