Sacred Sage: How It Heals

"Sage and smudging is much more than just burning some leaves in a dish. Silver Wolf explains the plant, its uses, the ceremonies, and the reverence it and Mother Earth should be given. This tiny book is worth twice the money in my opinion. "

"Author Silver Wolf Walks Alone created a book which is easy to read and understand. Beginning with her own experiences with sagebrush use and its healing abilities, she later shares spiritual messages she received during meditations with the sagebrush and through using it in her personal life. She even explains how to select sage in the wild.

After reading this book three years ago I bought a prepackaged ceremonial sage stick and performed the first smudging of my home. I knew nothing about sage and did not know what to expect, doing it more out of curiosity than anything else. Based on what occurred afterward, I smudge our home at least once a year. A few days after the first smudging, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. He immediately underwent treatment (traditional medicine methods) and has been subsequently healed. On four other occasions after I have smudged our home, a family member was found to have some major disease or medical condition requiring immediate attention. In each case the person has been healed and is completely well now. Coincidence or something more? We are beginning to wonder. . . If this works, talk about an easy way to drive out unsavory spirits!
Even readers who are skeptical of the healing power of sage will appreciate the many beautiful stories and observations about Native American healing methods and ceremonies which the author has included. In short, the information and insights gained were well worth the nominal price of the book!

"This is the encyclopedia of sage. It explains that there are different kinds of sage for different spiritual and healing purposes. I hadn't seen that in any other book; most of them just lump all sage together under the title "sage" and leave it at that.

The author also gives extensive information on gathering sage (sagebrush is what she is taking about) from the wild.

Where she may lose some readers is with her lengthy attempt, which covers most of the book, to explain her sage-based spirituality. You may understand what she says or you may not. The book (really a pamphlet) is small, short, and inexpensive enough where it doesn't matter. Anyone reading this book will understand the nuts-and-bolts information about sage and its spiritual and healing uses. If that's your reason for buying the book, you won't be disappointed."
