S9 Ep 8 Sage Secrets, Wisdom, Healing & Folklore
In this episode of the My Slice of Life podcast, we explore the rich folklore of sage - a herb steeped in history, healing, and a little bit of magic.
From ancient Roman medicine to medieval superstition, sacred smudging rituals to modern-day herb gardens, sage has long been valued as a symbol of wisdom, protection, and renewal.
Whether you grow sage in your garden, use it in the kitchen, or simply love the stories behind everyday plants, this gentle journey into the past and present of sage is full of curiosity and calm.
So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let’s explore the herb of wisdom together.
