I picked mine up on Etsy, from a seed and garden shop. You’ll want to look for Salvia apiana, and look for a photo with silvery pointed leaves. Try to stick to shops with good reviews, and keep in mind that this plant has a comparatively low germination rate. So you might plant a bunch of seeds and only see a few sprouts. Also, white sage takes a full year to get properly established, even in a pot.

Here’s a listing that might help.

Do you have any pets? What pets do you want?

We have 5 dogs, hermit crabs, and a bird, but in the past we’ve had a chinese water dragon, an iguana, cats, guinea pigs (normal ones and long-hair ones), ferrets, prarie dogs, a poisonous frog, more birds, fish, hermit crabs, other crabs, shrimp, a sugarglider, a crawfish, etc.

Loaf Bread Recipe

Makes 2 loaves in 9x5 pans

Ingredients

2 Cups warm water

⅔ Cups white sugar

1½ Tablespoons yeast

1½ Teaspoons salt

¼ Cup vegetable oil or melted butter

6 Cups all purpose flour

Directions

Place sugar and water in a bowl, mix together.

Sprinkle with yeast and let dissolve 5-15 minutes. It should get frothy. Add the salt, oil (or butter) and half the flour mix together using a stand mixer or hand mixer.

Add remaining flour. Change to dough hook (or use floured hands) and mix till its pulling away from the sides.

Remove from bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes.

Place in a greased bowl flipping to cover both sides.

Top with saran wrap or damp warm towel

Set aside in draft free area and let rise till doubles in size. About 1 hour.

Remove cover and punch down.

Lay out on lightly floured surface and cut in half.

Flatten out into rectangle and roll into a loaf. Careful not to overwork the dough.

Pinch ends together and place in greased 9x5 bread pan.

Repeat with other half.

Cover and let rise again until double in size (about 30-50 minutes).

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Once double in size, bake for 25-30 minutes.

Remove from oven and brush with butter.

Let rest 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

Sometimes I’ll use smaller pans, which stretches the recipe a bit. You can also add herbs to your flour when making the bread, so this can be adapted to match an intent or a sabbat. Just make sure your herbs are culinary grade!

Happy bread making!
