Witch Herbs, Lemongrass

Lemongrass is believed to possess several metaphysical properties, often associated with purification, cleansing, and protection. It is thought to have the power to clear negative energies, bring in positive vibrations, and promote spiritual growth. In spellwork, Lemongrass is commonly used to enhance psychic abilities, intuition, and mental clarity.

When using Lemongrass in spells, you can incorporate it in various ways:

1. Purification Rituals: Burn dried Lemongrass as an incense to cleanse a space or an object, creating a positive and purified environment.

2. Protection Spells: Place Lemongrass leaves or essential oil around your home or personal space to create a protective barrier against negative influences or malevolent energies.

3. Meditation and Divination: Infuse Lemongrass in water to create a scented spray, and use it during meditation or divination practices to enhance focus and clarity.

4. Healing Rituals: Add Lemongrass to bathwater or make a tea to promote physical and emotional healing, as it is believed to have soothing properties.

In Hoodoo, Lemongrass is a key ingredient in Van Van oil, a potent magical blend known for its ability to clear obstacles and bring in positive energy. To create your own Van Van oil, you can follow this simple recipe:

Ingredients:
- Lemongrass essential oil or dried Lemongrass
- Lemon essential oil or Lemon zest
- Vetiver essential oil
- Fractionated coconut oil (or any carrier oil of your choice)

Instructions:
1. In a small glass bottle, mix 1/4 cup of the carrier oil with 7-10 drops of Lemongrass essential oil and 7-10 drops of Lemon essential oil (or a tablespoon of dried Lemongrass and a tablespoon of Lemon zest).

2. Add a few drops of Vetiver essential oil to the mixture. Vetiver enhances the potency of the oil and adds grounding properties.

3. Close the bottle tightly and shake it well to blend the oils.

4. As you use the Van Van oil, visualize its cleansing and protective energy amplifying your intentions and desires.

Remember, while many people find Lemongrass and Van Van oil to be effective in their spiritual practices, the power of spells lies in your intention and belief. Always approach magic with respect, mindfulness, and positive intentions.
