Bring Home the Resurrection Plant: Rose of Jericho

I just found out about this magical plant the day of JuJu Apothecary’s grand opening and it is fascinating! The Rose of Jericho, also known as the “Resurrection Plant” is really cool.

This mystical botanical wonder has been used for centuries across cultures for its powerful symbolic and spiritual properties. And now, you can bring its magic home—available at JuJu Apothecary in Kansas City!

🌿 What Is the Rose of Jericho?

The Rose of Jericho isn’t your average houseplant. When dry, it curls up into a tight ball, appearing dead or dormant. But add just a little water, and it miraculously revives, unfurling into a lush, green display—sometimes within hours. This resurrection act is where it gets its spiritual significance.

🌙 Spiritual Uses & Rituals

The Rose of Jericho is beloved in many magical and spiritual traditions for its ability to:

  • Attract Abundance & Prosperity: Place the plant in a bowl of water at your altar or in your entryway to invite good fortune and blessings into your home.
  • Clear Negative Energy: The water the plant sits in is often used to cleanse and protect spaces. You can sprinkle it around your home, your front door, or your sacred tools.
  • Rebirth & Renewal: This plant is ideal for rituals focused on new beginnings, personal growth, or spiritual rebirth. Perfect for moon rituals or when starting a new journey.
  • Petitioning Ancestors & Spirits: In some traditions, the Rose of Jericho is used to create a spiritual bridge when working with ancestors or asking for guidance from spirit allies.

To use, simply place the plant in a shallow dish of water and speak your intentions as it begins to open. Many people refresh the water daily and say affirmations or prayers during this sacred process.

Florida Water: Your Guide to Cleansing and Protection

Florida Water, an American Eau de Cologne, has spiritual significance in various traditions for cleansing, protection, and divination. Introduced in 1808, its refreshing citrus fragrance is linked to rejuvenation myths. Practitioners use it for rituals, attracting positive energy, and offerings. It’s available at JuJu Apothecary in Kansas City.

For a while now, Florida Water has been a staple in spiritual and magical practices, known for its refreshing scent and powerful energetic properties.

Whether used for cleansing, protection, or as an offering to spirits, this fragrant cologne is more than just a perfume—it’s a versatile tool for those who practice spiritual work, divination, and energy healing.

What is Florida Water?

Florida Water is an American version of an Eau de Cologne, originally created in 1709 Germany.

Florida Water, a citrus-based cologne, infused with floral and herbal notes, was introduced in 1808 by New York City perfumer Robert I. Murray. In 1835, Murray partnered with David T. Lanman, forming the company Murray & Lanman, which later became known for producing and distributing Florida Water. ​

The name “Florida Water” draws inspiration from the legendary Fountain of Youth, which is said to be located in Florida. This association links the cologne’s refreshing and invigorating qualities to the rejuvenating myths surrounding the fabled fountain.

The formula blends alcohol, essential oils, and botanicals, resulting in a refreshing yet potent fragrance.

In spiritual traditions like Hoodoo, Santería, Espiritismo, and Vodou, Florida Water is considered a sacred tool with strong cleansing, protective, and blessing properties. It is often compared to Holy Water due to its purifying energy and is used in various rituals to clear negativity and invite positive vibrations.

Spiritual Uses of Florida Water

🌿 Cleansing & Purification

One of the primary uses of Florida Water is spiritual cleansing—for yourself, your home, and even your magical tools. It is an excellent alternative to smoke cleansing (for those who are sensitive to incense or sage) and is often used to remove negative energy and stagnant vibrations.

Ways to use it:

  • For personal energy cleansing: Dab Florida Water on your wrists, neck, or third eye before rituals or meditation to clear unwanted energies.
  • For home cleansing: Add Florida Water to a spray bottle with water and mist your space, focusing on doorways and corners where energy accumulates.
  • For bath rituals: Add a few drops to your bath for a full-body spiritual detox.

