Magickal Methodologies

• Fresh or dried Clary Sage can be used whole on the altar or workspace during meditation or other workings.
• Dried Clary Sage, especially the flowers, can be added to mojo or charm bags and then carried with you to enhance clarity A couple of drops of the essential oil can also be added.
• Clary Sage essential oil can be added to a simmer pot or to the top of a candle to perfume the workspace or during meditation to seek clarity about a situation or about another person.
• Float fresh Clary Sage flowers in a bowl of water and then place on an altar with other flowers to enhance clarity and inner vision.
• Make a Clary Sage infusion and then use the infusion to paint on a small piece of parchment paper or runestock to enhance a working that involves revealing truth. For example, paint the infusion on a piece of runestock (or parchment paper rolled into a small scroll) prior to creating a bindrune to carry with you in situations where you need to know the truth or become aware of deception.
