The First memories of my desert childhood were of stones, arrowheads, and seashells; Spirits too: running Cholla, Palo Verde and his thorns, Coyote Just-passing-through. Though I left my first desert home, I learned that rituals with plants and stones 'bring us home' to the Spirit of Lands that are special to us.
I have collected rocks and fossils since I can remember. Iron containing minerals drew me first at age four pulling a magnet tied a string: I became hopelessly obsessed with iron filings!
Over the years, I have enjoyed friendship and mentoring from Yaqui, Cherokee, and Tibetan teachers. I learned to harvest Sacred Plants, and began to wild-craft ceremonial incense blends from desert and mountain sages. This helped me remain connected to the spirits of sacred lands, as well as a way to celebrate the Sacred in the everyday.
I am a poet, biologist/naturalist, and enjoy indigenous traditions of many lands and cultures. This shop enables me to keep my fingers in the dirt, planting offering sage gardens to local spirits; and sharing sacred earth treasures with others. I personally believe that sacred plants keep us connected to Earth and Spirit through Ceremony.
I grow some varieties of sages for smudge blends, native to Northern California, and work with professionals for the rest. Occasionally I get help from students, family, but mostly this is a one-woman shop! When out collecting and gathering in the wider world, dog Chula is my protector.

Our Vision and purpose here at Sacred land Sage, is guided by a Native American story that tells of the early days of creation. One day, humans did something that caused much imbalance to themselves, and pain to their animal and plant brothers and sisters. Council was called. In the story, plant spirits told Creator that they would commit from that day forward, to helping humans by offering their lives as medicine for healing and well-being; to help humans find and keep a balanced view and good relations in the world.
By offering sages indigenous to North, Central, and South America with a long tradition of Sacred use- our mission is to provide a variety of special plants and stone ideal for small, daily rituals that hold potential to bring Balance, Joy, and Peace to ourselves and positive energies to our spaces~ every day! Tara Linda has been collecting ceremonial sages and making smudge blends for over 25 years. She conducted house blessings for 20 years, and now grows our Black Salvia, formulates all blends and smudge sprays. Tara is a Certified Crystal Therapist and Coaches in meditation practice. She is a student of oracles and is available for a variety of consultations to further guide your ritual. |
