Abalone Shells are often used in smudging rituals, not only because they are practical in that they catch the hot cinders that fall away from the smudging stick after it has burnt, but also because they are a beautiful gift straight from Mother Earth's ocean.
Traditionally we use a feather to spread the sage around our space when cleansing of unwanted energy or setting intentions. A Turkey Feather is perfect for fanning the sacred smoke of sage, herbs or incense during cleansing rituals. The feathers are believed to possess grounding energy, connecting you to the earth and providing protection and wisdom. When used in rituals, the feather allows the smoke to rise, symbolising the elevation of intentions to higher realms.
