Yeye’s Tips and Tricks

Your new favorite witchy blog!

Hello Beautiful Souls, 🌙Libra season has arrived, floating in on crisp autumn air and whispering to us about balance, beauty, and connection. Venus is our guide right now — reminding us to bring harmony into the little things and to celebrate life as an art form.

Here are a few mystical ways to honor Libra season as we step into fall:

 Balance Altar – Light a white and pink candle together. Add two objects that symbolize harmony (a feather + a stone, a sun + moon charm, or even matching mugs of tea).

Swap & Share – Invite a friend for a cozy “season swap.” Exchange books, crystals, scarves, or recipes to call in Libra’s gift of partnership.

Breath of Balance – Try alternate nostril breathing for 3 minutes a day to calm your mind and align your energy.

Beauty Ritual – Adorn yourself simply. A rosewater spritz, a warm bath, or brushing your hair under candlelight all honor Venus.

✨ Journal Spark:

  • Where in my life needs more balance?
  • How can I add beauty to everyday things?

The Trick in Question

Cinnamon & Orange Abundance Potpourri

Warm up your home this fall with a simple stovetop potion that doubles as both cozy décor and a magical spell for abundance + inspiration.

You’ll need:

  • 2 cinnamon sticks (for protection + prosperity)
  • 1 orange, sliced (for joy + creativity)
  • A sprinkle of cloves (for luck + warmth)
  • A few bay leaves (for wisdom + blessings)
  • Water

How to:
Add everything to a small pot of water, bring to a simmer, and let it steam gently on the stove. As the scent fills your space, visualize golden abundance flowing into your home, wrapping everything in harmony and inspiration.

Mystic Whisper: Each time you stir the pot, say:
“I welcome warmth, I welcome flow, abundance and magic grow and grow.”

A Soulful Saturday: Coffee, Buddhist and Hindi Art, and Sacred Vibes

Last Saturday was a magical day filled with connection as I caught up with Yeye and Juliza at Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters. We visited the Nelson-Atkins Museum’s Buddhist sculptures, experiencing their timeless beauty and spiritual significance. The day concluded at JuJu Apothecary, emphasizing art’s enduring connection to faith and healing.

This past Saturday was one of those days that felt full in the best way—quietly magical, grounding, and sweetly connected from start to finish. I met up with Yeye and our dear friend Juliza at Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters inside of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, one of Juliza’s favorite KC spots for coffee and conversation. We lingered a while, catching up on life, and enjoying the surroundings. It was Yeye’s first visit to the Nelson-Atkinson, and we wanted it to be special for her.

After coffee, we left the Bloch building with a specific goal in mind: to experience the Buddhist and Hindi sculpture and wall paintings on the second floor. None of us were prepared for how deeply moving it would be.

The galleries held an atmosphere that felt set apart from time—like stepping into a sanctuary. From the soft lighting to the intricate details of each piece, the whole space invited a quiet reverence.

Walking through those galleries with Yeye and Juliza, I kept thinking about how these works—some made over a thousand years ago—still speak. They still hold prayers. They still carry the weight of human longing and belief. It reminded me how faith and art are tied together all over the world, across centuries, in languages and symbols that may differ but share the same essence: love, reverence, hope, and healing.

After our time at the museum, Yeye headed up to JuJu Apothecary to offer her own kind of magic, welcoming folks into that sacred space we’ve built with so much intention. It felt like the perfect continuation of the day.

Honestly, if you need a reset, go walk through the Chinese and Asian exhibits at the Nelson. It’s not just about art—it’s about presence. It’s about remembering that people all over this planet, for all of time, have been trying to touch the divine. And somehow, through stone, paint, and prayer, they did. And they still do.

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.

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.
