Paula says - "If you'd like to use one of these bags as a medicine bag or to hold a totem or special item, you can untie the lacing at the top of the bag, open the bag, remove the sage and put your item in the bag."

Each Sage Bag is handmade from deer skin and stuffed with silver sage from the Black Hills, which has a sweeter smell than most sage. Sage pleases the spirits and is used for healing and to drive out negativity. Sage neck bags are traditionally worn continuously under the shirt with respect and for protection.
