What is the magical property of Sage?

Question

I've read about it once a long time ago, or heard of it from someone, but I forgot. Does it even have any magical use or...you don't even have to call it magic, but just superstitious?

Answer 1

If there is negativity, burning white sage acts as a cleanser

Answer 2

Sage (Salvia Officinalis)

Folk Names: Garden Sage, Red Sage, Savage
Gender: Masculine
Planet: Jupiter
Element: Air

Powers: Immortality, Longevity, Wisdom, Protection,
Wishes

Magical Uses: Sage has been uilized to ensure a long life -
sometimes even immortality. This is doen by eating some of the plant every day, or at least in May, for:

He who would live for aye
Must eat sage in May

Sage is carried to promote wisdom, and the 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 tops concerning 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 that some other plant shares the plot. Incedentally, 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 don not come to harm.

Answer 3

Every herb and plant has different properties that affect the human body in different ways. Sage oil is good as a muscle cramp relaxer in seconds when applied directly. It's good internally in small amounts mixed with water, as a detoxifier, I think it is.

Answer 4

Sage cleanses and purifies ....rids a house or space or object or person of negative energy.

Answer 5

It's a good banisher, from what I remember of studying witchcraft/herbal folklore.

Answer 6

Sage when taken internally can control flatulence (farting). Now that's magic.

Answer 7

It's what I smudge/cleanse my house with. It gets rid of negative/bad energy, etc...
