I am used to carrying white sage with me when I stay overnight outside. Last March, when I was a volunteer at the Permaculture Village, I burned some white sage in the girls’ dormitory in the evening of the first day and fumigated every corner. A French girl came in, smelled it and said, "What a strange smell, do you smell it?" The scent of wormwood by the wall caught my eye and she replied, "There were so many mosquitoes, so I burned some white sage." The other girl tilted her head and smelled it again and said, "I don't like this smell!"
Never realized that scents are shared.
The next day at noon, I sneaked to the herb garden to pick some rosemary and basil, and put them next to my pillow. Only then did I feel a little more at ease. Then, during my first long vacation (actually only two days), I traveled a long way back to the workshop to make a holy wood necklace for myself. After the vacation, I returned to the eco-village. Every day, the holy wood necklace accompanied me. The faint fragrance always made me feel good. Later, the sacred wood necklace replaced the white sage in the space where one lived (or slept) with others.

Hanging it around your neck, you can smell the light woody sweet fragrance unique to the holy wood. When you can't burn sacred herbs or share space with others, let it protect you!
●Size and working days
｜The hand-cut Peruvian sacred wood pendant measures approximately 2.3cm x 1.3cm. Each piece has slightly different wood grain and color, making each one unique.
｜It takes about 15 working days from ordering to delivery. Thank you for your patience in waiting for a special gift.
●Two specifications to choose from
| Classic thin chain: MD wear style, thickness about 0.7mm, 42cm + 2.5cm extension chain (total length 44.5cm).
｜Neutral cross chain: For you with a neutral style, the thickness is about 1.8mm, 45cm + 2.5cm extension chain (total length 47.5cm)
In the past year, I received many messages asking if thin chains are too delicate, and whether they can be replaced with slightly longer and thicker chains. So I chose another chain that is also suitable for the Peruvian holy wood pendant. It is 3cm longer and can be worn at the chest position, which has a more neutral style. I hope it will meet your different dressing needs: )
●About Peruvian Holy Wood Necklace
Q: How long does the smell of the holy wood last and will it disappear?
A: The aroma of holy wood is permanent and will not disappear unless it is overwhelmed by another scent, such as applying perfume on holy wood. But as long as the wood that absorbs the perfume is polished off, the scent of the holy wood will still remain.
Q: Can I touch water or take a shower while wearing it?
A: You can touch water, take a bath, or exercise. However, it is recommended to press the wood dry when wiping your body.
Q: How to maintain it on a daily basis?
A: The color of wood will darken due to frequent wearing, which is similar to the concept of "nurturing wood". For example, some people will regularly apply oil to wooden bracelets for maintenance. However, since this necklace is made into a necklace, the chest will produce more oil than the wrist, so it does not need special maintenance as long as it is worn properly.
