Used in sachets and amulets
for all healing wishes.
Burned or placed near a personal object

Especially good when moving into a new home.

Use when meditating.
Sage has been utilized to ensure a long life
---sometimes even immortality.
This os done by eating part of the plant everyday,
or at least in May, for;
'He who would live for aye
Must eat sage in May.'
Sage is carried to promote wisdom.
Leaves are used
in countless healing and money spells.
To guard yourself against contracting the dreaded
'evil eye' wear a small horn filled with sage.
there are a few curious gardening tips conserning sage;
first, it is bad luck to plant sage in your own garden.
A stranger should be found to do the work.
Second; a full bed of sage brings ill luck,
so ensure some other plants shares the lot.
Incidentaly, toads love sage.
If you desire to make a wish come true,
write it on a sage leaf and hide it beneath your pillow.
For three nights sleep upon it.
If once you dream of what you desire
your wish will be materialized;
If not, bury the sage in the ground
so that you do not come to harm.
