Bundle of 3 palo santo sticks.

Hand-tied bundles of palo santo ("holy wood" in Spanish), a sweet woodsy natural incense from the palo santo trees that originate in Central and South America. Palo Santo is used in South America in much the same way as White Ceremonial Sage is used in North America - to combat negative energy and to cleanse the space. Though it's different than many other smudging materials as it's also fragrant in its raw form, usually only lit when being used for ceremonial purposes. Palo Santo is often used by Amazonian shamans in sacred plant spirit ceremonies; the rising smoke of the lit sticks is believed to enter the energy field of ritual participants to clear misfortune, negative thoughts and to chase away evil spirits. Its use reportedly dates back to the Inca era.
