Delicate botanical enchanted pendant inspired by forest folklore and the seeds of the Calocedrus decurrens - California Incense Cedar tree. Calocedrus Decurrens is a large evergreen tree that is native to the west coast of the United States. It is the most popular of four species in its genus that are known as “incense cedar” for their aromatic wood. Indigenous Americans used Incense Cedar for hunting bows, fire making, baskets, brooms, shelter building, and for ceremonial and healing purposes. The leaves are used as a smudging herb to wash out negative energies and as a potpourri. The steam from the boiled bark was also reportedly a traditional remedy for colds, and the wood is very prized as a building material because it is resistant to rot, lightweight, straight-grained and has a uniform texture.
