A Sage is an elderly person of sound judgment,
who has achieved wisdom through reflection and
experience. The term is used for a savant, an expert, a scholar, and a learned philosopher or teacher,
such as Lao-Tzu or Socrates. Sagacity means wisdom, and wise counsel is called “sage advice.” Although Sages are usually considered to be men, Saga was a common Latin term for a Sorceress in the Middle Ages, and some wise women today identify themselves as Sages.
