Harvesting Sage
I found some sage in the wild while hiking and harvested some of it. Not the whole plant. When I told someone who I later found out is native American they seemed to have a problem with me harvesting it and said it was disrespectful.
I don't use it just for something to burn, I use it sometimes in meditation and to cleanse the house of bad energy.
I said a prayer before I took some.
I don't know the native American guidelines but I did what I felt was right.
But still this woman said it was disrespectful and that I wrongfully took it from the earth.
I will admit I don't know much about native American spirituality.
Did I wrongully harvest the sage?
