Feather Smudge Bowl

The Smudge Bowl is a tool used in First Nations’ communities to assist in the traditional smudging ceremony. This ceremony is powerful and thousands of years old, having been passed through generations as a sacred cleansing practice. The smudging ceremony acts to drive away negative energy and restore balance to an individual, spirit or place by lighting herbs gathered from the earth, such as sage, cedar or sweet grass. The rising smoke is fanned around and is said to cleanse the mind to create good thoughts and give off positive energy. This ceremony serves to connect the material realm to the spiritual realm. The rising smoke sends negative energy and spirits away and carries with it the prayers and thoughts of the ceremony towards the heavens. We hope that this Smudge Bowl brings to your home cleansing and positive energy. Carved on Six Nations Confederacy of the Grand River, proudly made in Canada.
