Magickal Uses

Sage has been utilized to ensure a long life -- sometimes even immortality. This is done 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 tips 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. Incidentally, 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.
