Auriah Padilla and Rachael Rosenberg
Auriah Padilla is a first generation Colombian-American. With Colombian ancestry there has always been an awareness of the importance of herbs as medicine and the spirit they have. Growing up witnessing cleansing rituals utilizing herbs and oils, the influence of herbal medicines has been a part of her life since birth. As an ex-smoker of tobacco, vapes, and cannabis, she realized how unsustainable and hurtful it was for her health. With a curiosity and passion for alternative holistic healing she sought out a healthier alternative to help her quit her addictions. Thus sacred smokes was born. For Auriah Sacred Smokes symbolizes healthier and holistic way of life for many smokers, and an opportunity to create a more conscious connection to our smoking practices. As well as honor her ancestors and the ancient wisdom of these sacred healing medicines.
Rachael Rosenberg is passionate about eastern medicines and ancient smoking practices that connect us with the spirit world. She is fascinated with the purifying act and healing properties in botanical smoking. Her introduction to herbal smoke came upon reading the earliest written records of smoke cleansing from the vedas. Rachael was fascinated by these ancient Hindu text written in Sanskrit detailing the use of incense as a healing modality. In addition, her background of Judaism lead her to witness smoke as part of ritual that was also important to the ancient Israelites. She believes that plant medicines have been part of our DNA for time immemorial. And by learning about our ancestry can give us access to the botanical world and help us identify with our herbal allies that are aligned with us.
