hey everyone
Just wondering if you can recommend the best type of sage for spiritual cleansing, particularly for warding off spirits. Looking for something relatively cheap but hopefully still good quality!
thanks

Will you grow it in the ground or in a container?
the ground, definitely
I wouldn't expect one to be any more efficacious than the other.
Salvia officinalis (Culinary sage) is likely to be the most reasonably priced.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
is there any science based facts that support any sage " warding off spirits"?
Hostafan
clearly that should have read ARE there any...... tsk @self
I thought that was garlic.
Oh Lyn, Garlic is for vampires, Sage is for warding off unwanted spirits, I thought everyone would know that.
I would go for the culinary sage, that way if it doesn't ward of the unwanted spirits I would still get to eat the rest of it any way.
I can honestly say that in the last two years of growing sage and garlic, I've had no trouble with vampires or spirits. They do not work for cats though even if some people think they are spirits too.
I would recommend the following spell:
Casting Instructions for 'To Ward off un-wanted spirits Spell'
Start off by of course purifying yourself. Everyone has their own way of purifying themselves but I would suggest creating a source of light around you with energy. This is because hostile spirits will try their best to stop you from doing your duty. So, after you are purified and your mind is clear on the task at hand, burn the bundle of sage. Wave the bundle of sage gently at each corner of the effected area, allow the smoke to creep in and drive out the spirits. Once all the corners have been purified, you may extinguish the bundle of sage. Next, go to each corner (which has been sagged) and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Now, take your saucer(s) and pour equal amounts of salt and water inside. Place the saucer/bowl under neath a bed, chair, couch, or stand (underneath something that is in use a lot), this works as a one-way portal to keep hostile spirits at bay and keeps your space clean. Last! Light the white candle and set in an area where it won't catch anything on fire. Concentrate on the flame and cast this spell:
"Beings of Light, far and wide,
This spell I cast shall not un-tie,
With Sage, Salt, Water, and Light,
I banish this evil from my sight"
- Blessed Be
Now let the candle burn it's self out. The saucers of water should evaporate into the air at a certain amount of time, once that is done you may remove them as well (that can take weeks) but your space is just clean. Letting the water evaporate is more of an insurance policy.
NOTE: Remember, any spirits that remain are not harmful to you so do not try to expel them, consequences may come.

Though I try to welcome all spirits to my garden, if not inside my head.
