2006-10) June 7: Cleansing, Blessing, and Protection Spells

MISS CAT: You're never done with spiritual cleansing any more than physical cleaning, even if you don't have any particular enemies.

SINDY: Coming back from a retreat where I absorbed a lot of other women's "stuff" I dropped a little Florida Water into my mop water. About halfway through, I got *so happy* - everything just "whooshed" out the front of the house. My 1st time using Florida Water this way.

MISS CAT: Scent guides people in their work; what uplifts you may repel others or leave them cold.

SINDY: The day before I had put a couple drops of Florida Water in fresh water for the glasses on my boveda. Found beautiful silk altar cloth owned by mother-in-law (who has passed on). It was in a place I've never looked before. I felt like I had been blessed and gotten her protection after that cleansing.

BEATRICE: Suppose a bedridden person (fever or pneumonia, say) needs a cleansing?

DR. KIONI: A Florida Water rub is one solution. Cleansing incense such as tobacco and a little camphor – wave from head to toe, side to side (client is spread-eagled on bed); will bring physical relief also. Eggs, camphor squares can be placed in room.

DARA: Cleanse body with egg in shell. Also use white sage or cedar.

MISS CAT: Or pine needles.

DARA: For incense. DO open window or door! Those plants carry away the bad stuff and it needs a way OUT.

MISS CAT: If someone is ill and hires a housecleaner, they can supply *very special* cleaning products. Pray over the bottle of, say, Chinese Wash before handing it over. You can always put the product in a different bottle if you don't want people to know what it is.

MS. ROBIN : Burn dragon's blood incense or frankincense. Ring silver bells. Spread Blessed Salt around bed, around house.

DARA: Dry skin brushing; smoke the brush or dip it in something and let it dry; a very gentle brush such as you'd use on a baby's skin.

QUEEN MABULLA: Soak their hands or feet in a cleansing bath, or dampen a cloth an pat their heads with it.

EOGHAN: Cuban traditions (and other Latin American): bunches of fresh herbs, add a little water, and use that for a rubdown; I like to use fresh basil this way.

DARA: I like mint, too.

QUEEN MABULLA: Yeah, I mix the two together.

MISS CAT: My grandmother cooked with large amounts of basil – it's cleansing to eat it – FRESH basil. She used it almost as if it was a vegetable. Can also sprinkle dry basil on kitchen floor and sweep it out door.

EOGHAN: Wonderful incense too; nice sweet smoke. Paleros say: "With a candle and a bunch of basil, you can change the world."

SINDY: What's your favorite "first shot out of the gate" cleansing recommendation for new client?

MISS CAT: 3-ingredient bath or Uncrossing bath crystals in water, rubbing downward. Add a little of the used bathwater to mop water which includes Chinese wash. Work back to front top to bottom. Mark corners of doors and windows with SEPARATE protection forumula oil. Toss out water, then bless house with formulas or herbs to draw in whatever you want, like cinnamon and sugar to draw love and money or salt to protect.

ROBIN: Chinsese wash; step between candles; clean house with sprayer. Sweep floors with new broom UP and OUT – NOT back and forth. Dilute Florida Water for door frames, knobs, and crossmarks on doors. Sugar-cane and bamboo leaves if you can get them. Light a white blessing candle.

EOGHAN: Start with baths – a variety of useful herbs, varies by case. Florida Water combined with appropriate herbs. Anoint windows and doors with an oil. Salt mixture at doors.

QUEEN MABULLA: Throw stuff away – symbolically gets them started. Bath and house-cleaning; ingredients decided during reading. Cleansing/protection at four exterior corners of apt. building or house, and at 4 corners of block they live on – but the throwing away kick-starts everything.

DARA: Yes, I noticed that after I bought a shredder.

I recommend ammonia down drains, to clean windows, every surface that can stand it. Camphor squares in room, in cabinets, under sink, every place that can get "dank and weird."

Basic bath: baking soda, salt, holy water. Cascarilla on your body, on windows, doors. Burn sage or thuja (northern flatleaf cedar, very sweet scent), followed by sweetgrass. Burn a little honey and cinnamon on charcoal every few days. Pine, lemon, lavender on floors.

