A Sweetgrass Halo is a circular braid or crown made from the aromatic blades of sweetgrass, a sacred plant revered in many Indigenous cultures of North America. Often worn on the head or hung in a sacred space, it symbolizes unity, divine connection, and spiritual sweetness. The halo shape represents the eternal cycle of life and spirit, making it a powerful tool in ceremony and personal ritual.

Sweetgrass is often used after sage or other cleansing herbs in smudging rituals to invite in positive energy, blessings, and peaceful spirits. While sage clears away negativity, sweetgrass brings in light.

Used as a halo, sweetgrass creates a shield of sacred energy around the wearer, encouraging harmony and shielding from spiritual disturbance.

Sweetgrass halos are often worn by spiritual leaders, energy workers, or participants during important rituals, solstice celebrations, blessings, or rites of passage to honor the sacred and draw in benevolent energy.
To Use:
Wear during meditation, ceremony, or spiritual work. Hang in sacred spaces like altars or doorways to carry the energy of peace and sweetness into the environment. Always treat sweetgrass with reverence—it is considered a living prayer.
