Peace doesn’t necessarily mean passivity. Peace often entails: •Setting a boundary to preserve our peace •Standing up for ourselves to ensure our peace •Removing ourselves from toxic circumstances Preserving our peace can be one of the most courageous things we do

Humility is a strong shield against hater energy Humility illuminates the good ones, who will never take it as a sign of weakness. The ones that do get the boot Humility strengthens our connection to our Ancestors. We thank them for teaching and guiding the way, and they do so

What we do for work, even if we love it, is a role we play It is not who we are Remember to create a life you love whatever role you’re playing

It takes courage to make life changes Anyone who throws shade your way for making those life changes should get removed out of your inner circles or simply deleted out of your life Remember the good ones will always celebrate changes that make you happy & bring you peace

Limpias are often needed & a beautiful ofrenda to our soul pieces—wounded child, teenager, Lemon barridas: clear energy cording from difficult circumstances Baños: facilitate a deep cleanse & renewal White Fire Limpia: purge, cry, release into the fire & let it clear heaviness

If a hex has been sent by way of brujeria-magick, the receiver should ask: Does the sender need to be bound from any further adverse action Does the energy of the hex need to be transmuted Does the sender need to be permanently deterred Should receiver’s info be cloaked

Aside from vinegar & sea salt that are commonly used to clear hexes, here are plants, fruits & vegetables that are also used to clear hexes: Mugwort Epazote Feverfew Lemon Balm Rosemary Cempazúchitl Chamomile Nettle Parsley Hibiscus Linden Red Chillies Garlic Rue Tobacco

To clear a hex, a good rule of thumb is to engage in 7 consecutive daily limpias with a combination of all the elements, such as Water: baños, showers Earth: use plants that cleanse holistically in barridas, tonics Fire: velaciónes, puros Air: space limpias, spoken word

The severity of a hex typically depends on: Whether the receiver committed some kind of wrongdoing Receiver has gone into fear mode regarding the hex The strength of the sender’s soul energies The connection the receiver has with the sender (or person requesting the hex)

Hexes can involve either brujeria-magick, or strong ill-wishing against the receiver A hex can result in: spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical illnesses, and/or misfortunes against the receiver and their loved ones
