egg cleanse -> eat egg -> net zero cleanse
Good shitpost, bad bruja advice
Hope you don't mind me taking this opportunity to educate a little further.
If you wanted to curse someone or transfer whatever malignant thing you had on yourself, then by all means make them eat the egg, seasoned even. I think on that we can all agree on, based on the most widespread western laws of magic, but for brujería specifically? there's much theory beyond that.
Logic without the cultural context would tell you just that, this thing goes out, same thing goes in, the net "energy transfered" should be zero, right?...
Wrong. Even just from a physics standpoint, a net zero energy transfer is quite ideal but unrealistic as heck, there's always some energy that's gonna be lost in the process. But we're not talking about physics and energy here, we're talking about spirits who have wills and needs of their own. Brujería all across latin america has roots in native and sometimes african practices of the different indigenous people who've lived here pre-, during and post-colonization, aswell as in some cases our african ancestors and their own spiritual and magical practices, and what we all have in common is some or other form of belief in spirits (rather than "vibes" or "energies"). So it's not energy transfer, it's spirits you're removing from a person and capturing somewhere else, to get rid of them in whatever way your tradition prefers to do so.
Energy is just energy, it follows the laws of physics and does it's thing without judgement or reasoning. It will do so regardless of our intervention. Spirits are a whole different thing. At best, they'll be spiteful because you tried to get rid of them, at worst, they'll put every effort into making your life a living hell because you tried to take away their sustenance (that was you!), so it's not as easy as "eat egg -> net zero" it's rather "eat egg -> willingly invite into yourself an angry spirit who's already been making your life difficult and is more than a little pissed right now"
Again, I'll remind you all that I do not work within your regular "vibes and energies" world view. I am afroindigenous, that means a lot of deep beliefs in spirits and spirit communication, on the spirit nature of illness and problems as well as health and blessings, and thus it's more than just energy being moved around. Everyone is free to believe what they choose, but from a traditional brujería standpoint? We're talking spirits and they have their own agenda, so you need someone who understands the nature of that spirit, what their agenda most likely looks like (depends on how simple minded or not they could be aswell) and thus, what the best treatment or solution for each situation is. I'll always appreciate humor and I'm open to discuss these type of things, but I do ask you to approach this with a good amount of respect aswell, as POC have had quite enough of our beliefs and practices ridiculed.
