Spiritual Water
Spiritual waters are solutions of fragrant essential oils combined with distilled water and some degree of perfumer’s alcohol. By far, the most popular of spiritual waters in the various magickal traditions is Florida water.
Florida water dates back to 1855 sharing the same citrus base as Cologne water, but has the addition of sweet orange and spicy notes, including lavender and clove. This spiritual water is popular among South American shamen, where it is believed that the plant spirits of the Amazon love sweet-smelling perfumes.
In Hoodoo, Florida Water is used in spiritual cleansings and home protection. It can be worn on the body, used as an ingredient in magical works or by itself as a cologne, put in the bath water and misted in the environment to purify it.
