I am Maliseet First Nation and I would like to thank you for speaking of white sage for its importance to us and how to use appropriately.

Thank you for talking about the appropriation of white sage 🙏🏽

Thank you for speaking about white sage and, how it's sacred to Native Americans 🙏🏼

I live in Italy and grow my own sage for burning, for medicinal benefits, and for cooking. You don't need White Sage to feel the benefits of cleansing. Any regular sage is just as good. Grow your own as its a very hearty herb and can be grown in small, well drainable containers on your windowsill. As long there is sun, the better and stronger the sage will be, and tastier in cooking too 🥰

To cleanse your crystal from Sunlight make it sure it's from morning sun. I do cleanse my crystal from Sunlight every morning only. Because morning sunlight is not strong and not too hot.

Thank you!!!! And I always put like before even starting the video! I love you and your vibes🙏😍

thank you so much for talking about white sage

you should do a video on your essential crystals that you carry with you/use on the daily ! ❤️🪄

Very genuine of you to put the most important thing at the beginning of your video. 👍

Love this thanks!!

Thank for all the information!

Thank you for sharing this! Can we create a thread of indigenous and/or ethically sources vendors?

Thank u for sharing very helpful!!

I loved your video. It’s hard to find the right videos , people usually talk too much or have a very scattered energy and are just not pleasing to listen to but I loved your presentation , just enough information and to the point. Plus you’ve got a great energy. I’ll be watching more of your content 😊

I choose plants! Moonlight sounds wonderful!!

This is my first time watching your videos and I am a beginner of crystal you videos did help me so much thank you so much 🥰💖✨🙏

She give me such a good feeling her voice crystals!!

Can you please do a video on how to tell the difference between quartz and calcite? Also, thank you for the video!

YOUR EYES!🤩 Thank you for this vid, ive kind of been binging all your stuff I found this one especially informative

YOUR EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL OMG !! also loved the video keep it up 💕💘💕

hello Barbie, thank you so much for your video. May I ask if the crystals you were talking about include rhodochrosite and malachite? many thanks.

Wow I didn’t know that about white sage, thank you

Any suggestions or where to find lavender sage? or how we can personally make it?

starting to get into my spiritual side and i got a few new crystals so im trying to cleanse them

Thank you for talking about white sage. I am wanting to go further with crystals, but my biggest fear is overstepping my boundaries, especially with appropriation.

Im half cree Iroquois thank you for talking about sage its a touchy topic but ty it is endangered i only get smudges from medicine woman or men if i cant get it i go to the native craft store and get mugwort or cedar there is a place to offer tobacco for it. In my culture you light with a candle or matches and take off jewelery and glasses first out of respect.

Honestly I didn't know about placing stones next to house plants! Thanks

Great video! Just subbed 👍🏻

KZfaq says I am too young to watch the video you mentioned but i think i understand well enough ty

Thank you

I have 5 pieces of palo santo and 1 bundle of Californian sage from 2016-2017 ish before I was educated I did buy from a spiritual shop I though was ethically sourced (although I can't be certain) and I still have these. I'm glad that my initial though of not throwing them away was a good one as I didn't want to waste endangered plants. This is why I use them so sparingly in a smoke cleansing ritual associated with my specific cultural and racial background. I will however not be purchasing any in the future and haven't done so since those pieces were bought. At the time I wasn't educated on this and blindly listened to the spiritual shop owner as not only was I a teenager but also but a lot of trust in this man weekly (now knowing what I know this was not wise). Thank you for speaking up about this and bringing awareness. There are so many other herbs and resins that can be used in smoke cleansings that are not endangered or culturally significant and I wish more people and places spoke about this.

Can you talk about ethical crystal mining practices?

Hey! Thank you for this video, it was really helpful, but what do you do with the salt after you used it?

YOU ROCK BARBIE! :D

Thank you for this!! Also can we see more of the fake crystal videos ? I got some aqua aura quartz and I don’t know if it’s real :/

I just bought some crystals and I wanna know if I can celadon them with a copal smudge bundle?

Thanks 😊

Excellent! Thank you! But.... I am not in harmony with the linked video. I do appreciate the messages given. I also recognize and acknowledge the pain underneath. I continue to send healing always🙏

How do you know when to cleanse them? Thank you!

