Seima hemp has been used in Shinto rituals since ancient times. It is a sacred plant, said to be an "antenna" or "yorishiro" (a vessel for spirits) to connect with the gods. It possesses a unique vibration and, since ancient times, has been believed to ward off impurities that water and salt cannot cleanse, bringing good fortune. It is said to purify oneself, cleanse a space, align energy, release stagnant energy, and attract a good flow. ⚫︎Good Luck Charms⚫︎Room Decorations⚫︎For Meditation Sweeping with it like a broom purifies negative energy and spreads the vibration of the seima hemp. It is also recommended for purifying objects, as a hemp decoration in your room, or for cleaning your kamidana (Shinto altar). Decorating it at the entrance is said to ward off evil spirits, and brushing it against the body promotes relaxation of the mind and body. Decorating it in a room is said to purify the air and create a comfortable space. It can also be used to purify accessories and power stones. ※For those who purchase multiple seima hemp decorations: Seima hemp earrings or a pair of earrings will be gifted.
