Use as an incense, for smudging or for purification. Long utilized to ensure long life, sometimes even immortality. "He who would live for aye, Must eat sage in May" as the old saying goes. Carried to promote wisdom and used in money spells. A sage plant outside your door keeps negativity away and protects against sickness. It is bad luck to plant sage in your own garden so find someone else to grow it for you, or sow it wild. But, a full bed of sage is also ill of luck, so ensure that some other plants share the plot. To wish on sage, write your desire on a leaf and hide it beneath your pillow, sleeping on it for three nights. If you dream even once of what you desire your wish will materialize. If not, bury the sage in the ground so that you do not come to harm.
