SPIRITUAL WATERS IN HOODOO 💧🕯️
Y’all… spiritual waters are one of the most slept-on power tools in Hoodoo. These ain’t just pretty-smelling colognes — they’re liquid prayers. Protection. Cleansing. Attraction. Power.
At Oja Aje Apothecary and Botanica, we carry the ones our ancestors and elders used, and I keep a few on deck at all times. Here’s a few of my personal go-to’s:
✨ Florida Water – The holy grail. Cleanses heavy energy, lifts your spirit, and opens the way. I use it before readings, to wipe down my altar, or when my energy feels “off.”
🌿 Rue Water (Agua de Ruda) – Big protection energy. If you feel spiritually funky or like something’s been thrown your way, Rue clears it out. I add it to my mop water or rub a little on the back of my neck.
🖤 Kananga Water – Sweet, floral, and deeply ancestral. This one is beautiful for spirit communication, gravework, and feeding your altar. The scent alone opens portals.
🧄 Four Thieves Vinegar – Not for the soft-hearted. Breaks hexes, clears enemies, and cuts through mess. Add to spiritual baths or dress your black candles with it.
🌹 Lotion Pompeia + Patchouli Water – If you're calling in love, sweetness, or want to feel luxurious and magnetic… these two are chef’s kiss. Wear them, use in baths, or mix with attraction oils.
These waters carry energy. They hold memory. They are part of our rootwork. Come grab you some and let spirit guide your hand. 💦💫
