Magical Uses:
Sage is often thought of for its cleansing and protective properties due to its popular use as a smudging wand; particularly white sage. Often overlooked are its properties of Health, Clarity and Wisdom. It’s most recognised properties in European tradition were in fact of Immortality and good health. The saying goes; ‘He who would live for aye, Must eat sage in May’ likely this refers to the achievement of a long life as opposed to literal immortality! Like their European cousins Native Americans also recognised its healing properties, believing it was put on the Earth as a healing medicine, a benevolent plant spirit that offered healing energy and wisdom. In medieval Europe sage was thought to strengthen the memory and promote wisdom. This isn’t hard to consider when we look to the element to which it is governed by ; Air. This also shows its connection with wish making.

Often grown in gardens for protection Sage was a staple in the wise folks pantry and found readily grown in their gardens. Because, as an Italian proverb states, “Why should a man die when he has Sage in his garden?” There are a few interesting gardening tips if you do wish to grow your own sage: first, you are not to plant the Sage yourself as it is bad luck, instead a stranger or friend should do the work for you. Second, a full bed of sage is also seen to bring bad luck, so plant the sage with a neighbouring plant.

When considering its cleansing properties it can be used to spiritually cleanse environments, rid the area of old energies and cleanse the aura of a person from stagnant energy. For centuries White Sage has been used as a psychic detox in readiness for ceremonial work.

The genus name Salvia is related to the Latin word salvere, meaning to heal, preserve or redeem. Sage was associated in European traditions with wisdom, long life, and even immortality.
