Despite the name, Florida Water 💧 is not a water-based potion! Most people use vodka to steep the herbs and flowers. Its strong magical properties have made it an essential ingredient in Hoodoo, Voodoo, Santeria, Wicca, and Witchcraft practices.
Why this Spell Works
- This Traditional Recipe has been used for hundreds of years, adopted by Southern practitioners of the Hoodoo and Voodoo traditions to cleanse the home and use in rituals. Originally named as the American version of Eau de Cologne in the 1800’s. 🧐
- The Herbs listed here each have their own magical properties which, combined with your intention, will aid in cleansing and protecting from negative energies.
