The Tradition of Smudging

Smudging is practiced for many reasons:  to prepare for ceremony, consecrating shields or healing tools, always to make sacred, to transmute the unhappy manitou of a bad day!  Smudging is a sensual cleansing using herbs and scent to clear anyh negativity from a person, place or thing.  Medicine People understand when to use smudging for it's healing effects.  They've passed this Tradition down through the generations to help show us how our honorable path towards All Our Re.ations with right intentions and actions.

The first step in 'smudging' is to cleanse you and then the environmnet you're in.  To make ready your Spirit, the Spriit of a place, the Earth Mother gifted a sacred herb ally of purification...

The Medicine Oils

A Medicine Wheel of Aroma Therapies

The Medicine Oils are Native American inspired aromatherapies; blended herbals and essential oils to introduce you to the Medicine Wheel Traditions from many Nations.  The GrandMothers and GrandFathers tell us that Great Spirit created All our Relations and put the essence of itself within.  The Medicine People give us this understanding; everything contains a 'manitou', a special Spirit with a unique Medicine for us to discover and work with.  A Personal Medicine. 

Use the Medicine Oils to explore and share your Personal Medicine with others in a new companionship with Turtle Island, our Home.  Inside the Nations, a celebration of continuity and spiritual growth with Home is in acknowledging the natural allies surrounding us on our journey.  Native American traditions cultivate and honor an intimacy with the plants and trees, the earth Mother and Sky Father, the Animal brothers and Sister, the Directions and in sending out our intentions in prayers to Spirit for healing and knowledge.

The Medicine Oils reflect these Traditions, your Medicine Wheel of aromatic inspirations for discovering your Personal Medicine to share with All Your Relations.

Making your Medicine Wheel

Your Medicine Wheel is a living, feeling and growing expression of you!  The sacred circle of many stones and spokes is an outward template of our inner essence, our Spirit.  We create our Medicine Wheel as we journey along the Red Road learning and growing through life's experiences.

Among the teachings in the Nations we learn that one day we'll feel the call of our Medicine Wheel and be guided to build one to create a personal relationship with our Ancestors.  We make our Medicine Wheel beginning with the center stone.  Traditionally, the cneter stone is where we make our prayers and offerings to Great Spirit.  It's our connection to Great Spirit and a pathway into our own true heart...
