How to make Florida Water: Traditional Recipe and Uses

Despite the name, Florida Water 💧 is not a water-based potion! Most people use vodka to steep the herbs and flowers. Its strong magical properties have made it an essential ingredient in Hoodoo, Voodoo, Santeria, Wicca, and Witchcraft practices.

Why this Spell Works

This Traditional Recipe has been used for hundreds of years, adopted by Southern practitioners of the Hoodoo and Voodoo traditions to cleanse the home and use in rituals. Originally named as the American version of Eau de Cologne in the 1800’s. 🧐

The Herbs listed here each have their own magical properties which, combined with your intention, will aid in cleansing and protecting from negative energies.

THE ORIGIN OF FRIDAY THE 13TH AS AN UNLUCKY DAY

Being wary of Friday the 13th is much more than a quaint superstition observed by a few uneducated people in distant, unreachable towns and hamlets. In the United States alone, it is estimated that between 17 and 21 million people dread that date to the extent that it can be officially classified as a phobia.

So why is Friday the 13th considered such an “evil” day?

The origins aren’t perfectly clear, but we do know that both Friday and, separately, the number 13 have long been considered unlucky and it was around the late 19th century that the first documented instances started popping up of people putting the two together to form the unluckiest day of all.

Some History about Friday the 13th

Source: history.com

Long considered a harbinger of bad luck, Friday the 13th has inspired a late 19th-century secret society, an early 20th-century novel, a horror film franchise and not one but two unwieldy terms—paraskavedekatriaphobia and friggatriskaidekaphobia—that describe fear of this supposedly unlucky day.

Good Luck and Prosperity Spell Jar

Recipe by SilverBear

Keep this beautiful jar in your home to bring an abundance of good luck and prosperity into your life. Add a good luck charm to your jar for an extra boost of positive energy!

Ingredients

Clean glass jar

Sage, palo santo or other cleansing incense

Green candle

Black salt

Cinnamon

Cloves

Chamomile

Sage

Rosemary

Clear quartz

Tiger’s eye

Green aventurine

Directions

Light your candle and incense. Ask for the plant spirit blessing,
“I ask that the plant spirit of (palo santo) please infuse this space with blessings”.

Pick up your jar, fan it with your smoke, go all around it and say:
“With this smoke I cleanse this object of all negative or harmful energy so that I may use it for my highest good.
So, it is said, so shall it be.”

Cast a circle of protection e.g. Hold your incense as you walk in a clockwise circle and say:

Keep all negativity out and let only love come in.
Blessed be.”

Now begin to add each item to your jar. Think about what each items means to you as you place it in the jar.

Seal your bottle with wax from the candle and repeat this chant:
“The winds of change I feel tonight.
The waters are calm and the sky is bright.
Luck be mine, come into me,
My desires are true, so it is said, so shall it be!”

Decorate the jar however you like.
When you are done with your spell walk counterclockwise and say:
“The circle now fades. It is done. Thank you (palo santo) for the blessings & protection, blessed be.”

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

I am not fully back yet but I missed all of you and felt it was time to get the birthday horoscope traits caught up. I will be doing what are to me the important posts for today, but they might not be in the usual order. Hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow to do all the regular daily posts. This weather is horrible for all of us that have any type of chronic pain. It hurts for me to walk, sit, lay down basically to move in anyway. My fingers are hurting and tingling like they’ve been asleep for a long-time but times 10. So, I will do the best I can for today.

Anyone with a chronic pain condition who asks me to send them positive, healing energy please email me or even better put your request in the comment section. Thank you all for understanding my absent the last few days and why I cannot do all the regular daily posts.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive!

Blessed be.

Some Humor for Your Day

MOnday’s posts will be missing the informational or fun posts as I need at least a partial day off. I’m behind on household chores, laudry, and groercey shopping as I’ve been gone so much for backing up Big Dawg when he serves paperwork.

May the rest of your day be filled with relaxation, love, and all positive things!

Until we meet again blessed be.

Spell For Sunday – Sunday Pagan Worship

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Sunday Pagan Worship

What you will need:

Your voice
Your body
1 bell (optional)

Find a quiet, private area, without distraction. Sit down in a comfortable position. Take a few, slow, deep breaths. Allow your body to become very relaxed. When you have done this, if you brought a bell, ring it seven times. Allow the last ring to resonate throughout your body. If you have something you want to say, to God or The Goddess, now would be a good time to do this. When you are finished, say this prayer or chant:

“I know there is a higher
being than me.
I am not alone.
You are with me,
Day and night.
You’ve rode the lows
And watched the heights.
If angels are real,
I’m sure to have a guardian.
I am so thankful
And so grateful for your hand.
You’ve blessed me.
You’ve fed me
You’ve quenched my thirst
And even dressed me.
A ‘man,
A ‘man,
And Blessed Be.”

When you are finished, ring the bell seven more times, to end the ceremony
