Uh, having lived in the Land Where Hippies Never Grew Up (Eugene, Oregon),
I have to say sage is usually burnt to cover the smell of pot smoke. It is
a fast way to make me really sick (headache, nausea). Not to mention that I
have seen mention of incense and boiling herbs for medicinal purposes, but
I don't believe I have ever come across a reference to burning sage in a
period mss.
