Conjure Item O' The Week: Lemon

Hi everyone!  When life hands you lemons, use them in magic :)

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Citrus lemon

WHERE CAN I GET IT?: The grocery store, in the produce section. 

WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR IN CONJURE?: Lemons are used to drive away evil in many cultures.  It also is a good cleansing scent (hey, look at how many lemon-scented cleansing products there are!). 

If you want to get rid of someone who's driving you nuts, cut open a fresh lemon.  Write the offender's name on a piece of paper and put that in the lemon.  Pin the lemon back together with nine pins.  Bury the lemon in the West (because as the Sun goes down, your enemy will be brought down and his/her life will be sour).

A great basic cleansing/removing evil bath you can take is: 1 cup strong black coffee, 3 Tablespoons of Kosher Salt, and 1 Tablespoon of fresh Lemon juice.  Mix it all together, pour the liquid into a tub of warm water, and get in.  While soaking, read out loud from Isaiah chapters 41 and 43.  That will take all evil off of you.  Get out of the tub, air dry or gently pat yourself dry.  Don't forget to dress your body with an appropriate conjure oil for luck or blessings; you need to put good stuff back on your body now that you took the bad stuff off! :)

If You're Low on Cash and Need Spiritual Cleansing: Hoodoo Cleansing Bath

I am very grateful to Sindy Todo for showing me the following recipe.

Mix up a bath to take off your bad luck out of the following ingredients:
-one cup of strong black coffee
-one tablespoon lemon juice
-three tablespoons Kosher salt

Mix all that up in a tub of hot water until the salt dissolves. Take all your clothes off and get in the tub. Pour the water over yourself several times until you're wet all over. Then read aloud from the Bible from the Book of Isaiah, chapters 41 and 43. Read them out loud. This is a strong bath.  The first time I took this, I found myself crying and gagging in the tub from the emotional release.
When you're done reading the chapters aloud, get out of the tub and let the water drain out.  Towel dry yourself and dress in clean clothes.

Prayer is also always free. Pray to God for help. Pray and ask your ancestors to help you out.  Remember: our ancestors have a vested interest in seeing us do well; we came from them, they were once alive like we are now, and someday we will be where they are.
