Floor washes are a “must” item in Santeria, Hoodoo and Voodoo – they are completely conspicuous, as nobody will know you have used them, and really clean away the negative energies as they bring new and positive ones. I made these two last night – as soon as they are ready to filter they will [...]

Our own Castor Oil Plant, grown from wildharvested seeds. About three months old.
Ricinus Comunis: Poisonous, specially the seeds. Only 8 seeds are enough to kill a human being. The plant itself contains a small amout of ricin, but it’s a very safe plant for gardens and usually animals have no interest on it. The seeds [...]

Since I have been recently ordained as a Reverend for the Universal Life Church, I am now able to perform ceremonies in their name.
