Sweetgrass Braid
Sweetgrass has been used for centuries by Indigenous cultures for ceremonial purposes and is considered a sacred herb.
The three cords of the sweetgrass braid represent mind, body and spirit. There are typically seven strands of grass per cord. The first seven strands represent the seven generations behind us including our parents, grandparents, etc. The next seven represent the seven sacred teachings of love, humility, truth, respect, honesty, courage and wisdom. The final seven strands represent the seven generations that will come after us.
All in all, sweetgrass is a plant medicine that represents strength and resilience in both family and the community and their connection with Mother Earth. 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.
Typically, sage is burned first to cleanse and purify and is followed by sweetgrass to attract good energy and spirits. Can be used in conjunction with sage. Which is burned firstly to drive away negative forces, then sweetgrass is used to summon positive energies.
Can also be kept in the home to attract positive energies, carried as a protective totem, burned for personal and home blessings, used in a sweat lodge ceremony.
