Since Sage is being used way too much, I decided to make a post about this c:

rosemary

This is a fantastic alternative! Burn Rosemary incense, sprinkle rosemary around.

use Rosemary oil to cleanse and bless things

Birch

Great for removing negativity (spirits and fae specifically) and keeping harm away, while attracting positive things

You can burn it, you can create a scent bowl with it (like potpourri), or you can sprinkle it around your house

Salt

Always has been associated with cleansing and blessing.

you can sprinkle it around the house, put it in water and sprinkle things with salt water~ you can also use salt water like you would use essential oils

Olive oil or Vegetable oil

Great for using in place of essential oils~

You can use these for blessing and cleansing stones, items, and such

to bless and protect your home with these, you need to place the oil upon doors and windowsills (you can draw symbols)

Crystals (Quartz crystals)

Quartz Crystals are great for absorbing energy and negativity

place a few quartz crystals around the home to help absorb negative energy

hold an item with a quartz crystal to cleanse it

Blessed Water

Leave a jar of water outside to soak in sunlight, moonlight, or star light to become blessed.

Collect fresh river water, spring water, creek water, ect (sea water is great too)

sprinkle the water around the house to cleanse it.

Dip an item in the water to cleanse it

Bell or an instrument

The vibrations and sounds of instruments are associated with cleansing properties

Walk around the home playing the item and letting the noise vibrate through the home

hold an item and play for it to cleanse it~

Dirt

Need to cleanse an item? Bury it! I keep a pot of dirt in my house just for this~

get bottles of dirt and place them around your home to collect and absorb the negativity

Wind

Take an item and go outside let it sit in the wind to blow away the negativity

Fire

Candles are fantastic for clearing negative energy. Leave an item by a candle, take a candle and walk around your home lighting up every part of the house.

A fire place is great. you can burn different woods in it to cleanse your home

Herbs

Get a herb that cleanses and purifies and rub it upon an item

Alcohol in general is a very potent ingredient and can either be used for positive or negative outcomes. Often times, alcohol is used as an offering to gods and goddess. Alcohol is also purified by the process of making it, so all of them can be used for cleansing in general spell work. In general alcohol is used minimally and should not be used if you have/had an addiction. This is for general knowledge!

🧚‍ Absinthe - It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium (“grand wormwood”), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. While the hallucinogenic absinthe is banned in the US, you can still find a less severe version today. Good for psychic dreams, and protection spells.

🌿 Wormwood - Independence, psychic, love, passion

🌿 Anise - Happiness, psychic, protection, purification, youth, luck, ward, prevent nightmares

🌿 Fennel - Love, protection, healing, vitality, virility, prevents curses, hexes, possessions and negative problems

🍺 Beer -  is brewed from cereal grains—most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours. Very good to add an extra punch to your spell work, as well as having many different types uses.

🌾 Barley - Love, Healing, protection, fertility, marriage, financial luck, energy.

🌾 Wheat - Energy, prosperity and protection

🌽 Corn - Growth, transformation, fertility

🍚 Rice - Blessing, prosperity, protection,

🌿 Hops - Healing, sleep

🍺 Ale - s a type of beer brewed using a warm fermentation method, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied and fruity taste. Historically, the term referred to a drink brewed without hops. Very good for non-sleep/drowsy spells.

🍷 Brandy -  is produced by distilling wine. Acts like a wine, but tends to be a little more general, while wine can have different effects based on color/type/location.

🍇 See ‘Grapes’

🍺 Cider - made from the fermented juice of apples. Extremely powerful, and generally very positive. Use sparingly though! Use real apples when you can instead.

🍎 Apples - immortality, health, love

🍸 Gin - derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries.

🍒 Juniper berries - Health, protection

🐝 Mead - created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. Make sure to find what kind of mead you are drinking if it has added ingredients!

🍯 Honey - Connection, prosperity, love

🍸 Mezcal - is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave plant native to Mexico. Very similar to Tequila. Tequila is simply made from the Blue Agave plant.

🌵 Agave - Transformation, truth

🥤 Rum -  made from molasses or honey, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. Very good in any love/relationship magic

🍬 Sugar - Clarity, love

🍬 Molasses - Strength, love

🍯 See ‘Honey’

🍶 Sake - made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran.

🍚 See ‘Rice’

🍷 Wine - made from grapes. Extremely diversified and useful. An easy go to for most things.

Colors of Wine/Types correspondences

🍇 Grapes - Fertility, happiness, prosperity

🍷 Port - is a Portuguese fortified wine that is typically a sweet, red wine, often served as a dessert wine, though it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties. Good for love magic.

🍷 Vermouth - is an aromatized, fortified wine flavored with various botanicals (roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs, and spices). A good combo if you find the different ingredients listed.

🏺 Santorini - is a Greek wine region located on the archipelago of Santorini in the southern Cyclades islands of Greece. Wine has been produced there since ancient times, but it was during the Middle Ages that the wine of Santorini became famous worldwide under the influence of the Republic of Venice. Probably a good choice for offerings if you worship the Olympian gods.

🥃 Whiskey - is distilled from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak. The charred oak is really your ticket here to add a kick.

🌾 Rye - Protection, strength

🌾 See ‘Wheat’

🌽 See ‘Corn’

🌾 See ‘Barley’

~There are lots of different whiskeys with the only real difference being location of where it was made.

🥂 Liqueur - made from a distilled spirit that has been flavored with either fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts, and is bottled with added sugars and other sweeteners. Liqueurs are typically quite sweet. Good for any offering, or prosperity spells.

🌳 Oak Wood casks - Money, success, strength, fertility, stability, health, healing, potency and good luck.

🌳White Oak - solidity and strength

🌳 Charred casks - Transformation, prophetic

🔥 Proofs - I bring this up because if you want to use fire with the alcohol you need over 100 proof (in US at least - I believe Europe/Canada/UK use a different measuring system) to light alcohol on fire. Anything less will not stay lit/light at all.

🚫 Cleaning Alcohol -  or Isopropyl alcohol is very toxic. Be careful. I would not recommend using it outside of its usual purpose. It’s extremely flammable, should not be consumed, and is a skin irritant! Just don’t use it!!

The Where My Heart Is Spread was channeled to help a person see exactly what lies in their heart beyond the fickle, the illusions, and the fears that can sometimes be barrier to love.
