My updated APOTHECARY

First things first because i already got a comment about this on tiktok: Yes I have a bundle of sage. I was gifted this by my (great) aunt who is a proud apache woman. I personally do not buy sage. Since it has come into my possession, I might use it as an offering in my altar but I also may thank it and return it to the earth/bury it. If I wanted to use the sage I could because my heritage but I choose not to.

I am cuban on my dad’s side, my grandparents migrated to the US in the 70’s. My grandparents technically didn’t practice the Ifa religion (a branch of santeria, from my understanding) but had many close ties to it. My dad once told me about a ritual they had him do with a chicken… don’t know if I can post about that here. Point being, I am not encouraging others to use it. Personally I prefer smoke cleansing with incense unless it’s spring equinox, or my birthday. At that point I’ll use palo santo.

WHATS IN MY KIT -

Starting with the jars on the right I have:

Black salt (I made this)

Lavender (purchased on Amazon)

Money rice (this is a CLOSED hoodoo practice)

Chamomile

Peppermint

The other black lid jar I have it dried mint. I have cinnamon sticks and bay leaves in non labeled jars.

On the right I have my rice and sage. I feel like this is more than enough and all I need. I may get sea salt but I don’t *need* it. The only other things I have that aren’t pictures are pink and red rose petals that I like to have on display.

You don’t need to have 30+ things for your ritual work to be effective. You don’t need to spend over $100 on aesthetic herb bottles on etsy or amazon.

If you were curious I bought the purple case for $3.99 (normally $9.99) at Michael’s it’s currently on sale!

How do you store your herbs? I feel like I’m running out of room and looking for new ways to organize as my collection grows. What do you feel like is the one herb/flower you MUST have? I want to know. 💜
