Sage Cleanse

After a collision, a death in the family, an estate purchase, a difficult breakup, or simply when something feels wrong about your vehicle — the Sage Cleanse is the ritual of releasing what's lingering. White sage, palo santo, salt, intention, and time. Done in our bay or yours.

What's Included

Pre-cleanse conversation about what's been happening
White sage smoke through every door, vent, and trunk
Palo santo for the dashboard and steering wheel
Salt water mist on door jambs and threshold points
Optional: a small protective sigil on the underside of a floor mat
A few minutes of silence at the end, with you present if you wish

✦The Companion Ritual

The Home Cleanse

A self-performed cleansing for between professional cleanses, or for vehicles that just need light tending. Suitable for any car, any time, any practitioner — beginner included.

What You'll Need

A small bundle of white sage (or palo santo, or rosemary if those are unavailable)
A heat-safe dish to hold the burning herb
A glass of cool water with a pinch of salt
A clean cloth
Open windows in the vehicle and a fire-safe space outdoors

The Working

Park the vehicle outside in a fire-safe area. Open all four doors and any sunroof. Take everything personal out of the cabin.
Light the sage. Let the flame burn fully out — you want smoke, not fire. Hold the dish under the smoldering bundle to catch any embers.
Walking clockwise around the vehicle, let the smoke move into each open door. Use your free hand to gently waft it across the seats, the dashboard, the foot-wells. Speak as you go — out loud or in your mind: 'What does not serve, leave. What is heavy, lift. What is not mine, return.'
Don't forget the trunk. The trunk holds more energy than people realize.
When you've gone all the way around, dip the cloth in the salt water. Wipe the steering wheel, the gearshift, the door handles, and the rearview mirror. These are the touch-points — the parts of the car that feel you most.
Close the doors. Let the vehicle sit for at least an hour with everything closed before driving.

If anything feels stuck or persistent — if the same heaviness keeps returning — that's our cue to do a deeper cleanse together. Some things need an outside hand. There's no shame in calling.
