Pride of Place

Energy Of Land And People

Can energy embody character? Can it embrace an actual persona rather than coarsely quantifiable material quality? Even hard-hearted reductionists grant that energy manifests through a plethora of diverse forms: heat, electricity, sound, torque, nuclear binding, and more. Could there be subtle dimensions as well? Certainly, the idea is not new nor confined to non-Western societies. Oswald Spengler along with many other close observers of history firmly believed that each land, each geographically unique portion of our Earth leaves an indelible psychic mark on its indigenous people, animals, and plants. They held that pieces of the grand mosaic that is our Earth shape the outlook of their long-term residents as thoroughly as they themselves were shaped by pressure of immense geologic forces. The notion may seem quaint and even curious today, but could it possibly contain a grain of truth? Could there be hidden wisdom in the idea that our planet’s many mansions hold a variegated array of energy treasures so special that no two are really the same?

White Sage Energy

We who organically wild-craft and process essential oil, hydrosol, smudge bundles, cones, and whole leaves for Lucky Six Farms often remark how the striking southern California landscape and White Sage reflect the very same purifying energy, so that the two often appear inextricably interlinked. Thus pride of place is an important part of our heritage and that of our products, too.

Compassionate Energy

White Sage is the unmistakably radiant daughter of this austere yet beautiful, sun-soaked space. Those who live and work here feel it clearly. Every peak in our southern California high desert is studded with strangely shaped boulders: the most prominent still bear heroic titles testifying to Native legends long turned to myth. In the midst of this luminous court, the White Sage whorls open their blue-green leaves to an influx of life-giving energy. By sending our products around the world, we hope to share that familiar, compassionate, constructive power.

Back to the Future

Our Holistic View

A holistic perspective on life is, in reality, the most thoughtful and mature. Bombarded by manipulative exhortations to compartmentalize all facets of existence and even ourselves, we forget how to prioritize needs, wants, and goals. For example, our immediate environment carries enormous influence on the way we feel and the work we accomplish. Beautiful surroundings tend to elevate our thoughts and inspire creativity, while ugly areas often lower expectations, arousing anxiety and base instincts. But do such obvious effects imply even more significant connections between the spaces where we live out our lives and the most profound roots of our being? Most of us at Lucky Six Farms would enthusiastically reply in the affirmative. How can we justify such an uncompromisingly holistic approach?

Our Holistic History

We wild-craft authentic White Sage only in the tiny region of the world which is its natural home: the stark, rocky high deserts of extreme southern California and northern Mexico. In the past, remote tribes throughout the Continent sought out White Sage as a rare commodity, exchanging valuable goods to obtain even small amounts. Recent archaeological work has shown human society in these celestially austere White Sage grounds goes back at least ten-thousand years. We didn't have to wait for these findings to be scientifically confirmed, though. Our active continuity with Native American culture is evident every day we walk this land, laboring to bring forth the purifying power which emanates from it and testifies to its heritage.

Our Holistic Products

Lucky Six Farms understands that past and present, ancient wisdom and modern insight, dynamically unite in every one of our products. Our essential White Sage oils, hydrosols, smudge bundles, cones, and whole leaves are as dramatically effective today as they were a hundred centuries ago. Energizing the mind as it calms the body, White Sage is a signal child of this remarkable region of North America. We feel privileged to extend its blessings, venerable as Mother Earth herself, to every corner of today's complex world.
