Every year my #whitesage crowns. This weekend I will plant two more. #Garden

The #fire is burning very steady now. I brought my big #WhiteSage #SmudgeStick - it's more like a baton - to honour the ancestors fire 🔥

Moving bad energy out of my Dad’s house (my brother did some laughable foolishness) & helping any remnants of spirit move on today. #witch #WhiteSage #PaloSanto #deathwalking

#Bloomscrolling Salvia apiana (White Sage) #whiteSage #sage

Hey, #Witches, it's time to stop using #endangered #WhiteSage.

Between white people appropriating like crazy, and CA wildfires killing the plants and their entire ecosystems, it's time this plant ceased being everyone's go-to for magickal work.

"... Due to the illegal over-harvesting of Saliva apiana in recent years in combination with increased, devastating wild fires on White Sage lands in Southern California, concern for the commercialized harvesting and distribution of White Sage grows as the wild populations of this species shrink in size.

Many Native American communities are requesting at this time that non-native peoples stop harvesting this plant from the wild altogether. As Native Americans have been the caretakers of this plant and the lands it grows on for countless generations, it is important that everyone respect and honor their request."
