Witchcraft & White Sage

Witchcraft & White Sage

Clearing blockages and negative energies are constant challenges to every witch who wants to keep their mind and living space purified. Use White Sage smudge bundles, burn them during ritual cleansing.

You can also boil sage for purifying baths or use its cleansing magic in purifying spells. It is an ideal way to use White Sage in smoking your crystals and magical tools from any negative spirits that may have inhabited them.

GRANTING WISHES

Witches or not, we all have wishes we want to come true. Whether we wish for a new love to come, success, or good health, it is truly fitting to count on nature’s wish-granting endowment.

Writing your wish on a sage leaf and sleeping with it under your pillow for three days will help you turn these wishes into reality. Burying it in the backyard will release your intentions to the greater realms.

MENTAL CLARITY

With all the things that are happening in today’s time, staying away from stress and toxicity is never easy. Tuck a White Sage leaf behind your ear to call in wisdom and sharp decision-making skills.

Add sage to mojo bags or drink sage tea to heal exhausting emotions and spiritual disquiet. Keep your mind balanced by pinching off a fresh sprig from the garden and let it dry on the altar to invite a quiet mental atmosphere.

LOVE

When you find yourself trapped in an unhealthy cycle of relationship with someone who is not the right person for you, burn some White Sage every night next to a photo of the person until your desire wanes. White Sage can also be used as an incense to attract the person you like and lit a fire to kickstart your romance.

PROTECTION

Wearing masks and other protective gear may not be enough to keep yourself secured from harmful things. White Sage is also a powerful protective herb. Wear a horn full of Sage to protect you from the evil eye or burn it to dispel negative energy that may bring bad luck or illnesses to your home and family members.
