Sweet Grass
Hierochloe odorata
We are introducing our very own homegrown Sweet Grass braids for the very first time at Strange Folk Festival 2014. Also known as Buffalo Grass, Holy Grass, Manna Grass, and Vanilla Grass; Hierochloe odorata has been used as a smudging incense by many indigenous North American people. The smoke is used to lift prayers towards the heavens, for purification, and for keeping away both bugs and evil spirits. Various other medicinal and ritualistic uses have been reported across both the new and old worlds. We find that it gives off a very pleasant fragrance when hung in our closets. Our Sweet Grass was freshly harvested this September.
