Ammonia
Ammonia is easy to come by and has a variety of uses in Conjure. It can be substituted from urine–sometimes referred to as chamber lye. Use of ammonia can be found in everything from protection spells to those for prosperity. It is also used for cleaning, which is also what it is most often used for commercially. +++ A popular sidewalk wash consists of 1 part sugar, 1 part cinnamon, and 1 part ammonia (or urine). Dilute this mixture in a bucket of water and use it to wash outside your place of business, sweeping towards the door to your establishment. This is said to bring business, and is best done on a Friday. +++ A capful can be added to a soaking bath for cleaning work, but only a capful, as too much ammonia irritates the skin.

Blessing Oil
What is the nature of the blessing you seek? Is it to bless a newborn, a deck of Tarot cards, a business endeavor? Based on its application, a blessing formula may contain ingredients—essential oils, scents, herbs, curios—specific to a single goal; therefore an oil to bless a newborn may be fresh olive oil over which Psalm 127 has been read aloud; a Tarot deck blessing may include botanicals used to induce psychic power, such as star anise, bay leaf, heliotrope, wormwood, and so forth. Below you will find recipes for general blessing, formulas that may be used for any situation. If you wish to emphasize a purpose, such as for your business venture, then one of the following blessing formulas may be blending with another mixture such as Money Come To Me or Crown Of Success. When we look at what ingredients go into a good blessing oil we are looking for items that promote positive conditions, such as fertility, growth, and things associated with the divine from whatever spiritual source inspires you. This later category can be broad, especially if you were to work with curios, such as the medal of your patron saint or a screw [...]

Florida Water
The spicy-flowery notes of Florida Water are complemented by sweet orange, lavender, and clove. Always promoted as a unisex scent, Florida Water can be used as a body splash, aftershave, skin toner, linen sprinkle, and so much more.
