Place the sage leaves in a small bowl or mug and pour the boiling water over them. Use a wooden spoon to muddle the leaves slightly, then allow to steep for 3 minutes. Remove the leaves from the water and discard the leaves. Stir in the honey into the water until dissolved.
Place the blackberries into a blender with the honey-sage water and the lemon juice and puree. Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer, stirring and pressing with a spatula to press the liquid out. You should wind up with about 2 cups of strained puree. Discard the seeds.
Divide the blackberry puree among 6 pop molds. Insert a wooden stick into each and place in the freezer for at least 5 hours.
