Sage

Gender: Masculine
Planet: Jupiter
Element: Air

Powers: Immortality, Longevity, Wisdom,
Protection, Wishes
Magical 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.
