Florida Water

No Florida Water is not water from Florida. It’s actually an alcohol based cologne that is scented with lavender, rose, lemon, cinnamon, and many other essential oils. Its original purpose was very straight forward; a cologne. However throughout history it was adopted as a spiritual cleansing cologne. It is often used to attract luck, self love, and cleansing spaces.

Florida Water is not specific to a specific practice but can be seen being used in Hoodoo, Voodoo, Rootwork, and Bruja. Usually it is seen as a means to communicate with ancestors, aid in self love rituals, and even as a cleansing tool for spiritual tools such as crystals. But it is also important to note that Florida Water is alcohol and as a result can easily catch things on fire, so it is important to be careful when using it near flames or candles.

 Florida Water can be bought at local spiritual shops or even Walgreens and Rite Aid. However, it is also really easy to make at home. All that is necessary is vodka, orange and lemon pees, herbs of your choice, and essential oil of your choice. It is recommended to be made on the night of a New Moon and then let it marinate under the lunar cycle until the next New Moon.

In general, Florida Water is an agent to rituals. It helps make rituals and spells stronger. It is great for removing evil eyes, cleansing spaces, and using it as an anointing perfume for many reasons. From protection, to love, to overings, Florida Water is good for it all. Due to its versatility, Florida Water is a staple product to have in your spiritual cabinet. Come down to Harry’s World on South Street to grab it for your next spiritual ritual.
