"Sage is a ceremonial tool used by many Native American tribes. Negative ions attach to the smoke particles and are cleared as they drift away. It is a powerful cleansing tool, and I felt it both good and necessary to cleanse the energies of the war cabinet, so space is made for energies of peace." H McClure Chalut
