On Sunday's we set intentions (Sun, Sol) On Monday

On Sunday's we set intentions (Sun, Sol)
On Monday's we visualize and meditate (Moon)
On Tuesday's we ignite and Execute (Mars)

On Tuesdays we execute under the tutelage of the Orisha Ogun with the planetary influence of Mars which is associated with the vibrations of war, competition, bloodshed, chaos and fearlessness among other descriptive attributes. Although Exu opens the door, Ogun clears the path and paves the way. Iron is the material of choice for Ogun and essential to maintaining life. Blood and iron go hand in hand as it is essential for the transport of oxygen from your lungs to your bodily systems. Iron in your blood is the same metal we use in alchemy and to strengthen structures. When Iron meets oxygen it turns red, hence the color of our blood and the color of rusted iron and incidentally the color of fiery Mars. Iron in fact is one of the seven metals of alchemy.

Our Black Salt is prepared once a month on a Tuesday after or during the black moon phase, poured into the depths of our Ogun pot and pounded to fine granules with our railroad spikes. The workings with iron and the pot of Ogun is alchemy in its pure form. The force and intention of our hand is potential energy then it transforms into kinetic energy when the spike makes contact with the iron pot in emulation of a mortar and pestle.

Ritual is the components of transmutation where we become one with our tools and ingredients.

Black Salt is essential to removing obstacles and gaining the upper hand in all battles with overt and hidden enemies and to strengthen any ritual or ceremony.

"Thieves oil" has not only an interesting name as

"Thieves oil" has not only an interesting name as a reference, but also has a rather intriguing history. Urban legend has it that thieves were robbing graves during the bubonic plague (The Black Death) in the 15th century that killed many throughout Europe and Asia. These thieves, it is said, were indiscriminately robbing infected bodies and when they were finally captured, they intrigued everyone on their ability to be able to keep themselves from being infected by such a deadly disease.

In order to spare their lives, as in those times the greatest penalty for their actions was death, the thieves agreed to share the secret in order to spare their lives. The secret turned out to be a mixture of several anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic oils that today is known as "Thieves Oil". They told the officials that they applied this secret concoction on their hands, ears, temples and masks in order to prevent themselves from becoming infected. Although they were still put to death, the recipe still lives today as thieves oil to protect against contagious microbes and bacteria.

Although we are seemingly living through some similar times, essential oils are very potent to help ease a variety of mental and physical ailments from aches and pains, to helping improve your mood. Here's the recipe for Thieves Oil should you be curious to make your own with oil or the actual plants:

Clove Oil (antioxidant)
Lemon Oil (Antibacterial & antiseptic)
Cinnamon Oil (Antifungal)
Eucalyptus Oil (Antibacterial)
Rosemary Oil (Analgesic & Antiseptic)

My favorite way to use it is by using a roll on which I apply behind my ears and lymph node points around my body such as under my arms and feet every morning and night. Please note that this post is NOT SPONSORED but I do like using the @Youngliving essential oil roll on as its very convenient to use as a roll on. But as mentioned, you can make your own with the above mentioned recipe.

The herbs can be boiled and used in inhalation steams to clear and purify you of any nasal congestion, fight respiratory infections especially with colds, etc. You can also use the oil in diffusers to purify the air in any space and its 👇🏽

Weekends are for smudging ✨

Pictured here is our Frankincense & Myrrh incense resins.

Frank & Myrrh is an ancient incense blend to purify, ground and clarify any space. Also known as the holy blend as it was one of the gifts the Three Kings brought to the holy land to present to the “King of Kings”.

∴ Frankincense (light color) is calming, soothing and promotes harmony, peace and balance.

∴ Myrrh (dark color) is purifying, cleansing, protective and removes low, parasitic energies.

Blended together Frank & Myrrh is a combination of earthy & grounding scents with an underlying clean and clearing aroma.

“May life forgive me for the times I did not live it.”

This is such a beautiful quote. I really felt those words. In the words of my favorite rapper and poet...”Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender.” -Tupac Shakur

Sunday Vibes with Sweetgrass 🌿 Sweetgrass, jus

Sunday Vibes with Sweetgrass 🌿

Sweetgrass, just like Sage, is sacred and originally used by Native American Sages (First Nations People) to smudge people and their surroundings. Sweetgrass can be burned during meditation and during spiritual spells or gatherings to attract positive spirits and activate personal guides during said meditations.

The sweet scent of sweetgrass opens your senses to connect with the spirit, angelic realm and ancestors. It attracts calming and emotionally encouraging feelings as well as refreshes and uplifts your energy. Its light clean scent reminds you to connect with Mother Nature and attracts harmonious and peaceful energy. My go to for pure peace and relaxation.

For many years I would drive by cemeteries and smell sweetgrass, but never knew its actual reference or that it was a "thing" to use for smudging. One day, while ordering from my incense connections they sent me a sample of sweetgrass. I almost cried because it took me back to those times I'd drive by the cemeteries and smell it and think it was the essence of transformation among the dead. I always associated the scent of sweetgrass with those brief drive by the cemetery and appreciate how fragile life truly is.

Scents are closely related to emotions (aromatherapy) and not exclusively tied to essential oils. When we smell we activate the limbic system, the part of our brain that modulates emotions and memories. This is why you can smell a scent whether cooked goods or a perfume and it instantly takes you back to a memory.

Check out our fresh batch of sweetgrass at the shop @Desp.OjOs to experience the calming scent of Sweetgrass for yourself.
