OUR SACRED MEDICINES

"Tobacco is the sacred herb of the East, the direction of Grandfather Sun, Eagle, and the Creator. We send our prayers up in its smoke, and Eagle takes them to the Creator. Thus, Tobacco also honors Eagle.

Cedar is the sacred herb of the South; it purifies as well as pulls positive energy into your sacred space with its smoke.

Sage is the sacred herb of the West, used in smudging to purify, and to send prayers to the Creator.

Sweet grass is the sacred herb of the North, a purifying herb used to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. These herbs are also used in Ceremonies, for various purposes. - from Silvia Mamani

Deep Wisdom is a choice to receive.

"May I add to the sharing of knowledge what I learned from experience, and from the Okla-Choctaw elder, and teacher Rainbow Eagle? I'd like to share the more probing intimacies about our Sacred Medicines. Tobacco honors all energies. Sweet Grass makes no demands. It balances energies. 

The Cedar sets up pathways, and invites all into relationship. Cedar asks, "Will you be helpful with this new family?" Cedar has been known to offer, "If you are going to leave here is a song." This is an honoring. Cedar honors in a very big, yet subtle way. The Sage, or the Prairie Sage sets up the womb for decisions. It sets place for spirits to move, hold space and be a container for a time. Sage holds the Womb together. When using Sage ask of her to help you respect all energies. 

All of these Medicines have voices, and listen to us. This reciprocal relationship is beneficial as all good relations are, or could be." - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha
