Featured Herb: Copal

Keywords: Cleansing, Purify, Love, Exorcism

White Copal is one of my favorite herbs to use as a incense. It does great at uplifting the energy 

within your sacred space and home. Not only does copal diminish negative energies, 

it also consecrates objects and the space around you. It can be used to smudge athames, 

candles and crystals. Copal is also used in protection and purification incense. 

In addition to these properties listed, Copal has also been known to be used in love spells and exorcisms as well. Copal comes in a black hue as well.

Featured Herb: Devil's Shoestrings

Keywords: Protection, Gossip, Luck

Devil's Shoestrings (Nolina lindheimeriana) is quite a useful herb to keep in your stash of goodies. This herb is shrub like and is harvested in the warmer months. It shouldn't be consumed as it can be poisonous to the body and also should not be used as an incense as fumes can be toxic.

Now, onto the important stuff (jk, IT'S POISONOUS GUYS, avoid consumption). Devil's Shoestrings is a protection and luck herb. You can throw it in protection sachets or use the powdered form for protection powders. This herb also is great for job and employment advancements. When going on job interviews or when requesting a raise, keep a branch in your pocket, maybe dressed with dragon's blood to spruce it up to your desire. Also known as a "Shut Up" herb. It can be used to end gossip and slanderous talk about someone. Place this herb near your door to "trip up" the devil and any evil attempting to come your way.

Featured Herb - Rue/Ruda

Keywords: Protection, Jinx Breaking, Hex Removal, Cleansing, Evil Eye Removal

Rue is a favorite of mine. It is highly protective against evil and black works. It is used in various cleansing rituals and baths, some of which are featured in the Lilith's Seventh's store. It's scientific name is Ruta graveolens and is also known as the Herb of Grace. Rue is to not be consumed internally as it can cause gastric discomfort and other complications. Some people are found to be allergic to its oil.

Rue is a very powerful herb to use against the Evil Eye. It will turn the red eye blue and break any hexes or crosses present.

Ritual hint: To break and banish a hex placed on you, I recommend that a bath be taken with Rue. To get the best result with this herb, lightly boil Rue for 9 minutes. strain the water and let cool. You want to take this water along with a empty container to the tub with you. Pour the water over your head, letting some fall into the empty container which you have placed below you. While doing this you are imaging the evil leaving from you, you are imaging you luck turning good and banishing any other blocks that may have come upon you.
Take this caught water and throw it towards the sunrise while saying a meaningful and relevant psalm. Turn your back to the water thrown and go to clean your tub with sea salt.

Peace & Blessings