🛡 Protection & Warding Off Negativity

Florida Water is known for its protective qualities, often used in rituals to ward off negativity, evil spirits, and psychic attacks.

Best ways to use it for protection:

  • Mix it with water and wipe down your doors, windows, and mirrors to create a spiritual barrier.
  • Anoint your body with a small amount before entering energetically heavy spaces.
  • Place a bowl of Florida Water near your bed to absorb negativity while you sleep.

🔮 Enhancing Divination & Intuition

Florida Water is widely used by spiritual practitioners to enhance psychic abilities and create a clearer channel for divination.

Incorporate it into your practice by:

  • Wiping down your tarot cards, pendulums, or crystal balls before a reading.
  • Dabbing it on your third eye before meditation or spirit communication.
  • Sprinkling a few drops on your altar to invite clarity and insight.

✨ Attracting Love, Prosperity, and Positive Energy

The uplifting fragrance of Florida Water carries strong vibrations of love, peace, and abundance.

Use it for manifestation by:

  • Wearing it as a cologne to attract love and positive attention.
  • Adding a few drops to floor washes when cleaning your home to invite prosperity.
  • Anointing money, business cards, or your wallet to attract financial success.

🕊 Spiritual Offerings & Ancestral Work

Florida Water is a favorite offering for ancestors, spirit guides, and deities in many spiritual traditions.

Ways to use it in offerings:

  • Pour a small amount into a bowl on your altar as a gift to your guides or ancestors. You will see a bowl of Florida Water always on Yeye’s reading table.
  • Use it to cleanse sacred objects before placing them on your altar.
  • Lightly sprinkle it on candles before burning them in spiritual rituals.

Dragon’s Blood Sage: Boosting the Power of White Sage

Dragon’s Blood Sage, a blend of white sage and dragon’s blood resin, is revered for its cleansing and protective properties. Dragon’s blood resin, used in traditional medicine and spiritual practices, enhances intentions and wards off negativity. This smudge bundle promotes purification, manifestation, and connection with higher realms, making it essential for spiritual work.

Now that we have learned how to use White Sage in our ceremonies, let’s learn about Dragon’s Blood Sage!

Dragon’s Blood Sage is blend of two potent spiritual tools—white sage and dragon’s blood resin—this combination is revered for its cleansing, protective, and manifestation-enhancing properties.

What is Dragon’s Blood Resin?

Dragon’s blood resin is a red resin obtained from the sap of several species of plants, and is used as a varnish, paint pigment, dye, and in traditional medicine. 

Sources of the Resin:

  • Daemonorops: Daemonorops draco (a rattan palm) is a common source. 
  • Dracaena: Dracaena cinnabari (from Socotra) and Dracaena draco (from the Canary Islands) are also sources. 
  • Croton: Croton lechleri (from Peru and Ecuador) and other Croton species are used. 
  • Pterocarpus: Pterocarpus draco (from the East Indies and South America) is another source. 

Uses:

  • Traditional Medicine: Used topically as an astringent and orally for diarrhea and digestive issues.  (We aren’t medical doctors, please use at your own risk)
    • Varnish and Paint: Used as a varnish, paint pigment, and dye. 
    • Incense: It can be burned as incense, imparting a rich, earthy, and spicy aroma. 
    • Other: Used in spiritual practices and as a pigment for various purposes. 

What is Dragon’s Blood Sage?

Dragon’s Blood Sage is created by infusing traditional white sage (Salvia apiana) with dragon’s blood resin, which comes from the sap of several species of trees found in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa. Both ingredients hold strong historical and spiritual significance, making this fusion a powerhouse for cleansing and intention-setting.

  • White Sage: A sacred herb used by Indigenous tribes of North America for purification, energy clearing, and healing.
  • Dragon’s Blood Resin: A deep red resin associated with protection, power, love, and strength. It has been used in various spiritual traditions, including Hoodoo, Wicca, and ceremonial magick, for enhancing spells and increasing potency.

When these two elements come together, they create a smudge bundle that not only clears negative energy but also strengthens spiritual barriers and amplifies your intentions.

