The Cedar Stick Incense is made of 100% pure cedar. Cedar is for Healing, Purification, Money and Protection. The smoke of burning cedar is said to attract the good spirits and eliminate negative energies. Best to use after cleansing with sage. Many prefer cedar over sweet grass. In Native American tradition the smoke of cedar is used to carry prayers to the creator. It is used to bridge the gap between heaven and earth. It is often associated with breaking the misuse of power or powerful forces that may be having a negative influence. This does connect further with Native American tradition where the burning of Cedar is used to help banish nightmares and also to release heavy emotional energies such as depression. Siskiyou Cedar is found only in the remote, coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest's Siskiyou country. Most Cedar stick 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 stick incense anywhere made with real Cedar from the Pacific Northwest. Burn a stick and let your mind drift away to the forests of the rugged Northwest.
