Ethically and individually sourced elements to cleanse, heal and protect your spirit from everyday chaos. Unique ritual kits for inspiration, purification and wellbeing — by Shamanka, created by the artist Vittoria Colonna as part of the LOVE SHAMANKA universe.

Shamanka's Emergency Purification Kit

Imagine having a magic wand that makes bad vibes vanish with a simple poof! That's the power of smudging. For centuries, cultures and Indigenous peoples around the world have burned sacred herbs such as sage and palo santo to cleanse and purify people, spaces and objects. When we smudge, it's like saying: goodbye, negativity — hello, positive energy!

The Kits

Each SOS herb bundle is a unique, bespoke art piece — crafted in various sizes and colours and adorned with surprise elements. Every kit unites the four elements: Earth (herbs) · Air (feather) · Fire (when lit) · Water (crystal or shell).

Californian Sage · Dragon's Blood Sage · Lavender · Palo Santo · Californian Sage & Turkey Feather · Palo Santo & White Feather · Palo Santo & Moot Feather

Smudge like a Shamanka

Open — Choose a safe place, open the windows and set up your smudging tools.

Intention — Focus on your purpose: clearing energy, promoting healing and finding peace.

Ignite — Unwrap the coloured strings and light your SOS herb with a candle, match or lighter, allowing it to smoulder and release smoke.

Meditate — Take deep breaths, concentrating on positive energy as the smoke rises and grounds you.

Cleanse — Gently "wash" your hands in the rising smoke, washing away any negativity in your words, sight and hearing. With your feather or hand, waft the smoke around your aura, especially your heart, and gently under your feet.

Reflect — Deepen your meditation. Focus on your heart, embracing peace and clarity.

Gratitude — Thank the herb, the elements and any guides you work with. You may now smudge another person and the space around you.

Close — Extinguish your smudge stick in a fireproof container. Take a moment to ground yourself and carry this peace forward.

Safety — because even a Shamanka's gotta be careful

Open flames: fire is your friend — keep it that way, and extinguish your herbs when you're done. Fireproof container: always use a fireproof bowl to catch ashes. Ventilation: keep windows open. Supervision: never leave your tools unattended. Children & pets: keep tools out of reach. Be prepared: keep water nearby, just in case things get a little too hot to handle.

Be wise, smudge safely, and keep those good vibes flowing!

Purifica come una Shamanka

Apri — Scegli un luogo sicuro, apri le finestre e prepara i tuoi strumenti. Intenzione — Concentrati sul tuo scopo: purificare l'energia, guarire, trovare la pace. Accendi — Sciogli i fili colorati e accendi il tuo SOS con una candela o un fiammifero, lasciandolo bruciare lentamente. Medita — Respira profondamente mentre il fumo si alza e ti radica. Purifica — "Lava" le mani nel fumo e diffondilo intorno alla tua aura, soprattutto sul cuore e sotto i piedi. Rifletti — Accogli pace e chiarezza attraverso il respiro. Gratitudine — Ringrazia gli elementi e le tue guide. Chiudi — Spegni lo smudge stick in un contenitore ignifugo.

Usa sempre una ciotola ignifuga, tieni le finestre aperte, non lasciare mai gli strumenti incustoditi e tienili lontano da bambini e animali. Sii saggia e lascia fluire le buone vibrazioni!