QUEEN MABULLA: A lot of my clients now have asthma, can't burn things. I put oil on bamboo sticks (skewers) and have people turn those every day – disperses the fragrance just fine without any irritation (or setting off smoke alarms).

DR. KIONI: Cigar tobacco *bath* - boil it into tea. Add cascarilla, and other ingredient depending on client and case – crab shell, holy water, salt, Florida Water, it depends. For carpeted floors, bless salt, scatter, vacuum and dispose of outdoors; or sprinkle basil on all carpets and upholstery. A little bathwater should be added to mop water, not only on floors but baseboards, light switchplates etc. Buy new mop as well as broom! If too expensive, soak old in water with lemon ammonia, salt, and 1 other ingredient, overnight. Benzoin is also fine incense for clearing out entities.

In hard cases I recommend sulphur. You must vacate, but first open all doors and windows and turn on AC so fumes can get up in ductwork also – entities can hide in there. Lemon ammonia down drains. I like Dara's idea with the camphor squares under sink.

EOGHAN: Variation: get a number of dried herbs – basil, rosemary, parsley – protective and easy to get -- mix several together and sprinkle on carpets. Vacuum up later.

QUEEN MABULLA: I put the protective mixture under doormat and renew once a month.

MISS CAT: If you own your own home, or need to repair, when it comes time to replace threshold, lay something under there before work is finished. Can do it yourself whenever convenient if handy with tools.

SINDY: When remodeling, put things in the walls.

QUEEN MABULLA: I have drop ceilings in apartment; easy to put something up there above tiles. Coconut is another great general cleanser, especially if YOU are angry with people.

EOGHAN: 2 areas not yet mentioned: roof and fireplace – spirits hide there just like in ductwork. Of course chimney is an easy entrance for spirits. I burn incense in fireplace.

MISS CAT: Very old tradition. Was the custom when building fireplaces to put something in them; or loosen brick, put something behind it, and replace dug-out mortar with packed ash or even crumbs of original mortar. When my stepfather was cleaning a chimney in an old house, he reached up and found a horseshoe in the ledge inside it. Archaeologists have found dead animals put up there on purpose to protect fireplace from incursions by spirits. Old shoes, too – that's British.

DARA: I like iron items around edge of property; horseshoes, railroad *spikes.*

MISS CAT: Yes, nail down four corners of property with railroad spikes (preferably), or even masonry nails, to prevent eviction.

QUEEN MABULLA: Rice for cleansing if you don't have any money; also vinegar, onions.

MISS CAT: Yep, throw rice on floor and sweep out door, just like basil.

QUEEN MABULLA: We do that with mixture of 9 different beans, once a year. A mess, but effective and inexpensive.

MISS CAT: Cooked or raw?

QUEEN MABULLA: Raw, and we wipe people down with them – we don't throw them around.

MISS CAT: A lady from rural Japan told me that, as an aspect of kami (nature spirit) worship, at New Year's, the priest would throw kidney beans on everybody and clap his hands three times, to take all the old stuff off people and bring in New Year's blessings.

RON: Salt in the corner of the room where altar is located, before starting ritual. What else is useful for that purpose?

MISS CAT: Saltpeter, Epsom salts; going back farther, 4 squares of camphor (which is one whole packet). One square in each corner with a dime on top, to (in modern terms) create and maintain sacred space.

A Hawaiian man showed me this: get 4 large flat leaves – any species – and lay one in each corner of your sacred space, and start working. The plant spirits help you. Not hoodoo, but really nice.

Elder is also fabulous for that: elder *sticks* - just break them right off the bush – and lay them in the corners or stick them in the ground. Devil's shoestring, the same way.

RON: On that camphor – must it be a Mercury dime?

MISS CAT: I was taught so, back when you could still get them in change. Now silver dimes are very rare, because the government wants the silver out of them and keeps them when they are turned in. I would use those, yes. I don't think a dime with no silver in it will help.

ROBIN: We haven't discussed Four Thieves Vinegar, with black salt and rosemary, when moving into new home.