I got my white sage from a witch shop that gets their products from ethical sources. I don't burn it I just have it for my altar display. Cedar is also great option and it smells so good. And frankincense

Thank u

🔮 How long does white sage for smudging stay good? I bought some months ago, its still wrapped in plastic too. I been sick the past few months and haven't got to cleanse all my crystals that are still in there boxes they came in. I've trying to get my bedroom redecorated for a long time. So I'm hoping this next week I can get started then will be able to place all my crystals out in here.

Hi! What happens if you put crystals in soil and the soil is wet ? Crystals that can’t go in water, can they still go in this soil even if it is wet from like rain and water ? Thanks xx

Hi ☺️ I was wondering if you could tell me if you no of any authentic crystal shops in the UK please, I’m new to crystals and really wouldn’t no idea it was real or not xxx

I’m obsessed with your eyes

the best way i found to clean my crystals was wet wipes, specifically Dettol

Can you use different tecniques at the same time,like put crystals in a boul of salt and rain all night under the moon?

If you set intention after cleansing and charging, next time you will cleanse the crystal, do you set intentions again? Does the cleansing 'reset' the crystals or do the intentions stay until you change it?

I grow my own sage..its a beast, no clue what tyupe it is ...i got the seeds years ago online from usa to australia before australia slamed the door shut on buying heirloom seeds from overseas.

Cedar is also good for smoke

with moonlight, can i put my crystals on my windowsill? or would that not have the same effect

Your eyes are so pretty

can i re use the salt?

Hello i found your video very helpful!! I do have a question about cleansing my crystals in my plant soil. My question is how long do I leave my crystals inside the soil.

I thought Selenite was for charging and not cleansing. Is it for both?

Amazing video! Im a baby witch and my mom bought me a surprise on my birthday! It was 5 days ago, but the surprise was very nice! She bought me...... CRYSTALS!! Im so happy! She knows i like crystals so she bought me: Red Jasper, Sodalite, Rose Quartz, Citrine, Clear Quartz, Amethyst, Tigers Eye, and my favorite crystal, Green Adventurine! All of them are real, i tested them on glass and the glass scratched but not the crystals! I bought incense as well, I got an iris flower as smell. It smells very good! Oh btw, the crystals did not really cost that much! Only 60 RON for 8 crystals! And all oh them are real!! (Yes I live in Romania) I hope the Iris Flower is a good incense!

hii! I just have a quick question, for the salt burying method, can I reuse the salt for other times?

Thank you for letting us know about white sage. I had hoped to purchase some, but I watched the video you recommended. It was very informative and vowed to never purchase it. I will continue to use incense sticks or bundled lavender. Thank you for emphasizing using the term smoke cleansing vs. smoke cleansing.

How do ofter cleanse crystals and gemstone?

Best way for jade?

SORRY BUT but you eyes are BOOTIFUL- Anyways- I once heard of this tecnique to cleanse crystals and I want to know if it's safe! So the tecnique is putting a glass of water out to charge in moonlight, then leaving your crystals (for one day or overnight) in the water to cleanse them. Does that work and if so is it safe for fluorite, amethyst, and Citrine? Thanks a bunch!

Do you buy rare rose quartz?

I grow Russian Sage and its AHmazeing!

FIRST!! 😍🥰

Quick question- can we use the salt over again, or do we have to replace it after the crystals are cleansed? Thank you and love the video! 💕

Hi I’m a baby witch is it possible to use a oil diffuser to cleanse and I’d so how I don’t wanna disrespect anyone in any way?

Does selenite actually need to be cleansed itself like regular crystals

I got gifted white sage for my b day from my cousin and i don’t really know what to do with it, idk if she’s native or not but I don’t think I am, I don’t wanna mess with stuff I’m not supposed to or appropriate anything

i cant use insense or sage, so what is the next best thing to use to cleanse crystals?

Can you post the link to the other video for sage in the comments? I can't copy the link or anything

Im in North Carolina! Close to Cary …Can we connect? I want to learn more and get into my spiritual healing 😌 & learn from someone

Are their certain crystals that cannot be placed in pink Himalayan salt?

We have to do one of these or all of them?

