Cultural Note

Indigo used in spiritual applications in various indigenous African traditions is often referred to as “blueing”, laundry bluing, bluestone or añil. Indigo is a traditional ingredient in ceremonies in addition to cleansing and protection rituals and spells. Indigo is the traditional ingredient found in the original recipes for “Florida Water”.

Indigo’s energy is know to help clear away negative or unwanted energy and opposition. Indigo promotes peace in the home. It is also used for enhancing good fortune.

Suggested Use

1. Take a spiritual bath with Indigo. Make sure that you are physically clean first -- take a bath or shower as you normally would. Afterward, fill your bath (or a basin) with warm water. While your tub is filling, add a pinch of indigo to a mortar and pestle and add in a splash of fresh natural spring water and grind until indigo becomes a smooth paste. Add a small amount of the indigo paste to your bath and stir with your hand while speaking your intentions. When the water is completely blue, step into the bath and immerse yourself. Allow the indigo water to clear away any negative or unsettling energy.

2. If you often have guests, you know how the energy of your home can feel different after someone leaves. Every person has their own personal energy, as well as any they may have picked up along the way. When they bring that to your house, it can disrupt things.

Take a glass or vase filled with fresh, natural spring water. Avoid using distilled or purified water. Add a pinch of indigo to a mortar and pestle and add in a splash of fresh natural spring water and grind until indigo becomes a smooth paste. Add a small amount of Indigo paste to bowl of spring water and stir until it is completely dissolved. Place this vessel near your front door (or whichever entrance guests use most often). This will help remove any negative or unwanted energy people bring into your home.

3. Use in floor wash or surface cleaner. Take a spray bottle or mop bucket and fill with fresh, natural spring water. Avoid using distilled or purified water. Add other prtoctecting or cleansing herbs and essential oils. Add a pinch of indigo to a mortar and pestle and add in a splash of fresh natural spring water and grind until indigo becomes a smooth paste. Add small amount of indigo paste to the spray bottle or mop bucket filled with spring water. Indigo can build the astral nature of the person, place, or thing to which it is applied.

*Please note that indigo is very pigmented and may stay fabrics and surfaces. Avoid using large amounts on surfaces and inside the tub. It is suggested to follow up application of indigo with an additional cleaning to remove any blue color that you don’t want to leave behind.