Spiritual Uses of Dragon’s Blood Sage

🔥 Purification & Energy Clearing

Like traditional white sage, Dragon’s Blood Sage is excellent for clearing stagnant or negative energies from your home or workspace. The added dragon’s blood resin enhances this purification process, making it ideal for deep spiritual cleansing.

How to use:

  • Light the sage bundle and allow the smoke to fill the space while setting your intention for cleansing.
  • Walk through each room, focusing on doorways, windows, and corners where energy tends to collect.
  • To extinguish a Dragon’s Blood Sage bundle safely, gently press the lit end into a fireproof container filled with sand or ashes, ensuring no smoke or embers remain before leaving it unattended. 

🛡 Protection & Warding Off Negativity

Dragon’s blood is well known for its protective properties. Smudging with Dragon’s Blood Sage creates a strong energetic shield, helping to ward off negative influences, psychic attacks, or lingering low vibrations.

Best use cases:

  • Before spiritual work to ensure a protected space.
  • After being around toxic or draining people.
  • To create a protective barrier around your home.

🌟 Enhancing Manifestation & Spellwork

Dragon’s blood is a powerful amplifier. When used in conjunction with spellwork, intention-setting, or manifestation rituals, it strengthens and speeds up the desired outcome.

Ways to incorporate it:

  • Smudge before meditation or ritual work to heighten spiritual connection.
  • Use it while writing manifestations or affirmations to infuse them with extra power.
  • Burn it when casting protection, love, or prosperity spells to increase their effectiveness.

❤️ Attracting Love & Passion

In many traditions, dragon’s blood is associated with love, desire, and passion. Whether you’re working to attract love or strengthen an existing relationship, smudging with Dragon’s Blood Sage can set the right energetic tone.

Suggested ritual:

  • Light the bundle while visualizing love and passion entering your life.
  • Pair it with rose petals or cinnamon for an extra boost in attraction magic.

🌌 Connecting with Higher Realms

Dragon’s Blood Sage is also great for those who work with spirit guides, ancestors, or divine energies. It clears the space while enhancing spiritual awareness, making it easier to receive messages and divine guidance.

Ideal for:

  • Ancestral veneration and offerings.
  • Deepening intuition and psychic abilities.
  • Strengthening divination practices such as tarot, scrying, or pendulum work.

The Power of Sage: Cleansing Your Space and Spirit

Burning sage, or smudging, has been a revered spiritual practice across cultures for centuries, particularly among Indigenous North American tribes. It’s believed to cleanse negative energy, provide protection, and enhance spirituality. Practitioners must approach this tradition with respect, choosing ethically sourced sage and acknowledging its cultural significance while incorporating it into personal rituals.

You may have seen someone holding a smoldering bundle of twigs, wafting the smoke around, and wondered what in the woo-woo were they doing? It can smell a bit like cannabis to some people (it did for me until I got used to smelling it) but it seems to be more common these days to clear away negative energy. I use it every time I move into a new space, or am feeling like the world is aiming at me.

For a long time now, the practice of burning sage has been used across cultures as a powerful spiritual tool. Whether used in indigenous ceremonies, ancient temples, or modern households, sage is believed to cleanse negative energy, invite protection, and enhance spiritual connection. There is the deeper history behind this sacred herb, and we can honor its spiritual significance in contemporary practice.

A Historical and Cultural Perspective

Burning sage, commonly referred to as smudging, has its roots primarily in the spiritual traditions of Indigenous North American tribes. Many Native American and First Nations groups, including the Lakota, Cherokee, and Navajo, have long used sage in purification ceremonies, prayers, and healing rituals. White sage (Salvia apiana) is particularly valued in these traditions for its strong cleansing properties.

Beyond North America, various cultures have engaged in similar smoke purification practices. Ancient Egyptians burned herbs and resins in their temples as offerings to the gods. In the Mediterranean, Romans and Greeks utilized sage for its medicinal and protective qualities. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, burning herbs like mugwort in moxibustion is believed to balance energy and promote healing.

