I have written a few posts regarding my faith and practice of Ifa/Orisha Worship. I’ve never posted Spiritual Baths or Ebo’s (Lord knows I have enough to write a book or two!). Those who practice know that this is an oral based tradition and history. I’ve been the right hand of my Babalow (Ifa Priest- read more here http://thesacredforest.org/ifa) for so many years. He is the Babalow of sacrifice. Which means his wisdom is often sought for readings, ebo’s, and how to just get your shit right! He is a respected elder in the community and our relationship is that of father/daughter. I’m on the west coast, he’s on the east coast, and we speak on a weekly basis.

Recently he called me  just to catch up for the week…touch base… shoot the breeze. It’s common for the conversation to switch to, let’s just call it “Spiritual Enlightenment.” When this happens, I’m prepared to write because he will just start dropping knowledge on the fly. This is exactly what happened when he gave me this bath…

I had just told him how good I’ve been feeling…blah blah blah. Next thing I know he starts telling me to make a bath with lemons, limes, ect. Baba spoke intensely about negativity and specifically said “Send sour shit down the drain.” I have learned over the years when he calls to give things to do, such as this bath, he is seeing something I may not necessarily be aware of. When we are at our best, at our happiest, it creates jealousy and negativity from others. People  will spend endless energy trying to tear you down.

Well not this lady! I have every intention on staying on this happy, positive high I’ve been on for a long time! I refuse to let anyone steal my joy! So I gathered my ingredients and happily took my little spiritual bath. Truth be told, I didn’t think I could feel any better than I already did- but I did. I posted a pic of the bath on IG with a small backstory. A few people asked for the bath, I happily sent it to their DM’s. More people reached out for the bath, so I decided to make things easier and put it on the blog. So here it is!

May this spiritual bath bring YOU peace of mind and relaxation. May this spiritual bath send ALL the negative energy around you down the drain…  ~Ase’ O!

Spiritual Bath- Send Negative Energy Down the Drain

  • You can either put all ingredients directly into your  bath water. Or you can put all ingredients in a large bowl, pour bowl over you in the shower.
  • 25 lemons and/or limes. Slice in halves squeeze juice out.
  • light honey

  • If you choose bath- soak and relax. When done, let water out, let negative energy down the drain.
