Spiritual Chemistry

Mundane And Supramundane Power

Can we truly understand the power of a sacred plant? Engineers and scientists strive to get a handle on the notion of power through clearly delineated quantitative measures such as watts and joules. But there is a deep intuitive understanding that real power exists in realms transcending the material. Currently, Lucky Six Farms devotes 100% of its organic wild-crafting and processing efforts to a single plant species, the White Sage (Salvia apiana), which is indigenous only to high-desert regions of southern California and northern Mexico. We do this so we can focus our efforts on upholding the spiritual power of this extraordinary plant.

Power Comes From Concerted Effort

We want our work to be straightforward and unmitigated by superfluous concerns. While we may, in the future, consider cultivation of other similarly beneficial, traditionally sacred vegetation, we make no apologies for the long-standing, singular focus that has established our reputation. The reason? We believe it is far more important to accomplish one task perfectly than several marginally. Because White Sage products have occupied the center of our working lives for decades, we have learned a great deal about not only its spiritual characteristics but its biochemical ones as well. For example, our White Sage contains liberal quantities of unusual pentacyclic triterpenes, fascinating, highly bioactive agents that have only recently garnered scientific attention for their immune-boosting power.

Perceiving White Sage Power

Of course, Lucky Six Farms makes no medically-related claims of any kind for our lines of organic, ultra-pure White Sage essential oils, hydrosols, smudge wands and cones, or whole leaves. But it is interesting to note that all indigenous tribes of the American Southwest have viewed this plant as intrinsically wholesome, healthful, and profoundly purifying. Our customers also share this perception. I personally believe a golden kernel of truth informs such strong, traditional perspectives.
