Love this! Did you also know that for home cleansings and blessings, you can mix Florida Water with Basil and Rue herbs and anoint your floors, windows, and doorways for good luck, protection, and prosperity?
I used to get mine from Papa Jim (when they stopped selling it locally) If you make ouanga bags and the herbs are smelly it can be used to help cover the fragrance. A myriad of uses! Even better if you can make it yourself🙌👏👏👏 thanks for the helpful tip💜🌈💜 looking forward to the livestream
@@BewitchingBemused scents are so personal, I mean what bothers one will draw the other ... I think Valerian smells grand in an earthy way but many do not 😜
I was shocked the first time I heard people say they thought patchouli smelled like body odor because I've always loved the scent of patchouli! Once I realized a lot of people are not too keen on it, I figured I might want to stop burning it in my house if I want people coming around lol
@@BewitchingBemused yes! exactly 😄 I love it too but I'm careful with it .. plus some people can't take fragrance of any kind so you have to be thoughtful when visitors come (unless you just say well screw them! no! that's wrong! lol 😁)
I had originally thought Florida Water was more for Hoodoo (based on where I found it in my local shop) and thought I should avoid it. But it seems that it's also just a southern thing. So since I am in Virginia, I figured I would try it. Now it's "that scent" that can get me in the right frame of mind.
Although Hoodoo is a closed practice and shouldn’t in itself be appropriated, we also have to keep in mind that in the years that America has been Colonized, Slavery was a part of it from the very beginning, so there was never a point where Regional magic was changing and developing further WITHOUT the influence of Hoodoo as well. Many southern Folk Practices do have bits of Hoodoo mixed in just as many Practitioners of Hoodoo in southern America have picked up magical traditions that came over from Europe. It does get kind of hard to differentiate, and not everyone agrees, but I feel that the ingredients that have been used in Folk magic for a couple hundred years that were naturally integrated into the practice from Hoodoo influence is not the same as intentionally looking into Using techniques belonging to a closed practice alone and no other practice. There are some interesting books that talk about some of these things regarding Southern and Appalachian Folk Magick too.

Hi, just found your channel. Loving it! I want to know if Florida Water is the same as Rose Water?

I do play with essential oils cut with fractionated coconut oil just about daily. I need to learn more kitchen witchcraft.

Yes, absolutely! I just use bottom shelf vodka myself because it's cheaper 😂
