22-28" Sweetgrass Braid

Sweetgrass has slightly different significance in different communities. To the Anishinaabe Nation (Woodland Indians), it is believed to be the sacred hair of O'gushnan, Mother Earth, and is often braided; with the three sections representing mind, body, and soul. Braiding of the sweetgrass plant is usually a group event that brings communities together and connects each member. Sweetgrass is much more than a nice smelling plant that can be burned. It represents the connection of humans to earth and sky and is used in many ceremonies and prayers.
Sweetgrass is one of the 4 sacred medicines - Sage, Sweetgrass, Tobacco and Cedar. Sweetgrass is wonderful for cleansing and purifying space, or our bodies.
