![]() ![]() Although some herbs on this list are edible and can be ingested many are not, and I strongly warn on the intake of herbs without common knowledge. I Know of a Sancista woman who lives in the 12th floor of an apartment building who grows her herbs indoors using a neon light in the winter, while I know many who buy the packaged herbs in Botanicas. A few herbs all Sancistas should get usto are Rue, Rosemarry, and Basil. (Every Brujo, Curandero and Sancista should own a Mortar and Pestle) A Sancista should have a common knowledge of atleast a dozen herbs, I personally know around 18 or so, which I grow in my garden. If working with large amounts of herbs, boil water, and place herbs in a large mortar, adding water little by little as you use the pestle to mash out the magical healing properties, strain well and add to baths, oils or perfumes. ![]() Rule of Thumb, never boil herbs, simmer them or just add hot water, one can boil roots and barc, but never herbs. You can tie them in a bunch and dry them up slowly, and place them in containers to use in your spiritual or magical works. If you are going to use them, use them fresh or hang them upside down with stems facing upwards. You can try and grow them indoors or use them for your travajos. If you grow your own herbs and live in an area where the winters are cold, gather them before the first frost. Resins and Roots have an almost indefinate shelf life. If you are to dry your own herbs understand that although they contain energy they loose their magical properties within a year. One fresh herb leaf has more magical properties than any dried herb bought at a super market. I do not use store bought dried herbs in a plastic jar unless I am cooking them or want a quick tea, or need a quick Adobo or Sazon for my meals, these herbs contain little if no Ache to them, but I would rather use fresh herbs when possible. if we were to get lost and the sun would begin to set we would stand and make sure the sun was to our right hand side walk down until we would come to a stream that flowed down and would follow it all the way to the backyard of la Casita. Tia Sonia would warn not to go to deep in the forests as Las Brujas lived deep within them and would snatch any child who got lost after sunset. My dearest memories of la Casita was playing with my cousins in the deep forests, we would play cowboys and Indians or Cops and robbers. Behind La Casita as we call it, resides a lush tropical forest full of wild “Spanish Limes / Quenepas”, Soursop, “guanábana”, Guavas, mangoes, coconuts and oranges, while to the side of la Casita on a hilltop Tia Sonia had a vegetable garden of yuca, malanga and gandules. Although the original house was destroyed in 1989 by Hurricane Hugo, the current house still resides on the foundation that my grandfather built. Originally the house was a one bedroom small bohio “hut” made of plywood and a zinc roof and as the family grew so did la Casita. The house that she currently lives in was the house my mother and all her siblings where born in, it was built in the 1920s as a gift to my grandmother from my grandfather and great grandfather who built it. My aunt Tia Sonia, is a devote Penticostal pastor in my hometown of Comerio Puerto Rico, she has been in the religion for as long as I can remember. You have nothing to lose by trying Voodoo, so don’t hesitate and miss out on your chance to get real Voodoo work done by a traditional Houngan! ![]() So don’t wait to contact Emmanuel at no cost and inquire about whatever spells you need. If a spell isn’t here that addresses your specific needs, the Loas can be asked to perform it just for you. There is a Voodoo spell for every possible love-related desire, and due to the nature of the Loas and Voodoo energies new spells can be crafted at will. Other Voodoo spells may fall under the domain of different Loa, or be utilized without calling upon any Loa. Erzulie Dantor, on the other hand, is a Petro Loa, meaning that her love spells focus more on seduction, lust, and sexual appeal. Erzulie Freda Dahomey is a Rada aspect of the Loa, meaning that her spells deal primarily with true love, romance, and beauty. Voodoo spells have been used for centuries to help people find true love, romance, sexual fulfillment and happiness! Love spells in Voodoo fall primarily under the domain of the Loa Erzulie, in her forms of Erzulie Freda Dahomey and Erzulie Dantor. ![]()
