13 Herb Bath for Curse Removal

Herbal mixture of magic spells
13 Herb Bath for curse removal can be made from from any 13 uncrossing and purification herbs.

For example, if I needed to fix a batch of 13 herb bath right now based on what I've got in the house, I could mix bay leaves, rue, mint, rosemary, wood betony, sage, verbena, angelica root, white rose petals, lemongrass, lemon peel, agrimony and arnica, and it would suffice well. Other herbs like hyssop, pine needles, juniper leaves, boldo, eucalyptus leaves, mullein, basil, lavender, or marshmallow leaves would be good to use too.

By no means complete, here is a list of just a few herbs said to remove a curse or jinx that you can use to make your own 13 Herbs bath:

Agrimony
Alkanet
Angelica
Arnica
Basil
Bay leaves
Black Pepper
Blessed Thistle
Boldo
Cayenne Pepper
Chives
Eucalyptus
Garlic
Hyssop
John the Conqueror
Juniper
Lavender
Lemon
Lemongrass
Lime
Marshmallow leaves
Mint
Mullein
Onion
Pine
Rosemary
Rue
Sage
Sandalwood
Verbena
White Rose Petals
Wood Betony
Wahoo Bark

To take the bath: mix your herbs in equal parts (for one bath, a teaspoon of each is probably adequate) and boil the herbs together in water to make a strong liquid infusion. Some people like to boil the herbs for 13 minutes, but I prefer more like 30 to ensure the mixture is as potent as possible. Let the mixture cool and strain the herbs out. You are left with an herbal water which you must add to your bath.

It is traditional to take 13 herb baths daily for for 13 days in order to remove very strong curses and hexes, but you can take it only one time if you think you've merely run into a little bad energy and need a small cleansing. As always, do not add any other soaps or perfumes to a spiritual bath (take a separate shower beforehand if you need to shampoo your hair or anything of that sort.) If you don't have a bathtub you can either wash yourself out of a pan of the herb water with a washcloth, or you can use a foot soak instead of a full bath -- but you must be certain in either case to wet your head with the herbal water.

This is a very strong bath that will remedy most spiritual ailments. However, if you need stronger curse removal help, you can pair it with other curse removal spells or you can visit a professional spellcaster.

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or any other number of metaphors. I had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it with Bend Over powder. He paid me what I ...

Ammonia - A Spiritual Cleansing Agent for Magick

Ammonia is a strong cleansing agent in hoodoo magick, both physically and spiritually. In Edwardian times it was advised as an old home remedy for a nerve tonic (see recipe below.)  "Household ammonia" or "ammonium hydroxide" is a solution of NH3 in water. Household ammonia ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia. The Romans called the ammonium chloride deposits they collected from near the Temple of Amun (Greek Ἄμμων Ammon) in ancient Libya 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple of Amun, the chief god of ancient Thebes. Salts of ammonia have been known from very early times; thus the term Hammoniacus sal appears in the writings of Pliny, although it is not known whether the term is identical with the more modern sal-ammoniac (ammonium chloride). In the form of sal-ammoniac (nushadir) ammonia was important to the Muslim alchemists as early as the 8th century, first mentioned by the arab chemist...

Spiritual Use of Turpentine in Hoodoo and Witchcraft

  I have posted in the past about the use of giving one's bedding a spiritual cleansing from time to time.  I recently was laundering my pillows in the same load of laundry as some turpentine-soaked rags, with the result that the pillows emerged from the wash reeking of turpentine.  From a magical perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Turpentine is used in old-time hoodoo rituals for purposes such as uncrossing, protection and sometimes as a feed for mojo bags. Its solvent powers and strong odor do indeed suggest a powerful spiritual cleansing agent, and it is still used in some modern day cleaning products on a purely practical level for these same reasons.  Old time medicines sometimes included turpentine as a thing to drink, in small doses. A book from the 1850s, The Domestic Medicine Chest , recommends giving it to children in a dose of one teaspoon for killing tapeworm. Relatedly, in old time hoodoo cures for "live things" turpentine might be made into a tea...
