Hello, I just have a question about white sage.
I was born, raised and currently live in Australia. White sage is not native here. I am a white Australian with British and European background and I was wondering if it is okay to use white sage. I don’t wish to appropriate and participate in closed practices but I’ve seen metaphysical shops in Australia selling white sage and I’m just curious about it. Thanks!
Hi, thank you so much for reaching out and asking questions to a native practitioner. This is an answer that’s gonna vary from native to native, my answer is No, you as a non native may not use white sage. It’s endangered and used in our scared rituals and 90% of white sage being sold in metaphysical shops around the world is being harvested unethically. That being said here are something things you can use in place of white sage; Cedar, rosemary, and regular garden sage work all the same, you can even use incense. Thnks for the ask ;)