MISS CAT: That's heavy duty! It'll clean out anything that's EVER been there.

DARA: Yes, and you definitely need a new broom for that.

MISS CAT: Yes, when moving, leave old broom at old house and buy a new one on the way to new place.

ROBIN: Lodestones!

MISS CAT: Yes, one in each corner of the room, dressed to attract money – or sex, or whatever.

Whatever you have laid down, renew it on a regular basis! Especially. at work – the janitors will come in and clean everything away. Renew weekly and all will be well.

Irish moss as doorway sprinkle to make sure your money never runs out.

ROBIN: I like to use red brick dust; also bat nuts – nail one up over the door.

MISS CAT: And garlic! Hang a decorative braid in the kitchen.

DARA: Bottles on tree and in window.

ROBIN: Mirrors to reflect evil.

MISS CAT: Especially if you have neighbors whose attention you don't want.

EOGHAN: Live plants in the house!

MISS CAT: Yes, especially protective herbs – you have their live spirit working for you if they're growing in pots. Rosemary makes the house friendly.

QUEEN MABULLA: Bring in cut flowers to raise the vibration in your house, to keep atmosphere joyful and peaceful; at least once a month.

MISS CAT: I always put them in candle jars as offerings after successful petitions.

ROBIN: My favorite is the fountain!

MISS CAT: Robin has fountains in her house like Dr. Kioni has lodestones in his -- everywhere.

DARA: I have windchimes all over the place.

MISS CAT: Dr. Kioni sent us an *electric* wind chime that blows a puff of air every so often – has a beautiful sparkly tone.

QUEEN MABULLA: I have one of these bells that's made of 7 different metals. I run through the house shaking it every morning, it really makes a difference.

MISS CAT: Yes, those are Tibetan and used for many different purposes – VERY cleanisng. Chinese have a tradition of "tiger bells" – made kind of like sleighbells, have two tiger heads on them. Clangy sound. Used to protect horses, wagons, livestock. We have a few at Lucky Mojo.

QUEEN MABULLA: Keep large glass of water on fridge. Change at will.

DARA: Feathers, especially. raptors; cross a couple feathers in window.

MISS CAT: Reminds me of black chicken feathers, frizzly chicken feathers, made into brush to cleanse the body; a Mexican lady taught me to lay client down flat on stomach, brush their back with a whisk of these feathers. An old guy in Oakland used to use an entire wing (client standing).

DARA: Could use a drawing poultice on someone's feet. Throw it out afterwards.

DR. KIONI: Peppers; represent the cleansing power of fire. I find them very efficacious in a spiritual bath.

MISS CAT: Mary's Victory and Protection Bath includes red pepper. It's *strong.*

MOTHER PYRITE (via chatroom): I thought Irish moss was to stabilize your income, so that you wouldn't want to use it if your income was lower than you wish?

MISS CAT: Yes, it is a money stabilizer, but it's so your money won't run out, no matter how little you make.

SINDY: When all's said and done, call on St. Michael the Archangel – I have his picture above all exits and entrances.

MISS CAT: This is Catholic. I used to buy packets from Spiritual Church ladies in New Orleans – made of handkerchief cloth, filled with grains of paradise and holy card of St. Michael crocheted to outside.

SINDY: I tape 9 grains of paradise to back of each picture.

MISS CAT: There are many other protective spirits, of course. Also investigate plant spirits.

My Sicilian grandmother used to use a lemon stuck with 9 nails and red thread wound around them, put up over doorway to keep away evil eye.

DARA: With Saint Michael, you can place a miniature sword on side where door opens.

MISS CAT: You can also use a mezuzah, which has protective Bible verse from Deuteronomy in it to protect the doorposts.

Blue glass evil eye charms in window; blue faience beads; blue door and window trim.

DR. KIONI: Silver bullet!

ROBIN: Chinese blue balls in glass of water.

MISS CAT: Yes, blue water – and those flattish aquarium marbles – use blue ones in water. Or blue gazing ball like the British put in gardens.

DARA: Open Bible, sieve or colander, open scissors under bed.

MISS CAT: Open Bible to Ps. 121 with open scissors on top of it!
