In this episode of Herbal Witchery we explore the magickal herb sage.  A member of the mint family, sage is a beautiful herb which takes on a blue-greenish hue due to the silver down which covers its leaves. We will be looking at sage's associations with wisdom and immortality,  fertility, and  healing. We'll also look at sage's medicinal and culinary uses throughout the ages, and I'll put my two cents in on the sometimes heated topic of smoke cleansing with sage vs. smudging  with White Sage. I'll finish the episode as always, with the magickal properties of sage and a suggested recipe in which you can use the herb! Recipe: Tortellini with Brown Butter and SageWebsite: http://www.lavendermoonteas.comCheck out my Enchanted Herbal Teas: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LavenderMoonTeas————————————————————————————————Intro & Outro Music:Midnight Tale by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4710-midnight-taleLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode, we move on to card VI, The Lovers. First we explore the traditional meanings of this this card having to do with love, soul ties, and relationships. We'll look at the imagery on the Rider-Waite version and how it ties into the story of Adam and Eve, and how this give us many nuanced themes in the love department. Then, we'll look at the relationship of Lilly & James Potter; how they represent the Lovers card, and also how their relationship can give us a deeper insight into what it means to be 'soulmates' or in love.  As always, I end with some thoughtful questions about  James & Lilly's relationship through the lens of the Lovers, as well as questions you can ask yourself when the Lovers card comes up in a reading.
