Smoking

Mastic incense

Light, fresh, balsamic scent
This resin originates from Greece and has a long tradition there – both for incense, flavoring, and medicinal purposes. Mastic is considered the "bringer of light" among resins and is smoked to refresh and invigorate, create a clear, alert mind, and strengthen intuition. Mastic creates a particularly friendly, open mood! Our Sun, Moon & Stars incense blend contains mastic.

Mixes well with coriander, spruce resin, willow bark, mugwort, lavender, rose

Yerba Santa incense bundle large

The sacred herb of the indigenous peoples of North America, which is also called Santa herb, grows mainly in North America, especially in California, Arizona and New Mexico, but also in northern Mexico.

This special power plant served as an important ritual incense, not only in medical rituals and healing ceremonies, but also in thankful and ancestral incense burnings, as well as as a component of the sweat lodge ritual.

The spicy, warm, slightly herbal scent that emerges when burning the sacred herb is said to neutralize negative influences and energies, thus creating a positive, healing atmosphere. The smoke is also said to have a clarifying effect on the mind, connecting it with our hearts. It is said to provide new self-confidence, drive, and energy, especially in cases of depression, lack of strength, or discouragement. Thus, burning Yerba Santa also helps with releasing fears and emotional pain, as well as with grieving and letting go.

Santa herb can not only be smoked on its own, but also in combination with other typical smoking plants, such as cedar tips or sweetgrass.

A BOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, which is not only about smoking and the Raunächte, but about much more: about the energetic relationship between people and space (home, workplace).

Sigrid Csurda-Steinwender is an interior designer and geomancer. She has long been concerned with the topic of "better living, better working, better life" and raises awareness of how closely people and spaces are connected. In this book, she offers helpful suggestions for getting rid of stressful vibrations within your own four walls.

It supports you in decluttering and redesigning your own environment, in furnishing, and in dealing with people and with yourself.

Here are some quotes:

The energy fields underlying the space create its unique atmosphere, with which every person resonates.

The memory of our space remembers everything that happens in a space over time.

Spaces shouldn't be constraining or limiting, but rather should be used and understood as support for unfolding our full potential. Therefore, it's advisable to cleanse and clear the energy field of your home from time to time.

A key to creating a strengthening living space lies in pausing occasionally in the rapid flow of time—consciously observing and perceiving what is—and then acting accordingly. Doing this in the form of a ritual transforms the action into a sacred and healing act.
