Camphor
Camphor is under the dominion of the moon. The lunar palace of Lady Chang’O is allegedly crafted from cinnamon wood, however both true cinnamon and camphor derive from trees of the Cinnamonium family. Maybe the Moon Lady’s palace was actually built from camphor wood.
Because of this connection, camphor can transmit some of the moon’s protective and luck drawing powers. Here’s how:
Charge spring water with lunar energies by filling a white, blue, or silver container with clear spring water and then leaving it in a windowsill or outdoors on a full moon night. The next day, dissolve a camphor square into the lunar-charged spring water.
Use this water to cleanse appropriate magical tools so that they may be used to fulfill your wishes and be imbued with the power of the moon.
NOTE:
Be careful, camphor can also be toxic.
This liquid is used as a hexing agent. Write your problem on paper and soak the paper in the vinegar. Allow it to dry and then burn it to be rid of the problem.
To make Four Thieves Vinegar, take a bottle of apple cider vinegar and add the following herbs in handfuls.
- Rosemary
- Wormwood
- Rue
- Camphor (optional)
- Patchouli
Heat the mixture to almost boiling once a day for four days in a row. Strain and cap it tightly. Store in a dark place.