Ik this has nothing to do with this video but, ur natural brown eyes are soooo beautiful i dont think u need to wear lenses at all (but if it makes u feel good its ur choice)

What if u cleanse your crystals in dirt outside (underground)

⚠ Hi, I went to watch the video you mentioned, and there was a pop-up supposedly from Google wanting me to verify my age by credit card or ID, otherwise the video can't be watched. That's very strange for a video about sage and may be a scam, so I declined. I've never seen that before, is it normal? 🤔🧐

Me: thinking you need candles, smoke and literally a ritual to cleanse Crystals Her:„you can put it in soil or near house plants” Me with my 20+ plants and cactuses: 😏

When cleansing your crystals with moonlight does it have to be a clear night or can it be cloudy? And also does it have to be on the full moon?

What is your culture im curious

Honestly, I might switch to black sage. Looked it up and fell in love with it! Honestly, with white sage, I'm not too worried. Hard to believe a cultivated plant would go extinct. I also have significant native American blood and understand the proper usage well enough. (I also don't agree with the cultural appropriation issue, as I see it as a hindrance to cultural advancement. If the person that came up with the practice was still alive that's one thing, but even the 70 years after the creator's death is far too long imo. Though this is an opinion, and is subject to change)

I have a question so I'm a Catholic and I was wondering if I'm still able to use and own crystals because I really love then and they help me a lot same for my mom but I heard people say that you can't have crystals if you believe in God and some say its even dangerous is that true

So cool, when did you start studying crystals?

Salt is sodium chloride. It is highly corrosive to some crystals and can change their chemical composition. Selenite contains sulfur. Same problem. I do not recommend contact with these for any crystal, especially long term direct contact because some crystals also don’t like water which would be the only way to clean them thereafter. That said, if you place the crystal near these, that’s really all it takes.

I purchase white sage that is grown on private land sustainably and appreciate this knowledge! I usually use cedar but to me, buying it sustainably is a good thing. I am 1/8 native American but my dad left home at 14 and I don't have access to that side of my life. To me never having known that side of my heritage, I take it seriously and have watched many videos from native Americans while deciding how to feel about white sage. People (mostly other white folk) get mad at me because I look too white to use sage and I can understand but I think appropriation comes from lack of care or knowledge. Many of us are mutts in america and our spiritual choices may be eclectic as we find our place. I did watch a video about Palo- it is not endangered and in fact the only place it is endangered is an island and that is protected by their government, it's a specific species of Palo. They use Palo santo as bug repellant mostly because it's great for that but if you can avoid it I think it's fine if it makes you more comfortable 🤷‍♀️ I have a few pieces sent to me and I burn it once in awhile just because I have it but I don't buy it. People will get mad about anything they can and I try to just remind myself not everyone's path looks the same. I wish people would stop being cruel to each other about white sage. People get mad it's endangered, but then say it's okay to still buy from native Americans. .. if it's sacred and endangered, why would you buy it from them? So I buy sustainably, privately harvested. I have also heard white sage isn't even native to America anyway and hasn't always been used by native Americans until it was brought over but I do not know how real that is🤷‍♀️

Also as far as I know Incense is a good way to smoke cleanse

I think your wonderful 💘

Hi! I just started collecting crystals this year and i was wondering if i can cleanse them using a white sage incense? Just like any regular incense but the variant is white sage,, can i do that or no?

Are incense in the same vein as sage in terms of culture appropriation or something else entirely?

sunlight ia fine lets say 7-9 am for 10mins max 20

You don't have to say a prayer or any words when you cleanse?

So is it okay to cleanse crystals with white sage or no? 🥺

So the smudging ceremonial practice is indigenous practice but smoke cleansing has been used all over for hundreds of centuries?

WAATUP WITCH! lol

My mom gave me her crystals and i already had amethyst and rose quartz and and they feel heavy and i feel drained when i hold them i think i should cleanse them

This video confused me in so many ways, plants can be endangered?! How?!

Honest question tho, isn't "smudging" an English word anyway? What's the purpose of calling it "smoke cleansing" instead? Kinda sounds like rebranding to avoid buzz words in searches, rather than an actual attempt to avoid cultural appropriation.

What did she mean with cultural appropiation in mind??

So I can cleanse my crystals with marijuana?

I watched that video you suggested, and I promise I watched it to then end, but I felt like the girl was kinda Racist. Her views were very interesting though!!

Make sure you buy for my ethical dealer 😂
