Sage

Sage is one of the most widely used herbs in witchcraft and Wicca, renowned for its powerful purification and protection properties. Often referred to as a "sacred" herb, sage is essential in cleansing spaces, objects, and people from negative energies, making it a staple in smudging rituals and energy clearing practices. Its spiritual cleansing qualities help create a harmonious environment, allowing for better focus during rituals and heightened spiritual awareness.

Linked to the element of Air and the planet Jupiter, sage also carries strong associations with wisdom, abundance, and growth. It is used to enhance divination, mental clarity, and intuitive abilities, making it ideal for meditation and psychic work. Additionally, sage is considered a powerful herb for protection against malevolent forces, evil spirits, or curses.

Whether burned as incense, used in bundles for smudging, or added to protective sachets, sage serves as a versatile tool in a witch’s or practitioner’s magical arsenal. Its deep connection to both physical and spiritual purification makes sage an invaluable herb for any practitioner seeking to clear negativity, protect their space, and invite positive energy into their life.
