Wildfolk handcrafted saining sticks
Saining, or the intentional act of purification with smoke, is an important folk practice which helps us to live in alignment with the proper order of things. This ancient practice helps to remove negative influences from the object of purification. To sain an object, being, or space is to awaken it to purpose, to bless and purify it and to make it sacred.
