Long Tjärved "Fatwood" or "Tar wood" smoke wands.

As we deepen our connection to ancestral lineages, study plant magic, better understand sustainability and regeneration in our magical practices and have important conversations about appropriation in magic, many of us are looking for alternatives to burning White Sage and Palo Santo.

We’ve researched and stocked plants that can be burned ritually in magic to help cleanse, purify, and protect that may be more aligned with your magical practice.

We love our Tjärved Smoke Wand. These are an amazing clearing and cleansing smoke tool, used traditionally in Nordic folk magic. Sometimes used as a small torch in Swedish folk magic, Tjärved is filled with pine tar, which is synonymous with cleansing and protection in Scandinavia. The branches are sustainably harvested - when a pine branch dies, the tree sends the "fat" to the wood, which loads it with a slow burning substance. (Also, they are sourced from small woodworking businesses who gather from their own backyards!)
