Smudging Ritual Kit

One White Sage bundle (6-inch) - Salvia apiana, supplier-confirmed Mexican cultivation. The longest bundle in the kit; tightly bound dried sage leaves that smoulder slowly when lit at one end.

One Blue Sage bundle (5-inch) - Turkish-origin Salvia bundle. "Blue Sage" is a trade name applied to several Salvia species; the Turkish origin indicates this is most likely an Anatolian or Mediterranean Salvia (Turkey hosts over 90 Salvia species, roughly half endemic), not the California-native species sometimes sold under the same trade name in other markets. Specific species pending supplier confirmation.

One Lavender bundle (5-inch) - Lavandula from Turkey. The Isparta region in southwestern Turkey is the heart of contemporary Mediterranean lavender cultivation; the cool plateau climate and limestone soils produce the most documented Lavandula crop in the region. Most likely L. angustifolia or L. × intermedia based on commercial Turkish lavender practice; specific species pending supplier confirmation.

Four palo santo sticks (4-inch) - Bursera graveolens from the Peruvian dry forests, the same naturally aged wood as the Palo Santo Collection. Smoulders rather than burns; self-extinguishes; relights for multiple sessions.

All four components share the same burn pattern:

1. Hold the bundle or stick tip to a flame for 5–10 seconds until the tip catches.
2. Blow the flame out so the material smoulders.
3. Place in a heat-safe vessel or hold over a dish to catch ash.
4. Allow to cool fully before storage between sessions.

Each species carries its own aromatic register - the kit format suits the customer who wants to compare White Sage, Anatolian Salvia, Turkish lavender, and Peruvian palo santo side by side. Burn one at a time to learn the differences before blending sessions.

The kit's two Turkish-origin bundles anchor it in Mediterranean and Anatolian aromatic tradition. Turkey is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots for the Salvia genus - over 90 Salvia species occur within the country's borders, with roughly half endemic to Anatolia. Turkish lavender harvest centres on the Isparta region of southwestern Turkey, where the cool plateau climate and limestone soils produce the most documented Mediterranean Lavandula crop. The kit pairs these two Anatolian aromatics with palo santo from the Peruvian dry forests and White Sage from Mexican cultivation - three continents in four bundles, with the Mediterranean geographic register carrying the kit's editorial centre.
