Looks like there are a half dozen or so grasses that go by the
moniker, "Buffalo Grass." The one I have some contact with is the
longer stem variety known to me as "Sweet Grass," in its dried form.
Ive usually gotten it from Native Americans, it is woven in a tight
"pigtail' and we use it home in casual cleansing rituals. (That puts
too formal a cast on what we do) I rough up the end, light it and
slowly twirl it in a swinging motion so the smoke spreads, and do a
little chant. I know of others who use it the same way, not some big
religious thing or anti christian, its just something you run into
occasionally among folks, sometimes combined with gift giving,
farewells, blessings etc. It smells good.

We use it for a variety of reasons./
The smoke smells nice
It is quite cleansing for the senses and the soul
We also use Sage
