4 Thieves Vinegar

Well, it’s a new year. Welcome to 2022! We’re still battling the stupid virus though, so I decided to send you something to maybe help keep you healthier- or at least spiritually cleansed.

To make a long story short- the four thieves herbal blend was said to keep a group of hoodlums safe from the plague- people believe these may be herbs used back then.

Included in this month’s box:

A clear quartz cluster- good for basically everything

Kitchen sage (for clarity & protection; helps aid digestion and good for sore throat)

Wormwood (assists in cleansing; pain relief from arthritis)

Rosemary (you already know. But also- stands in for whatever you need, and anti-inflammatory)

Thyme (healer/protector, immunity booster)

Peppermint (cleansing/healing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial)

Rainbow Peppercorns (protection/strength, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory)

Moon incense

Mandala Moon altar decoration

For the Plus tier: New Year rune bar necklace (Raidho, movement- moving into the new year, bringing Wunjo- joy, and Sowilo- light)

When you make this you can use apple cider vinegar, or oil (I usually use avocado because that’s what I have). Use the vinegar for cleaning or even to make a vinaigrette or marinade, if you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients, or use the oil to anoint candles or altar tools.

First cleanse the jar- I would wash it, then pass it through smoke from the incense to consecrate it.

Add a small spoonful of each herb in a jar. Think about the properties of each herb you’re adding- what is it there to do for you? What are you asking of it? Let it know what you expect. I just think these things, but if you feel better or get better results from speaking them aloud, do so.

Put a lid on the jar and shake the shit out of it. If you used vinegar, consider using parchment paper between the lid and the liquid to keep the vinegar from corroding the metal (I used a plastic lid to avoid this issue).

Then put it in the fridge (for vinegar) or in a cool dark place (for oil) for a couple of weeks. Shake daily, if you remember. Maybe keep the crystal cluster on top for good vibes.

Sprinkle it in floor wash if it’s vinegar, dip a Q-tip in the oil to write sigils on your windows, or make it into a vinaigrette by adding equal portions of vinegar and oil to a jar, add a small spoon of Dijon mustard, maybe some more pepper, and shake the hell out of it until it’s well mixed.
