Sweet grass is the most feminine
herb used for Native American incenses. We also call sweet grass «the hair of the Earth-mother». Like long hair, it is most often seen braided in long plaits. Often, medicine people will burn
sage to clear the air and then sweet grass to attract beneficial energies. It is used as purification but its energies are more of an inviting, welcoming nature. It calls out the best in people
and creates a shoothing, comforting ambiance.Sweet grass has a unique, sweet and very inspiring smell. The braids of sweet grass are often placed over the door of houses, suspended from the rear-view mirror of the automobile or on spiritual objects so that their beneficial energy can protect them. Sweet grass is often used in the weaving of Native American baskets. We find it on the altars and in sacred spaces of all Indian nations. It is used in numerous rites and ceremonies.