Spiritual and Metaphysical Uses of Sage

The burning of sage is deeply symbolic and is believed to offer numerous spiritual benefits:

  1. Energy Cleansing: The smoke from burning sage is thought to clear stagnant or negative energy from people, places, and objects.
  2. Spiritual Protection: Many practitioners use sage to create a protective barrier against harmful influences.
  3. Enhanced Intuition: Sage is said to heighten spiritual awareness, making it a favorite tool for those engaging in meditation, divination, and ritual work.
  4. Healing and Well-being: Some believe sage’s purifying smoke can help release emotional blockages and promote mental clarity.

How to Use Sage in Your Spiritual Practice

If you wish to incorporate sage burning into your spiritual routine, it’s essential to do so with intention and respect. Here are some steps to guide your practice:

  1. Choose Your Sage Wisely: While white sage is commonly used, alternatives like desert sage, cedar, or palo santo (ethically sourced) can also be effective.
  2. Set an Intention: Before lighting the sage, focus on your purpose—whether it’s clearing negativity, inviting peace, or blessing a space.
  3. Light the Bundle: Use a candle, match, or lighter to ignite the sage, then gently blow out the flame so it smolders and produces smoke.
  4. Smudge Mindfully: Move the sage bundle around your space, over your body, or around objects in a clockwise direction while reciting prayers, affirmations, or mantras.
  5. Ventilate the Space: Keep windows open to allow the unwanted energy to exit with the smoke.
  6. Give Thanks: Express gratitude for the cleansing and the spirit of the plant before extinguishing the bundle.
  7. To extinguish a sage bundle safely, gently press the lit end into a fireproof container filled with sand or ashes, ensuring no smoke or embers remain before leaving it unattended. 

Honoring the Sacred Tradition

With the growing popularity of sage burning, it’s vital to practice cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. If you’re not part of an Indigenous culture that traditionally uses sage in ceremonies, approach the practice with reverence, educate yourself on its origins, and consider supporting Native-owned businesses when purchasing sage. Additionally, be mindful of sustainability, as overharvesting white sage has led to concerns about its availability.

Where to Find Quality Sage and Spiritual Tools

For those looking to incorporate sage into their spiritual practice, JuJu Apothecary is a wonderful place to find high-quality, ethically sourced sage and other mystical tools. Located at Monarca Art Space in the Historic West Bottoms of Kansas City, M0, JuJu Apothecary offers a variety of spiritual items, including tarot cards, candle magic supplies, magical oils, and many other goodies to enhance your spiritual practice!

Burning sage is a powerful spiritual tool with deep historical roots. When approached with respect and intention, it can be a meaningful practice to cleanse, protect, and elevate your spiritual energy. Whether you’re incorporating it into ancestral veneration, meditation, or daily rituals, sage offers a timeless bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.

Illuminating Intentions: Using Chime Candles in Spiritual Practice

At JuJu Apothecary, Yeye believes in the power of focused intention, and one of the simplest yet most effective tools for magic is the chime candle. These small but mighty candles, available in a variety of colors, are perfect for quick spells, daily rituals, and intention-setting practices. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your spiritual journey, chime candles can enhance your magical workings with ease.

Why Use Chime Candles?

Chime candles, sometimes called spell candles, are typically 4 to 6 inches tall and burn for about 1 – 2 hours or less, making them ideal for short, focused rituals. Their compact size allows for quick spell work, allowing you to set an intention, watch the flame carry your message into the universe, and move on with your day.

Unlike larger candles that require repeated burns, chime candles are designed to complete their cycle in one session, making them perfect for spells that require swift manifestation or quick results.

