Hey, y'all! You ever get caught between ‘love’ and 'don’t touch me’?

Good! Well if that’s happening to you. This is what you need to do. You need to cleanse your spirit and body. Someone is playing with your emotions and it could very well be you, but you need to get that negative ass energy off of you and then it’s foolish to clean internally and leave your shell filthy. So do it all.

There’s so much that goes on in life that you just don’t have time for the miscommunication and mixed emotions when it comes to feeling wanted. This does NOT mean put a love spell on anyone or to increase potency of a current spell. This simply means you need clarity and healing. I’m here to tell you that everything that you need is really already within you, but you have to go down the right road to get to your necessities.

Be bougie. Be loved. Be you.

aka the most overdue post on my blog. I have been struggling with getting a basic recipe and guide out because it’s such an important, useful, tool that can go overlooked and I want to get it right. I’ve decided to go ahead and publish the copy from the pages i’ve written on it since I’m 2 years late on my cookbook. I promise it’s coming! I have page layouts and everything - i’m sad i had to put it on pause so consider this a sneak peek and a very long post. hope you like it!

Disclaimer ⛔

The idea here is that the original recipe isn’t safe for consumption but those ingredients are what make it so effective. So it can be wise to have two different batches working. The classic which is toxic - for external work, and a modified recipe that can be ingested. Make sure you keep these properly marked and away from each other. 

Uses

As a seasoning in food
As a daily supplement 
Cleansing Baths

History

The history behind Four Thieves is elusive- There’s a possible confusion of names. Richard Forthave, a man said to have allegedly concocted and sold the vinegar as a medicine. The name being transformed over time from Forthave’s to Four Thieves. Then there are the more classic tales of thieves ranging from four to four hundred, employing it as a pesticide and cologne during the plague. Regardless of it’s origins, it was highly effective. It’s prolific history has made it a staple in folklore and practices around the world to protect oneself from illness and malevolence.

One tradition I personally enjoy when crafting your own is adding a new personal ingredient to a batch. Your own contribution as a “thief” to the ever-growing folklore. Customize your vinegar to your own needs! For example, I add turmeric for it’s anti-inflammatory properties as well as it’s energetic and positive correspondences
