    charm by placing a tablespoon of the powder into a black
    or white magic bag and tying it shut. Keep the bag with
    you wherever you go for the entire waning moon phase. If
    you do not have any black or white fabric handy, you can
    tie the powder in coffee filters but, it is best not to keep these on your person as they are fragile and could break.
    Just make several and put one in your car, under your bed, put one amongst your clothing, etc.
    Foods
    Since food is the fuel the helps your body run, all natural, plant based foods i.e. grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds have a certain amount of cleansing ability. The
    more processed these foods become, the less cleansing
    ability they contain. Having said that, there are several
    food items that can be used to facilitate cleansing of the body, mind and spirit when eaten alone or when used as
    ingredients in larger meals.
    Onions have a particularly strong cleansing ability
    and it is believed that onions; whether eaten or rubbed
    on the body have the ability to absorb illness and negativity. Lemons are another strong cleansing food. As previ-
    ously stated, a properly charged lemonade (again, made
    by hand from real lemons, not a mix) can be used as an
    inner cleansing potion. There are several ingredients that, although do not constitute a meal in and of themselves,
    will provide a very important boost to meals designed
    to bring about an inner cleansing from negativity. Such

    ingredients include: parsley, peppermint, rosemary, anise, bay, fennel, horseradish, and potatoes, though this latter food is used more for healing. If you are asking the Faery or Ancestors for their assistance in cleansing you, then
    you can add some dairy products to your recipe. Milk,
    cream, and butter have always been offerings to the Oth-
    erworld. Indeed, butter is a symbol of magic and trans-
    formation since it has to be transformed from a liquid
    (cream) to a solid (butter) and has been used for centuries in magic and ritual.
    Honestly, if you make rosemary mashed potatoes
    with caramelized onions and add milk or cream, some
    real butter and you charge it for cleansing, you will have a very potent modern dish that will feed your body with
    cleansing energy. You could pair this with lean meat if you wish, but try to avoid red meat as its energy is not conducive to cleansings. If you make gravy for the mashed po-
    tatoes, make a mushroom gravy with real mushrooms; the
    old fashioned way and charge it separately also for cleansing. If you wish to add a salad to your cleansing meal (or just make a salad instead) use lettuce, onion, tomato and
    make a lemon vinaigrette dressing.
    As you can see, there are a lot of items that may be
    used to facilitate clearing and cleansing of the body, mind, spirit and environment of negativity that are very readily available and blessedly inexpensive. In fact, most people
    have one or two of these items already in their home; all
    that needs to be done are to properly charge and combine
    76 Chapter 4
    the items and you’re all ready to go! It is wise, depend-
    ing on what your specific goal is in regard to clearing or cleansing, to utilize as many methods as you feel necessary and that you have available to you, in order to achieve your goal. For example, if you desire a spiritual cleansing of negativity; let’s say that you feel tired and bogged down by other people’s pessimism and you wish to dissolve it
    away, you can use Four Thieves’ Vinegar in your bath
    water, anoint with cleansing oils and eat cleansing foods and drink cleansing beverages everyday for a week or even
    an entire waning moon phase if need be. This multi-tiered
    approach will ensure that you receive a strong and thor-
    ough dissolution of the negative psychic grunge; leaving
    you energized and whole once more. Granted combining
    several techniques for one goal is not always feasible or
    desirable and indeed is not