Choosing the Right Candle Color

Each candle color carries a specific vibrational energy that can enhance your intentions:

🔴 Red – Passion, courage, strength, and fast action. Use for love spells, motivation, or protection.
🟠 Orange – Creativity, success, and joy. Great for boosting confidence or attracting opportunities.
🟡 Yellow – Mental clarity, communication, and focus. Ideal for studying, public speaking, or manifesting wisdom.
🟢 Green – Abundance, fertility, and healing. Perfect for money magic, growth, and prosperity work.
🔵 Blue – Peace, intuition, and spiritual connection. Use for meditation, divination, and emotional healing.
🟣 Purple – Psychic awareness, power, and manifestation. Great for spiritual growth and transformation.
⚪ White – Purity, protection, and new beginnings. Can substitute for any color when needed.
⚫ Black – Banishing, protection, and releasing negativity. Use for breaking bad habits or warding off harm.
💗 Pink – Love, self-care, and friendship. Ideal for attracting gentle love energy and healing relationships.
🤍 Silver – Lunar magic, intuition, and feminine energy. Good for working with moon cycles and dreams.
💛 Gold – Success, wealth, and solar energy. Perfect for drawing abundance and empowerment.

How to Use Chime Candles in Rituals

  1. Set Your Intention – Before lighting your candle, be clear about your purpose. Write it down, say it aloud, or visualize it strongly.
  2. Dress the Candle – Enhance its power by anointing it with oils, herbs, or carving sigils into the wax.
  3. Light the Flame – As you ignite the wick, focus on your intention being sent into the universe.
  4. Let It Burn – Allow the candle to burn completely in a safe place. If you must extinguish it, snuff it out rather than blowing it.
  5. Dispose Respectfully – Bury the wax remnants in the earth, or discard them in a ritual-appropriate way.

Incorporating Chime Candles Into Daily Practice

  • Morning Affirmations – Light a yellow or white candle while setting positive intentions for the day.
  • Money Magic Mondays – Burn a green candle on Mondays to attract financial prosperity.
  • Self-Care Sundays – Use a pink candle during meditation or a bath ritual for self-love and healing.
  • Full Moon Manifestation – Work with silver or purple candles to enhance intuition and spiritual insight.

At JuJu Apothecary, Yeye carries a beautiful selection of chime candles to support your magical practice.

Visit us at 1225 Union Avenue, Kansas City, MO to find the perfect candle for your next ritual.

Much like White Sage, Palo Santo is used to clear stagnant or negative energy. The difference? Its sweet, grounding aroma leaves behind a sense of warmth and tranquility, rather than just neutralizing energy.

  • Light the tip of a Palo Santo stick and let it burn for about 30 seconds before blowing out the flame.
  • Wave the smoke around yourself, your home, or your tools to clear unwanted energy.
  • Pay special attention to doorways, windows, and corners—energy loves to linger there!

🧘🏾‍♀️ Deepening Meditation & Spiritual Connection

The aroma of Palo Santo creates an inviting space for meditation, prayer, or any spiritual practice. It enhances clarity, focus, and a sense of peace, making it a perfect companion for moments of introspection.

✨ How to Use:

  • Burn Palo Santo before or during meditation to create a sacred atmosphere.
  • Hold a piece in your hands while setting intentions or speaking affirmations.
  • Let its calming scent guide you into a deeper state of mindfulness.

💖 Emotional Healing & Stress Relief

Palo Santo isn’t just about cleansing—it’s about renewal. Its uplifting scent promotes joy, relaxation, and emotional balance, making it ideal for self-care rituals.

✨ How to Use:

  • Burn Palo Santo after a stressful day to restore your energy.
  • Add Palo Santo essential oil to a diffuser for a calming atmosphere.
  • Use the smoke to clear away heavy emotions and invite in peace.

  • Burn Palo Santo while setting intentions for abundance.
  • Place small pieces in your sacred space, cash drawer, or altar.
  • Use Palo Santo oil to anoint candles, charms, or ritual tools.

🕯 Honoring Ancestors & Spirit Guides

Many spiritual traditions use Palo Santo as an offering to honor ancestors, guides, and divine beings. The sacred smoke is believed to carry prayers and messages between realms.

