The Origin of sacred Plants
As the four sons of the FIRST PEOPLE wandered to each of the directions, they were each given teachings and gifts.
The Darkness or the NORTH of sweetgrass and explained the "SWEETGRASS" is braided like hair because it is hair of Mother Earth and the first plant to grow upon her.
The smoke of the sweetgrass will keep evil ways from your home and will keep you safe on your travels.
The Doorkeeper of the EAST, the source of all knowledge, gave another son the Gift, "TOBACCO". It is put in a sacred fire. It made thoughts visible and carries them to the Spirit World.
The THIRD son visited the land of birth and growth in the SOUTH as the Doorkeeper placed a hand full of HERBS into the fire he said this is "CEDAR", used to purify your body from disease and protest you from harm.
The FOURTH son crossed great mountains to reach the WEST. There he gave "SAGE" to purify people and their surroundings and help maintain good HEALTH.
