Art, Nature & Sacred Sage

The Why Of Sacred Sage


Sacred sage was little thought of at the turn of the twentieth century. But the few decades that followed turned our familiar universe upside-down while highlighting conceptual vistas rarely dreamed of for centuries. During those early years of the last century the predominant Western view of how we fit into our universe underwent a sea change. A veritable avalanche of novel and surprising findings from an array of disciplines stunned the public and set even the most complacent citizens on edge. The world was no longer solid or simple; it could no longer be taken for granted or its paradigms filed away in the dusty drawer of common sense. While staid science was riven by quantum theory, relativity, and higher-dimensioned geometry, the art world took its first tentative steps into abstraction, plumbing phantasmagoric revelations from primordial archetypes. Many of the most original thinkers, like Arp, Kandinsky, and Klee became vivid articulators of society’s dawning vision. All agreed that the real processes of creation are the same in art and nature. Hitherto recondite topics like sacred sage suddenly began to acquire a new valence

New Science, New Lifestyle


So radical was this revised understanding that a century later we are still integrating it into our lifestyles. Scientific alchemy had changed our perspective. Vital components of this effort may be observed throughout the globe in ecological movements, New-Age thought, religious eclecticism, and burgeoning respect for traditional forms of Earth-centered spirituality. Both Lucky Six Farms and its land leaseholder Madre Grande Monastery have their roots in this expansive, radiant awareness.

Scents And Sensibility


The White Sage we organically cultivate is a direct product of Nature’s artistry. Taking our cue from her painstaking aesthetic, we craft our essential oils, hydrosols, smudge bundles and cones so that the original purity of the plant spirit is consistently retained and enhanced. As artists working hand-in-hand with Nature, we can confidently promulgate her energizing power even as we share her benevolent intent.

Touching the Authentic Plant Spirit

Earth-Based Spirituality is Closer Than You Think



As many readers are acutely aware, authentic spirituality consists of more than attending weekly get-togethers. More than ever before in recent memory people are becoming aware of their intimate connection to nature and especially to the vibrant world of plants. There is, therefore, a justifiably increasing desire to open meaningful lines of communication with actual plant intelligences, the living plant spirits acknowledged and venerated by virtually all traditional cultures. However, materialistic paradigms offer us no help in this task; in fact, their narrow, reductionist approach to reality often derails even our most valiant efforts. This discourages some. Yet, accessing the profound spirituality of plants has never been easier!

Plant Spirituality is Intertwined with Yours



To efficiently overcome such pervasive conceptual obstacles, we must first reach out to deliberately touch plant spirits in our daily experience. The emotional and intuitive textures of our lives directly underlie who we are and our real relationships to our environment. When we make regular, practical use of a plant's power - and remain fully conscious of our debt to its service - we may begin to hold an authentic dialogue with the ancient, planetary dynamism, the supernal mind, from which that potency arises.

White Sage Spirituality



The ultra-pure products offered by Lucky Six Farms have long provided sensitive individuals and groups with the means to facilitate connection with the true spirit of White Sage. This is a particularly appropriate entity for those who wish to embark on a journey toward greater peace, understanding, and sympathetic resonance with all living things. White Sage expresses itself without interference or mitigation in Lucky Six Farms' product lines because they are produced and processed organically, with deliberate prayerful intention at every step. Soul-numbing industrial methods have been purposefully eschewed in favor of traditional approaches that honor the White Sage Spirit and leave it intact. Why not test this for yourself?
