Cedar and Lavender: A Clearing Pairing with Deep Roots
Smoke has served ceremonial clearing purposes across cultures for thousands of years, and few plant pairings have a longer combined track record than cedar and lavender. Cedar is valued for its resinous smoke and consistent association with protection and driving out unwanted presences. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) carries a parallel history of being burned to calm the mind and define sacred space.
Auric Blends’ Escential Essences Purification formula brings these two together in a fragrance incense blend that reads as coherent rather than competing. Cedar leads with an assertive clearing quality, grounding and protective; lavender follows with calm and settled clarity. That sequential progression is exactly what you want in a purification incense: first the clearing, then the peace. The scent is dry and herbal rather than sweet or floral, which keeps it appropriate for serious ritual work rather than just ambient home fragrance.
Practical Use and the Case for the Bulk Format
Before casting a circle, one stick of Purification incense is often lit first while walking the perimeter of the working space, directing smoke into corners and along walls. Before candle or petition work, similar clearing is done to leave the space free of lingering negativity. Aura cleansing and chakra work use purification incense to clear the practitioner’s personal energy field before meditation or healing sessions.
These are fragrance-based incense sticks prepared with cosmetic-grade oils made in the USA. The 95-100 stick bulk format is the right choice for anyone who burns Purification incense as part of a daily or near-daily practice, for shops that stock it regularly, or for practitioners who lead group rituals and clearing ceremonies. A standard stick holder is required. For the full Escential Essences line and incense tools, browse my Escential Essences incense collection.
How to Use Purification Incense for Space Clearing
A three-step process for clearing a room, aura, or ritual space with Purification incense sticks.
- Set up your holder and name your clearing intention
Place a stick incense holder on a stable, heat-safe surface. Before lighting, pause and state clearly what you are clearing: a room after conflict, your own aura before ritual, stagnant energy in a workspace, or the space before a group gathering.
- Light the stick and move through the space
Touch the tip to a flame until it catches, blow gently to a smolder, then walk slowly through the area you are purifying. Direct the cedar and lavender smoke into corners, doorways, and any areas that feel heavy.
- Close and reset the space intentionally
Press the tip against a fireproof surface to extinguish the stick. State a simple closing: that the space is now clear and sealed. Store unused sticks in the sealed package to preserve the cedar and lavender scent.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I keep Purification in the bulk format because cedar and lavender is a classic clearing pairing, and practitioners who incorporate it consistently need steady supply. This incense is meant for frequent use rather than occasional use, and the bulk pack reflects that.
