This traditional smudge kit handmade by Jessica Silvey's Indigenous-run weaving studio, Red Cedar Women, contains a beautiful red abalone shell, a Canada Goose feather that has been naturally shed, and medicine plants all gathered from Jessica Silvey's traditional territory. 

Smudging is done by placing plant leaves or stems in a shell or bowl and igniting them with a wooden match. The flames are gently blown out and the smoke which heals the mind, heart, body, and soul is gently fanned over the person with a feather or by hand. Smudging can clear negative energy from rooms and homes and cleanses the space with new, positive energy.

Jessica Silvey is a self-taught Coast Salish Weaver & Fibre Artist of Portuguese descent and of the Silvey Family of Egmont, BC.

Silvey says, "Many of my childhood hours were spent with my paternal Grandmother in the forest. It is my favorite place to be, surrounded by cedar trees and silence. I have learned traditional techniques from research as well as trial and error. I harvest and prepare my own materials. When I am ready to weave, the most time-consuming work has been completed. Weaving is my passion and therapy for my soul."