✨ How to Use:

  • Burn Palo Santo during ancestor veneration rituals.

Exploring Nostradamus: A Dive into His Predictions

Nostradamus, born Michel de Nostredame in 1503, was a French apothecary and astrologer famous for his cryptic predictions in “Les Prophéties.” Many interpret his quatrains as foretelling significant historical events, such as the Great Fire of London and World War II. His ambiguous style fuels ongoing debates about his prophetic abilities.

Hi Y’all! Lou here! Keeping on the topic of famous psychics, I wanted to start from the first Historic Psychic on my previous blog post, Nostradamus.

When it comes to famous prophets and seer’s, Nostradamus stands out. You might have heard his name in movies or TV shows, but who was he really, and why are his predictions still so famous? Let’s take a beginner-friendly dive into the world of this 16th-century French seer, whose cryptic writings have fascinated people for centuries.

Who Was Nostradamus?

Born Michel de Nostredame in 1503, Nostradamus was a French apothecary (kind of like a pharmacist) and astrologer. In 1555, he published Les Prophéties, a book filled with four-line poems called quatrains. These poems claimed to predict future events, and over time, many people have connected his writings to real-world happenings.

But here’s the catch: Nostradamus’ predictions are written in a very cryptic way. His poetic style, filled with metaphors and old French phrases, makes them open to interpretation. Some see his writings as proof of prophecy, while others think they’re just coincidences or clever guesses.

A Few Predictions That Seem to Have Come True

For beginners, the best way to understand Nostradamus is to look at some of the events people believe he predicted.

1. The Great Fire of London (1666)

One of Nostradamus’ quatrains says:
“The blood of the just will be demanded of London,
Burnt by fire in the year ’66.”

In 1666, a massive fire swept through London, destroying much of the city. Even though this happened over 100 years after Nostradamus wrote his poem, the mention of fire and the year ’66 seem spot-on.

2. The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte

Another quatrain reads:
“An Emperor shall be born near Italy,
Who shall cost the Empire a high price.”

This is often linked to Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born on the island of Corsica (near Italy) and became one of Europe’s most famous leaders. Napoleon’s military campaigns changed history but also caused great destruction, making the “high price” line feel accurate.

3. The French Revolution (1789–1799)

Nostradamus wrote:
“From the enslaved populace, songs, chants, and demands,
While princes and lords are held captive in prisons.
These will in the future by headless idiots
Be received as divine prayers.”

This quatrain sounds like it’s describing the French Revolution, a time when the French monarchy was overthrown, and the guillotine became a symbol of the era. The “headless idiots” could refer to the many people executed during this period, including King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette.

4. World War II and Hitler

“From the depths of the West of Europe,
A young child will be born of poor people,
Who by his tongue will seduce a great troop.”

Many people link this to Adolf Hitler, the infamous Nazi leader born in Austria to a modest family. His speeches and charisma led to his rise to power, making the phrase “seduce a great troop” seem fitting.

5. The 9/11 Attacks

Another quatrain says:
“Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth
will cause tremors around the New City.
Two great rocks will war for a long time.”

Some interpret this as Nostradamus predicting the 9/11 attacks on New York City, with the “two great rocks” symbolizing the Twin Towers. The connection isn’t perfect, but many find the parallels striking.

Why Are His Predictions So Famous?

For beginners, the key to understanding Nostradamus is this: his quatrains are vague. They don’t directly name people or places, which means people interpret them in different ways. Sometimes, his words seem to fit events perfectly—other times, not so much.

What keeps Nostradamus popular is the mystery. Did he really predict the future, or is it all about how we interpret his writings? That’s for you to decide!

How to Dive Deeper

If this has piqued your interest, try reading some of Nostradamus’ original quatrains (there are translations available online). You can also explore how different people interpret his work—it’s fascinating to see how his words spark debates even today.

What do you think? Could Nostradamus really see the future, or was he just really good at writing poetic puzzles? Let’s discuss in the comments!
