But Grimsley, what ever else will I use?
ALTERNATIVES
(these are just suggestions)
Rosemary (you can get it in a stick like sage)
Lavender
Dried flowers like Roses, Hibiscus, Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Chamomile, Marigolds, Cornflower, Peony
Rose Hips
Incense (there's a wide variety and easy to make yourself, may be more potent than white sage alone so i would use incense. all you need is makko powder and essential oils and a stick to wrap it all up in)
Essential oils
Black Salt
White Salt
Mugwort
White Willow Bark
Acorns
Cinnamon Sticks
really it all comes down to what you correspond what to what. rosemary can almost totally replace white sage. lets leave the sacred herbs to who they actually belong to.

Salvia microphylla (Blackcurrant sage - var: Hot Lips)
Hot Lips
Salvia microphylla is a small shrub, native to Southeastern Arizona and mountainous areas in Mexico. Like many members of the sage genus, it hybridizes easily and numerous cultivars have been introduced since the 1990′s. This variety, ‘Hot Lips’, won ‘the award of garden merit’ from the Royal Horticultural Society but don’t let that fancy lipstick fool you - there’s a tough little desert plant in it’s genes. ‘Hot Lips’ can be grown in climate zones from 3 to 24. It’s drought-tolerant, rabbits and deer won’t touch it and it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Apart from a sunny spot and a well drained soil, ‘Hot Lips’ is surprisingly low maintenance.
