I have recently lost a good friend. I have turned to the Lakota tradition as a way of finding meaning and processing this loss. I am using this to burn along with lakota music I find this product to be very pleasant smelling and spiritually centering.I'm very pleased! I feel blessed to have found a company that provides authentic Native American products!
